Hi, guitarslinger. Welcome to Webmasterworld! The main ecommerce site I work on is a database driven site made in cold fushion. It does very well in the search engines:)

Two things to keep in mind, from my experience. 1) Either use mod_rewrite or keep those variables at 2 at the most in the url. All of our pages have been indexed and we do not use mod_rewrite, but there are no more than 2 variables. I''ve read in this forum several times (and I'm pretty sure Google_Guy has said) that Google has no problems indexing urls that have 2 or less variables.

2) You still gotta build static pages! The main *problem* I've found with dynamic sites is lack of PageRank. Build a few static/content pages a week to keep building up your PR.
