Sorry but that is just flat out impossible, unless you are setting the variable which in turn has some sort of effect on the browsing experience. For example, if a page needs a particular variable in memory (like a postal code) to allow you to proceed through the checkout process. But you wouldn't want a cart checkout page to be spidered, anyway and would exclude that page in your robots.txt file. If you are seeing changes in rankings it has no bearing on when a variable is set. Its what you do with the variable value that matters. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
