Starec, I've been trying to get you some help, without much success so far. Perhaps you should try and mail Fast, they have been pretty responsive.

>>Is there some simple solution how to avoid this? Don't write session ID's in the url. :) A solution where the session ID is stored in a cookie works much better. The other option would be to check IP addresses before writing the session ID's to the URL. If a search engine IP is detected, the server simply serves the page without the ID. All IP's not on your list get the unique ID.

heini, Webguerilla, thanks a lot. Webguerilla, SIDs are passed by urls only when the user (like fastbot) does not accept cookies. Never thought I will have to cloak the urls one day:)

Don't think of it as cloaking. I can't imagine any search engine (even the anti-cloaking zealot, Google)having any problem with that approach. You are delivering the same page to both spider and human. You would be doing them a big favor. You could probably even handle it just using the UA.
