Nah, it shows that you are using Java. Much more sophisticated! > Where did you get that 0.5% statistic? Regardless, my users won't see ANY > url if my site is on the 50th page of the search. That's the important > issue here. I made the 0.5% statistic up. Developers are notoriously anal about URL's where John and Jane Doe typically just use the google search box as their URL bar. Did you ever look at the URLs of Amazon? they are not pretty, and you'd need to have a very weird jsessionid to overthrow Amazon's URL scheme on the ugly scale. Where's the proof that Google punishes you for having a jsessionid in the URL? >> I think you need to give the google engineers *some* credit.
