Thanks for all the tips... it was my understanding too that search engines play nice with URL vars - I'm not too sure why "SES safe" URLs are still being talked about so often.
Also, just to be sure, I should translate all META keywords and descriptions to each language, correct? You can have more than one set of META data per domain, right? Speaking of which, are there any advantages/disadvantages to customizing your META data for each page of your site? So if one page focuses on cars, but another focuses on racing, you put car-related keywords on one page and race-related keywords on the other. Is this good/bad/ineffective?

Yep, Google indexes them pretty exactly the same as sites with SES url's... which is why I'm glad I never bothered with the whole SES url nonsense... A whole lot of hair-pulling for bupkiss. Plus if you want SES url's, use mod rewrite or isapi rewrite. It's infinitely easier to implement it there than it is to reverse engineer the query string in CF. > This may well start a big war here, but are dynamic URLs > really a big > problem anymore for todays modern search engine?
