You bet, use a real URL rewriting solution from your web server, instead of using a CF-based solution with CGI.PATH_INFO. mod_rewrite is the 800 LBS gorilla in the arena, and if you're not running Apache HTTPD, there are similar tools available for other web servers.
Just keep in mind that SES urls are of benefit because you have meaningful information in the URL, not because the ? and & are missing. If you're just chopping those out, it's not going to make a difference. You need to create keyword-rich URLs. For example 'domain.com/product.cfm?id=342' and 'domain.com/product/id/342' are going to be identical in performance with search engines. `domain.com/product/342` will perform similarly poorly. On the other hand, 'domain.com/product/MyNeatRemoteControlCar/342' will perform much better because of the keywords. 'domain.com/MyNeatRemoteControlCar` will perform best of all. Standard caveats about contrived examples apply, but you get the idea. cheers, barneyb On 3/19/07, james carberry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am on a quest to figure out a more "seamless" approach to Search Engine > Safe (SES) URL's with ColdFusion.
