>>I'm under the impression that bots (or just the Google bot?) don't "do" sessions at all, no?
No bot nor browser do session. Your application makes them. The problem with bots is that they do not keep session ids in cookies, the your application is creating a new session for every page, which can clog your server memory rapidly. The trick is to create very short sessions for bots so that they disappear rapidly. My scheme is just a bit different: I set a short session timeout by default, then comes my agent analyzer, and IF the visitor is assumed human, then I extend the session timeout to 2 hours. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319618 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
