What are you saying that Google is the only search engine that matters. That shows that you don't kow much about search engines positioning.

They clearly index CF sites since they have 17,600,000 of them listed when you search for .cfm http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=%2B.cfm IMO, the people your client hired are idiots and really don't know up from down. IMO, Search engine safe URL's are pretty much a thing of the past. Almost all bots index pages with query strings.. Of course it's not a bad idea to use SES URL's if you can. In regards to creating a static site, that's more work for you. It shouldn't be too hard either using CFHTTP and saving the files to disk. - JD -----Original Message----- From: Chad Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 1:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Spiders and Cold Fusion One of out clients has hired an Internet Marketing company to help get them more hits. I just got a call from one of their reps, and they were trying to tell me "Cold Fusion will not work with search engine spiders" because the pages are "fused together". I was ready to laugh in her face. Does anyone know of problems with CF and Search Engine spiders? She wants us to generate an alternative site that is static. ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
