Trust me...neither of those are my friends.

This would be something my web guy would have to do...would this mean a rewrite for every url (cant afford that) or is there some sort of automation process?

You would only need to do rewrites for your landing pages, though if you have many, you could create a generic rule that would shorten all your product/cat URLs.

If you are using PHP, and your hosting supports mod-rewrite (most do), a .htaccess file with some code for rewriting your pages, tied into a database where you can specify what friendly URLs you want for each page, header information such as meta tags and descriptions, title and then display the page can be easily done.
