Very likely but most frameworks support basic SES URLs anyway like this: mysite.com/index.cfm/cat/cars/maker/bmw/style/x3 That works 'out of the box' with ColdBox and FW/1 at least (and probably Fusebox, I can't remember). I suspect MG and M2 can handle something like this with perhaps only a small extension. And I strongly suspect cfWheels supports this too. If you have a routes package (like ColdBox and, I think, cfWheels?), you could easily support: mysite.com/index.cfm/cars/bmw/x3 again, out of the box. If you want to eliminate /index.cfm, that's trivial with Apache (and reasonably easy with an IIS rewrite module). So there's nothing inherent about front controller frameworks that make them worse for SEO ranking. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340543 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
