Is there anyway to set SEO url's without having to put a .aspx?

I don't know if this has been discussed before but it's something i'd really like to be able to do, especially for specific categories.

The reason being is mostly for google indexing.

If my site has www.mysite.com/cars instead of www.mysite.com/cars.aspx it will index it with subcategories when someone does a search for my domain

If everyone was able to do this for there main categories I think it would be helpful.

Any plans on doing this?

If i'm not clear you can see a quick example of this by googling cnet.com

Thanks

You can't do it like this currently. The SEO Url must end in .aspx. However, you can have SEO Urls with slashes in them to simulate a subcategory. For example, you could create a category with an SEO Url of cars.aspx, and then create subcategories of that category with SEO Urls of "cars/Ford.aspx" and "cars/Chevrolet.aspx". I'm not sure if Google will treat this the same way as the way cnet is shown, but this a way to sort of simulate a folder structure like that.

you create a regular subcategory
Than you rename the url like this:

www.yoursite.com/category/subcategory.aspx
