I recently lost a client because the sales folks from that approached them told them "Your site is using an ancient language called 'Coldfusion' that nobody is supporting any more, and it's /*KILLING YOUR SEARCH RESULTS*/"! The site used friendly urls, so the cfm extension wasn't visible to start with. WTF?? No amount of discussion/demonstration from my end could convince them that Google wasn't ranking them lower because they were using an "obsolete" language. I finally gave up and let them go. As a freelancer, the number of Coldfusion jobs (in my area anyway) seem to be shrinking. I can find almost all the PHP work I want though. Just don't have the stomach for .net, so I'll stick with PHP for now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:357985 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
