How do I not have sids in my URL but...

[Leeb2]

I have tried to read up on this on the forums but it is too confusing with all different views. I want to allow spiders to index my site, but I want to keep the sids out of the URLs that they index. Here are my session settings:

 

Force Cookie Use: False

Check SSL Session ID: True

Check User Agent: True

Check IP Address: False

Prevent Spider Sessions: True

Recreate Session: True

 

 

What do I set here in order to allow spiders to index my site, but keep the sids out of the URLs that they index? I use shared SSL and use the updated spider.txt.

Go to Contributions and look for the spiders.txt contribution. The basic osCommrce spiders.txt file is two years out of date and doesn't list many of the newer spiders - including MSN Bot and Yahoo Inktomi. The spiders.txt contribution is kept updated - it has one file with all the major spiders and another LARGE file with most of the minor ones too.

Yes, I have that spiders.txt installed. Will that prevent my site from being indexed with sids in the URLs?
