The e-commerce.

Dumb question, probably, for you, but...what is

I visit this board almost nightly, because I always learn something new and usually tweak my website in some way because of it.

 

I've read a lot in recent nights about 'spider sessions'. Like....it's a bad thing to have spider sessions enabled, except.....I don't understand why.

 

Be a sweetheart and explain what the benefits are of disabling spider sessions. Is this a bandwidth issue? I just don't get it. :blush:

if spiders get session id's they can add to your cart and what is more of a problem,

your pages get indexed with the session id attached.

 

in google your page would look something like :

 

http://www.site.com.tw/index.php?cPath=21&...19c74c81949343a

 

that is a security risk and surely does not look inviting

Andrea - eventually, hopefully, you will have a 1,000 or more pages indexed by the search engines. This will greatly increase your chances of being found by potential customers. Now, if those links have a SID attached, it will be an invalid link because the SID is no longer valid. When that happens to me, I usually go elsewhere. See the problem?
