Or if the cms is your own, adding a few miscellaneous strings in the url like you have written about for iis, is just as easy. With the JoJoCMS that SearchMasters is written in, each url is checked to see if it is the correct url before rendering. Its nice when you don't have to think too hard because the CMS is handling it all correctly. We came unstuck when we had to cater for the adwords tracking url's. Now that is a potential security hole for websites. But I assume that Google can handle those??? __utmz - in fact, there are a very small number cached in Google http://www.google.com/search?q=allinurl:+__utmz&hl=en&filter=0 - 44 in fact, of which several are the proper thing. Now is that a minefield waiting to explode?????

When I corrected the url's to have only one per page on vBulletin, plus did proper onpage SEO, rankings improved heaps (of course). But when I changed from string (one variable) to directory style url's, I noticed no change in rankings of traffic (since I had seo'ed the website so well apart from that one issue) - http://forum.time2dine.co.nz . Google is certainly able to spider string url's. But the rewritten/directory ones look heaps better, and give more information about the thread.

Rewriting to friendly URL's will help secure your system and can be index by a search engines. The Bad thing of using bad URL's is that most search engines will not index any pages that have a question mark or other character like an ampersand or equals sign in the URL. So all of those popular dynamic sites out there aren’t being indexed. What good is a site if no one can find it? Yip, a pretty good point.
