I've been doing a load of reading of how this is possible and now want the best resources to help me do this.

I have been looking at the XQASP Tool, which as you may be aware removes the "?".

Is this the way forward or is there a new bad boy on the block?

Thanks

The question mark is not the block, it is usually what follows. If you keep your query strings simple and limit the amount of parameters to one (best case) or two, you should be fine.

Is this for a new site, or fixing an existing problem?

Moved this to the dynamically generated site issues category.

BBB, you might want to browse through the other threads in this category as we've discussed this many, many times.

Hello Badboybart,
Today's search engines are indexing all sort of dynamic contents with even 5 parameters after the question mark, I am particularly interested in answering this thread because you said XQASP,
I love that tool as well as google, If you check the site in my signature we have used XQASP extensively,
This site sells 20,000 parts for lamborghini cars and we listed 25,000+ dynamically generated pages in google with the help of XQASP tool,
When it was a normal query string google indexed only around 400 pages but after using this tool we got all the parts pages indexed, This product is really worth but it will take one heck of a Job from you,
We worked almost 1 month on this site for implementing XQASP component for all the 20,000 parts,

VIJAY,

Now that's what I call a good answer, many thanks Vijay. I shall pass that one over to the boss to think about the time issue.

Again thanks....

(very bizarre just bought a present for my mate in IT called Vijay, it's a rear view mirror you place on your monitor to let you see who's creeping up behind you while you surf!!)

Google can index pages with "?" variables.

The less variables you pass this way the better.

Keep system generated variables, such as session or shopper ids off the url.
Google needs to be able to find the same page upon revisit.

The XQASP tool will make it easier to spider your site.
