need a custom mod-rewrite function

[dreamhost]

Basically I am trying to 'fool' alexa and a few other sites into believing that my members view many more pages than they actually do via the slideshow feature.

The problem is that the url for slideshows doesn't change other than the parameters after the file itself.

example:

mywebsitenet/photopost/slideshow.php?photo=658&cat=&slideshow=1&slidedelay=10&size=medium

The only thing that is going to change is the photo=variable...

How do I put in an htaccess rule to rewrite it so that it is more like my vbseo?
something like

mywebsite.net/photopost/slideshow.php/photo=658/

get the idea?


btw
I'm getting killed by google for having so many duplicate links to my photo's. There are so many different ways of accessing the same photo that it's causing problems. Google thinks I have the exact same content in many different places throughout my website and has dropped my ranking.

Is photopost ever going to fix the spider friendly url issue like vbseo does for vb? I already have the friendly seo turned on my website, but it is still putting the variables outside the file parameter so combinations are almost limitless to the bots. Am I just missing something somewhere?

You really can not without modifying the slideshow to do spider urls which would mean modifying that file and also the showphoto.php as you would need to place conditionals there for slideshow to do spider or not.

The program with urls is additional parameters which offer additional features in a dymamic program which is very hard to make work with google.
