Google, and other search engines use URLs, allong with the page title and the words you use on a page to determine what the content is about. People use URLs to rememebr where a page was, but they need them simply written, so we make sure that URLs are readable, relevant and if they are too long we can also set up a short-cut.

To create a custom form that sends a newsletter sign up for your own newsletter into the Partners Database is both easy and a good strategic decision, as it means that new contacts are added inmmediately to the global system. It also means that you have immediate access to them via your reporting interface in the Partners Database.
EpiServer is set up with some forms that communicate directly with the Partners Database and with a service that queries information back from the database. This data is used to inform us of activity in the network, provide help and asssistance (see collecting data using forms) and to show on the website our reach using maps.
