>> but the ranking algorithms place SES urls higher than the ugly IDs. It doesn't make much sense to me, particularly when you look at all the fake search result pages that are filled with text ads, but that get high ranks because of their SES URLs.
Yeah, those sites are really a plague. But not all search engines fall in the trap. I think Google does not list them as often as other. Google uses anothe scheme to rank sites: The more your site is refered by other high ranked sites, the more it gets a higher rank. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
