You are correct. The normal understanding is that spider will not follow
any link with a "?" in it. There was a great article in CFDJ talking about
how to get around that and I see no reason why the same technique cannot be
applied to fusebox as well.

Oh, THAT article?!:) My manager read that particular article just as I was
making the case to extend my intranet Fusebox dev techniques to our company
web sites. But is it really a Fusebox issue or an issue with any site that
has query-string parameters being passed? Anyway, one way to get around it
is by creating links such as:
http://www.mysite.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/menu/id/23.htm
as opposed to the typical:
http://www.mysite.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=menu&id=23
Then you just parse out the string to get your variables. Supposedly the
search engines will index pages that apply this alternate linking
technique(unless you're using NT4 sp6). Personally, I can't tell you whether
it helps search engine placement or not and would like to know something
definitive.

Hello all,
Recent article in CFDJ says something about Fusebox not being able to handle
spidering as well. Has anyone gotten around this issue? If so, tell your
secrets... ;-)
(apologies if this was dicussed before... I'm on digest)
Thanks,
Stephanie
