Hi gang:
I've read that php sessions can create problems for Google bots. For example, the following was
taken from a Google "Web Master Help" Center:
-- Quote --
Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through
the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern
of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your
site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same
page.

I've also seen a comment here:

But, I'm not following what's happening.
Can someone shed some light on this for me? How can one do sessions and make Google bots happy?
Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
