When you ad a page to the site under page content template the id number is the one that shows up in the url. example: http://www.boatingswapshop.com/page/3.html
Is there a way to change this so the name of the page is in the url? example:
http://www.boatingswapshop.com/page/about.html

Thanks for the help in advance!

There is not a standard built in way to do it. I think that there is a mod available (SEO?) from a third party that will do that.

I did purchase this mod for seo friendly urls this does work with each ad that is placed (example: viewlisting.php?view=354 changes to this
listing/60/2005_Glastron_MX_185.html)
just curious about the page id numbers.

You mean the static pages that you create in admin? You will have to read up on apaches mod_rewrite and look at your seo mod for some pointers and then create your own rewrite rules based on your pages and what you would like the URL to be.
