Making the url seo friendly in Asp.net MVC

While performing search engine optimization on our online movie booking website GO4cinema.com  which is developed in asp.net mvc, i came across a few issues which i am now blogging about.

The movies details page of our website had the url www.go4cinema.com/movie/details/61, now the problem with such a url is:

I recently installed asp.net mvc 3 to evaluate it on my development machine. Soon i forgot about the same and was coding for go4cinema.com.

With a tight schedule i switched off to the good old “System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine”, in the hope that my next restart would correct the issue.

However the next restart and even a couple of days passed without the problem being solved so i googled around with the keyword “Unable to evaluate the expression” and as usual got the solution from DREW MILLER and Laurent Kempé. Please find the links below.

With YSlow we get:
