Sure, Google still indexes the pages, but the ranking algorithms place SES urls higher than the ugly IDs. It doesn't make much sense to me, particularly when you look at all the fake search result pages that are filled with text ads, but that get high ranks because of their SES URLs. But it's what the search engines do, regardless of how much sense it makes. But I think the biggest reason is that you can search for 'adobe', and since www.adobe.com happens to be owned by Adobe and is filled with Adobe content, it jumps to the top. ------- "EMF <idahopower.com>" made the following annotations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
