Hello, I have a question about Google Search Engine. I am setting up a reciprocal link program, written using Perl, on my site but on it, it says:

Some Cons:
4. Some search engines may not follow/crawl dynamic pages (CGI).

I don't know much about the Google search engine but does this Con above apply to Google? Thanks

Use short URLs

?url=blah&site=blah


Use

/blah/blah/

yes. modrewrite can be used to create se-friendly urls

To answer your question, it depends. Google will crawl some CGIs, but alot of it depends on exactly what your URLs look like and how much PR you have. The more PR, the more lenient googlebot is.

Hmm... so then is there really a point to me adding a cgi reciprocal links program to my site if google wont "honor" it? Are there other reciprocal links programs out there that arent .cgi and google will honor it? Thanks
