Session ID's in URL's: Will Google & others index?

Hi,

We have a new site up for our service that allows users to perform a Google web search via an SMS. We use session ID's in the URL to avoid the use of coockies. But We have heard a rumour that Search engine bots ignore sites with dynamic URL's? Anybody have any experience?

Thanks,

Nope..

If you can get your site to work with this then you have a fair chance of being spidered.

You could probs just give it a dose of mod_rewrite to get it to work.

It's not the fact that they are dynamic URLs that are the problem. Google et al can spider dynamic pages just fine. It is the session IDs that prevent them from doing so.

mod_rewrite is an apache server mod. If you are using asp and windows servers, there is a top notch ISAPI filter from a company called XQASP that will do the job just fine.
