I don't know how this all works, but I see the urls on the homepage
like say the "features" link on the right.
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/features I assume would be
http://farcry.daemon.com.au?go=features without the friendlyURLs
correct? But then from the features page the link
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/index.cfm?objectid=403F15D0-1033-B4BD-31CCC4
40436CEA09 isn't "friendly". Is it not necessary to go that deep? I
guess for search engines it may not be necessary, but maybe web stats
would be.

For what its worth, if you use the FriendlyURL servlet developed by
Spike (http://www.spike.org.uk/go/friendly-urls) you get the following
answers:
** Does using SES make web stats work better?
Yes, absolutely. Your logs are populated with entries that for all
intensive purposes are identical to users accessing flat pages. That
means that pretty much any standard log analysing tool will work without
modification. (Many stats package fall down badly with dynamic params).
** Does your Google ranking improve?
Yes, without doubt. Although dynamic urls are indexed to a degree by
Google it is picky about the type of URL params it uses to dsistinguish
pages -- there are no details so don't ask. The most significant
improvement is that google puts emphasis on the keywords it finds in the
URL. With this method you get keywords in the URL that bump up your
ranking nicely.
We've integrated FriendlyURL servlet directly into the FarCry CMS
Opensource -- it works like a charm, is cross platform and cross
webserver. If you want to see it in action see the URLs at
