---- Will Google Index CGI URLs?

:::But there's no boost for .php vs. .cgi vs. .asp vs. whatever.

That's weird. With a php message board, after I dumped the session IDs, BANG, indexed the site.

php= Main page --> Message board indexes --> Page 2 --> and so on, all get's indexed.

But on .cgi I don't see it get deepcrawled very far in.

cgi= Main page --> section index --> item page. Only goes two pages deep, to section index.

Are these bad cgi URLs?

Section: name.cgi?mode=videogames&id=541022
Item: name.cgi?item=B000084318&type=Search

I put them in .shtml using SSI to get them listed.
