Max,
I don't necessarily want cfid/cftoken to be indexed by search engines.
However if I do want any kind of cookie-less session management on the site
then I MUST have cfid/cftoken combos on every form submit and url on the
site otherwise when a user clicks on a link or submits a form that doesn't
have the CFID/CFTOKEN combo in it we can't find their session. Or worse a
new CFID/CFTOKEN combo is assigned to them and I just lost their session
information. If you have cookies enabled it's no big deal. But a lot of
people are paranoid and I have to accomodate their needs which means sending
CFID/CFTOKEN on EVERY single url and form submit on the page.

So, just one question... why would you want your CFID/CFTOKEN to be indexed
by a search engine? Or for that matter why would you want it to show up in
traffic analysis reports? Seems like asking for trouble.
Cheers,
