[thelist] Spiders and ASP

HI Doug,

Generally, ASP documents are indexed, however if they contain URL query
strings (i.e.; a question mark) they are usually ignored completely.

You can write a simple function to allow you to use search-engine safe
URL's.  There's a custom-tag that does this in ColdFusion, we use it
extensively at:
http://acep.org

You can pick up the custom tag for free at Fusebox.org (a great site for
anyone serious about CF).
http://fusebox.org/files/formurl2attributes.zip

Even if you're not using CF, you can look at the tag in any text editor, and
the logic and language are very easy to understand.  If I remember
correctly, it's well-documented also.

Oh yeah, that tag does a whole bunch of stuff.. You can pick out the good
stuf pretty easy though.

Keep those tips up,


Seth
