Hey, did anyone else find that Ben's reply to the note below was not shown in the body of the message but instead in an attachment that you had to open? I've never seen that before. I only noticed it because the "autopreview" feature in Outlook showed the first few lines being:   ---- As per the search engine finding dynamice pages. What if you had a 200 member directory system where each account was referenced by ".../index.cfm?accountID=54" ? -----   But when I opened the email, all I saw was Gustavo's previous note that he (Ben) was replying to. Indeed, if you look below you'll see that the note says the From is "On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]", but the note text is Gustavo's comment about "major search engines". In case you missed it, here was what Ben had written:   ----  A search engine is not going to find all the accounts, unless there are specific links to them in your site.   I read somehere that the best thing to do is create a 'shadow index' (or some term) where by one page would house all the static links to your accounts so that an engine would index each account (54 to 2000 or whatever.   I would like to hear if anyone has used such a scheme or tell us what has worked for you?   Ben ----   Curious. Anyone know how that might happen?     /charlie   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 4:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: [CFTALKTor] CFUN 2K major search engine spiders (google,altavista, etc.) do not have a problem with query strings.   gustavo ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [CFTALKTor] CFUN 2K Hi Erik   Take a look here.   http://cfhub.com/contributions/SES/   Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Fenkell To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 12:15 PM Subject: [CFTALKTor] CFUN 2K Hey Everybody,   2 questions:   1- I would like any advice on search engine optimization for dynamic webpages. I know that engines have trouble indexing links with '?' in them ie. index.cfm?fuseaction=pleaseindexme. Are there any custom tags or processes to help solve this problem ie. making links look like directories instead of url variables. or anything else.     2 - Is anybody driving down to  CFUN 2K that might want someone to share expenses with?   Thanks a bunch!
