I don't think so, but I could be wrong. In BlogCFC, every entry in your blog is accessible with two URLs, one SEO and one not. I'd assume that Ray knew what he was doing when he did that, and wouldn't have penalized people's blogs. But it could be something that he's not aware of, I guess. > #2. In your opinion, just how much benefit is there to using SEO URLs? In my experience, SES URLs are very important if you care about page rank. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but search engines rank sites high that have the search terms in their URL. For example, on my blog I have an entry that describes a JavaScript isNumeric function I built. This page is #2 in the search results for that term on both Google and Yahoo. It is also the most highly trafficked page on my blog (not counting RSS, of course). -- My Sites: http://www.techfeed.net/blog/ http://www.cfquickdocs.com/ http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
