Update - Chapter 10 - Google Confirms "id=" problem
In Chapter 10 we wrote that all engines had a problem indexing URL's using a string in their URL's that contained "ID="
On June 2nd GoogleGuy posted in WebmasterWorld that they have had problems with the "ID=" string in most commerce type URL's. The problem is that this ID is typically followed by a Session ID.
Our testing shows that a URL using an "ID=" code is ok IF you use less than 5 numbers of letters following the "=". Google has added this to their Webmaster Webmaster Guidelines http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html under the topic "Technical Guidelines.
