that URL may get ignored as it's a dynamic page (the ? tells the bots this).
I'd suggest a mod/isapi rewrite to adjust your URL to something like
www.domain.com/lang/fr
I'm not sure you need to submit once for each language (I would think not), but
just wanted to let
Well there are 2 options you can do. Do a subdomain for each language.
http://french.domain.com etc... , or just have a link with the flags of the
different countries so a user can choose a different language. The bots should
follow the links. I wouldn't worry too much about them not following
This may well start a big war here, but are dynamic URLs really a big
problem anymore for todays modern search engine? I have no evidence
either way, but it seems to me that they must have come up with some
kind of a workaround by now

Yep, Google indexes them pretty exactly the same as sites with SES
url's... which is why I'm glad I never bothered with the whole SES url
nonsense... A whole lot of hair-pulling for bupkiss. Plus if you want
SES url's, use mod rewrite or isapi rewrite. It's infinitely easier to
implement it there
Thanks for all the tips... it was my understanding too that search engines
play nice with URL vars - I'm not too sure why SES safe URLs are still
being talked about so often.
Also, just to be sure, I should translate all META keywords and descriptions
to each language, correct? You can have more
that URL may get ignored as it's a dynamic page
If it was so, almost all CF pages would be ignored.
What is ignored are pages called from forms, because they will certainly
cause an error
if no field are filled.
As far as there is a link from one language to another, both languages
should be
It is recommended to make each page including the meta tags be specfic to the
page's content. Do not spam the meta tags with a bunch of keywords. Just put
the main keywords and description to be things that describe the content of the
page.

Thus things like should work, but there may be a limit on how many
combinations are considered.
a href=www.adomain.com/catalog.cfm?item=0203color=red
As far as all the combinations are present in the page under the form of
a valid link.
I do not see why robots will ignore them.
