Apparently Yahoo, and to a certain extent MSN, aren't as susceptable to this problem. Play up that angle..)

I think one of the reasons this affects google more than the other search engines is because google has done much deeper crawling of the web (I seem to remember some press last year about doubling the total pages indexed or something like that) so now that they're indexing the generated php scripts etc it's balooned the problem.

I read somewhere that search engines used to immediatly stop indexing a site when it ran across a 302. Interesting.

There has to be a solution, and I believe it will come with time, I just wish someone would tell us they are working on it.

On the other hand I think this whole 302 redirect thing may be a conspiracy to keep me from writing content. ;)
