By "Application page" do you mean Application.cfm? If you do, then the search engine bot is never going to know where the session/client variables are being set.
In general, you probably want to allow bots to spider the pages of your shop, but surely client and session variables are irrelevant for viewing pages of your shop catalogue? -----Original Message----- From: Nomad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 28 October 2005 11:31 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Client/Session Variable: When to set? Hello! Need to clear this up once and for all.... When is the best time to set session/client variables..(Application page or Cart page for an online shop) and why? My understanding is that sites that set session/client variables in Application page have poor search engine ranking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
