adam_gardner Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 hi all,first off, i'm really really sorry if this has been seen a thousand times ... but it seems like everyone has a differing opinion on this one.ok easiest way is to show you the page - www.lumoslighting.co.uk splits into two sub-sites - domestic.lumoslighting.co.uk and commercial.lumoslighting.co.uknow - if you browse to either sub-site, on first load, you'll notice the categories on the left all have session id's attached to them - these are needed for when a guest browses the site, adds stuff to cart and then goes to checkout (which requires registration, then products are carried with them)however, the search engines seem to have a problem with session ids (because of the potentially unlimited amount of urls they can spider) so they tend to leave them alone and not spider them. (apparently)my question(s) is/are this - 1. Do the search engines care about session ids? (please only a definitive answer)2. How can i get rid of them and still allow guests to have cart functionality? (i do not wish to use cookies - the site was developed like this and it will take major time / money to have it altered - not feasable.)3. the engines crawling this site is paramount - no rankings - no income. 4. does anyone have any good lighting sites that will link to us? :Pthanks for your time in replying!regards,Adam Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4177-session-ids-and-search-engines/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
