Hey Steve, Can you explain whether your method would have any negative effects on SEO?
The idea behind this is because i was redirecting with a 301 to tell google bots to index the new link for the page. By that i mean all index.cfm?pageid=8989 would now be indexed as /category/children_name and that way its good for SEO. Do you know if this affects SEO? Also, can you please send me a link for what you have done, maybe a good link that indicates ways of doing this correctly. Thanks so much for your help Regards, Rony On Jul 13, 1:05 pm, "Steve Onnis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If your doing it in IIS throught he error documents then it wont work.
