However, Welcome is not able to change the content of your outgoing pages.Thus the solution to have full robot access to an entire dynamic site, my users do the following aproach:Their dynamic pages contain links that are friendly. This may seem to be a little bit of work, because you have to make sure that WebCatalog will not output any non-friendly links inside the page.So, your pages have links that will normally (without Welcome) not work, but if you use Welcome to change any of these urls back to the ?$ version before the server gets them, you can totally hide these bad urls from the outside world.Finally, you can submit friendly (and normally not working) urls to all robots that you like.I am not very familiar with WebCatalog and thus I don't know how difficult it is to make pages with non-? or $ links in them without turning WebCatalog inside out, but at least I can tell you that converting the URLs with Welcome will add almost no time to hit processing and will not make your server slower and this is the major advantage of this approach.BTW: Using Welcome's rules will even enable you to do other neat tricks like:- using WebCatalog from several virtual hosts as it would be installed in each virtual hosts root - hide other implementation details - prevent hijacking or block specific referers - create a temporary under construction page while you update the site for every user that access the updated pages of your site (not only for the home page but, thanks to Rules, for a bunch of pages too)Sorry for this advertising style mail, but if anybody likes to know more about Welcome and it's combination with WebCatalog, please join the mailing list at
