   How does URL rewriting work?   
   23 Jul 16 06:40:22   
   
   ...OK, so I understand that Apache can be made to "rewrite" "site.com/person1"   
   to "site.com/person.php?arg=1" etc etc. - but my question is:   
   How does Google get the URL "site.com/person1" in the first place? Is it a   
   dictionary? Or does there have to be a link to it somewhere? That doesn't   
   sound plausible or possible.....   
      
      
   Thanks.
