    I just spidered my own site and I see that addresses have an encrypted code in them (See below).

    1. Why is this happening?
    2. How can I fix it?
    3. How bad is it from de SEO point of view?

    http://www.my-domain.com/(X(1)S(qtsn...)/default.aspx

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Contact your hosting provider.
    2. If you're using dynamic content, check your scripts carefully.
    3. May be the spider you're using is buggy itself :)

    Copy the above link into your browser and see if it renders a page. I would get this fixed if it is in fact happening (and NOT a bug in your crawler). You can download Xenu Link Sleuthe for free and crawl your site. It's a decent free crawler that's been around forever.

    Until you figure out why this is happening, you should use a canonical tag on all your pages just to make sure the SE's are indexing the right page.
