I don't believe google has a problem indexing fuseboxed sites at all. For
instance,
go to www.google.com and search on csxi. The second result on the list has
this caption.

www.csxi.com/content/index.cfm?fuseAction=eCommerce - 20k - Cached - Similar
pages

Notice it shows the full url path with the fuseAction. I didnt even use SES
on this site anywhere. Of course this is with google who's indexing
algorithm's are far more advanced than a lot of other search engines.
Just an observation.

Luke,
Short answer: Go to Google and search for "fuseaction".
Longer answer: The only issue is one shared by any dynamically-generated
site using query strings in the URL... some spiders won't follow your links.
Which is where SES (index.cfm/fuseaction/dothis/date/today) URLs come in.

The use of a static header won't prevent other pages from being indexed,
assuming that the bulk of content on a given page is unique. It wouldn't
hurt to generate META descriptions and TITLE tags on the fly, though, just
to increase the relevancy of search results.
