hi michel

yes, you'll be okay in google

can't speak for other search engines, but don't sweat it

you could [gasp] take the unusual step of not having query strings in your
urls, but hey, that would require a fair bit of work at this point, i'm
guessing -- it involves using custom 404 logic, i think, and i have nfi (no
idea) how compatible that is with fusebox architectures

anyhow, the most important thing is who links to you

> Also, does anyone have any tips for increasing our ranking?

yes, there are only two rules --

   1. have good content
   2. don't try to trick the search engines

included in #2 is, sadly, the advice not to spend too much time tweaking
your keywords and description meta tags, because search engines are (led by
google) headed in the direction of totally ignoring them -- thanks to years
of meta tag spamming by so-called search engine specialists
