Spidering URL's?

[cgo85]

Would an SE spider and index a URL like this:
/ca-city.php?realtor=Sutter+Creek

I'm pretty sure that they would but I just want to make sure before I waste alot of time.

The only thing that is a problem is when there is a session ID or other identifier within the URL. That should be fine. If it was me, though, I'd do a little mod rewrite to make it /ca-city.htm/realtor/Sutter+Creek

definetly agree with using mod rewrite

Find the .htaccess file and start modifying.

Can be tricky and a bit overwhelming at first.

I simply looked at the .htaccess files for free scripts out there like cpDynaLinks and made changes to my site.

Have fun!

yeah the htaccess thing is over my head right now... I'm going to put sometime into this tomorrow. Just in case, does anyone know a htaccess that would do nevetS is saying i should?

k... i tried using this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z][a-z])-realtor_(.*)\.html$ /([a-z][a-z])-city.php?realtor=$1 [L]

but i get either a 403 error or a page cannot be found error
