Key items for me:

1. Make sure that you have only one url per actual page. If more than one url (query variables) gives the same content, you can get into trouble.

2. If you do not rewrite the urls to "hide" the query string, then at least keep the number of variables as small as you can.

3. Do not use the character string "ID" within any variable name in the query string.

The big deal for spiders and dynamic websites is that they need to avoid "infinite" information spaces -- and IDs, which are often unique for each user, can be a prime trouble maker for serving up the same information time after time. So track users with cookies, not in the url. And even using cookies for tracking, still don't use "ID"in the query string, because it's a traditional warning sign for the spider.

I have implemented a fantastic product called Linkfreeze from a company in the Ukraine. It will turn a URL such as

www.site.com/default.asp?page=pagename&id=1234

into

www.site.com/default~page~pagename~id~1234.htm

It does this 'on-the-fly'. I have a site with 6000 visitors a day, heavy on graphics and database stuff, and it hasn't caused any memory problems or such in almost a year.

It is simple to install and manage, just a normal MS Snap-in on your ISAPI filters.

This is not a product plug as such, I have no connection to this company, it just really seems to be the only IIS product that does this type of URL rewriting (and it is damn fine).
