SEO w/ CF question

[webmigit]

SEO/M/P = Search Engine Optimization, Marketing, Positioning...

Anyway.. Tek-tips has a forum for this but it is quite dead.. so I'm hoping you guys'll field the question here..

I have a site with a referral structure:

mydomainname.com/ref1.cfm?refid=#UserID#

Well.. I've a chance to get a few prestigous links for the industry and I want to put them to good use... So I can't have them linking to dynamic urls.. or at least urls that look dynamic...

So.. I'm wanting to have a page...

mydomainname.com/seref.cfm/#username#

That's fine and dandy.. it CFLOCATES to ref1.cfm?refid=#AssociatedUserID# if there is a username and grabs a random referrer if not...

What will SEs do with the cflocate.. will they spider seref.cfm/#username# or will they skip it and ref1.cfm?refid=#AssociatedUserID#?

Thanks,
Tony Hicks Did I help?

For SES to work you will want to have all your internal links using the SES format.

Remember that CFLOCATION tags and the like are not part of the generated HTML so are invisible to web spiders.
