Do you think it will improve search engine rankings (it won't) or do you just not want anyone to know you're running coldfusion (anyone who really wants to know can probably find out) Rick -- > CFMBB - Coldfusion Message Boards, Version 1.21 Now Available! > http://www.cfmbb.org ~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.

Re: Eliminating .cfm extensions in SES
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.

RE: Eliminating .cfm extensions in SES
Yes, you would need to use url rewriting, either through apache with mod_rewrite, one of the third party plugins for IIS, or a custom 404 handler for cf.
