How can I specify a URL range?

eg. www.mysite.com/pageID=[1...1000]

I have a database driven dynamic site that is written in coldfusion. I would like create a mini site map.

My problem is that currently I have 1 page with over 1,000 URL extensions eg. www.mysite/mypage.cfm?pageID=1&ID=1. The only URL parameter that changes from one URL to next URL is ID=# ie. 1,2,3,...1000.

My question is whether it is possible to specify a URL range for robots: eg. www.mysite/mypage.cfm?pageID=1&ID=[1-1000] or something similar?

Does anybody have any experience with this?

This is not for navigational issues, purely for the robots to have a sitemap of my site.

Most helpful thing in the world for a situation like this is to rewrite the string commands.
For example:
mysite.com/shop.cfm?prodid=24&stID=3CPO
would become
mysite.com/shop.cfm/prodid/24/stID/3CPO

Google has a lot easier time getting this indexed. I have done this on my site and google indexed the entire site in a week, every single product I have. If you need a tutorial on how to do this in Cold Fusion just search for one or PM me because I currently have it installed on my site. Good luck!

Agreed! A search on "search engine friendly URL" will provide plenty of "how to" information.

would this work on windows server?

I thought I needed Apache server for this?

If you know how to do this, could you sticky me pls?
