Can the Search Engine Spider Find us if we use Jump.cgi or a direct link?
Does anyone know if the search engines spiders can find/list us if we use Jump.cgi? in our links as opposed to using a direct link to our detail pages.
I thought of this question when I visited http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/resources/Links/Sites_In_Action/Version_2.x/
and looked at a project at:
http://www.matineemag.com/television/
that was similar to a project I am using the Resource Templates for. My question is this:
Would the search engine spiders give us a better listing if we used a direct link to this:
http://www.matineemag.com/articles/41.html
Rather than this method:
http://www.matineemag.com/jump.cgi?ID=41

Thanks,
TimRyan
