Vanity urls generally refers to those which are devoid of characters like %,&, and extensions like .html,.php, .asp etc and are "human-readable". it normally helps to maintain a proper hierarchy separated by slashes. For example, www.sourcepoint.tk/articles/category/general/ is one such url. it makes any one understand what the page has - Articles categorised under General category.
