A client has been speaking to someone who offers marketing services for web sites. They've recommended (i) altering query strings and (ii) renaming .cfm extensions to .html and configuring the web server to parse .html files
Couple of questions spring to mind... 1) I've used plainURL to convert the query string to index.cfm/SomethingID-1... is that good enough? He's recommended continuous slashes, like index.cfm/Something/1 (but if you do that it's a pain not having 2 delimiters). 2) They said that whilst some search engines didn't have a problem with .cfm file extensions, 6 out of the top 15 (I think they were the numbers quoted) did. AOL and HotBot were mentioned. I did searches for ".cfm" and "ColdFusion" on them and a stack of sites running ColdFusion appeared. Is he talking market-speak? (ie b*****ox). 3) The hosting is with CFXHosting on their $100pm advanced option. Does anyone here know if they would map .html files to ColdFusion for a specific folder (ie would altering the IIS mapping for .html be a server wide modification, or can you constrain it to a particular user folder and below only?)
