You could try instead of doing "page.cfm?ID=X" doing "page.cfm/ID/X" or
"page.cfm/X/". The code for page.cfm would use a listGetAt function with
the list being cgi.path_info and the delimiter being "/" to get the ID
variable out. This will cause search engines to follow every link and
catalogue each unique ID as a different page. Hope that helps.
