I am only sure where I get my facts from. My understanding, based on my own experience, is that this is not the case. My experience is backed by our own results with SEO. Among other things, Fig Leaf Software provides SEO services. Again, Google does not provide details about their page rank algorithms, and they change these algorithms pretty frequently. And again, in any case, if you want to achieve that outcome, you can just configure CF to process requests with .html in the URL pattern. > The argument against doing CF to do the URL rewriting is that > Apache is faster ... I am unwilling to waste my time in a pointless, inane argument with you about web servers, since when it comes to this subject you are, by any useful definition of the word, a troll. This is cf-talk, not web-server-talk. You seem to be drawn to every IIS configuration question like a moth to a flame. But that's your problem, not mine. Anyway, there are obvious arguments in favor of embedding that kind of functionality in an application: portability, easy programmatic modification, the ability to generate rewrite rules from a database query, etc, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
