The other day I read an article that said that a lot of search engines will ignore parameters in URLs after the question mark. Google has indexed my message board just fine, and also the first page of most of my blogger index. I don't think it has indexed any of the other numbered pages in each letter, which constitute the vast majority of the blogs.

A while ago I used Apache URL rewriting to make the URL for the first page of each letter into a more search engine friendly format.

In a fit of brilliance, I went ahead and made every page use this nicer format. My hope is that the other pages will start to get included in search results. If they do, I should get a boost in traffic.

So let us all pray to the search engine gods, for them to spider more of the blogger index. Amen.
