IMO, there is only one search engine that matters anymore and it's Google. They clearly index CF sites since they have 17,600,000 of them listed when you search for .cfm
http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=%2B.cfm IMO, the people your client hired are idiots and really don't know up from down. IMO, Search engine safe URL's are pretty much a thing of the past. Almost all bots index pages with query strings.. Of course it's not a bad idea to use SES URL's if you can. In regards to creating a static site, that's more work for you. It shouldn't be too hard either using CFHTTP and saving the files to disk. - JD -----Original Message----- From: Chad Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 1:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Spiders and Cold Fusion One of out clients has hired an Internet Marketing company to help get them more hits. I just got a call from one of their reps, and they were trying to tell me "Cold Fusion will not work with search engine spiders" because the pages are "fused together". I was ready to laugh in her face. Does anyone know of problems with CF and Search Engine spiders? She wants us to generate an alternative site that is static. ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
