if ur using IIS server then i can help u Dan Powderhill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Querystrings shouldn't affect search engines any longer as far as I'm aware. They certainly don't affect Google.
As for URL rewriting, it is possible to do it without using a component by using a custom error page. I have an article about doing it (I think on DevDex or something) - if you don't have any luck with your component let me know and I'll dig it out for you.

All database driven which rely on variables being passed via the search string eg..(? product_id=23). Recently my sites have been losing ranking on search engines. Apparently, I have been told, because of the query strings are affecting the spidering of the site. I understand that you cannot do a URL rewrite with ASP alone. But you need an additional component. Luckily I can install this on my server! I have found this: http://www.iismods.com/url-rewrite/documentation.htm Just wondering if this is the right type of thing and whether anyone has used this or similar before. Basically I am looking for a contact who might be able to help me apply this to my sites. Thanks. ________________________________ YAHOO!
