Google says at http://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html that "We're able to index dynamically generated pages. However, because our web crawler could overwhelm and crash sites that serve dynamic content, we limit the number of dynamic pages we index." This suggests that a site with a very large number of pages would be better off using the .html file extension rather than .cfm so as to not trigger any limitation by Google on its indexing and thereby possibly improve search engine optimization. I want to set up a server to test this and see if it really makes any difference. Can someone tell me where and how exactly to change the Registry of a Windows 2003 server to tell ColdFusion to process .html files?
Your informed opinions as to whether or not it really would make much difference to Google would also be appreciated. For example it might be that Google's threshold for imposing limits on the number of dynamic pages they index is 50,000 pages or more, and that's far more than I intend to be building for any one web site. My sites I'm talking about will be in the range of around 1,000 to 5,000 individual CF templates. Is anybody already running sites having that range of individual .cfm files without any problems getting them all crawled by Google? Thanks, Karl S.
