I've now changed my php.ini settings and am no longer getting session ids in the URL - thanks once again for the help
However, google is still only indexing the home page and doesnt appear to be following any links - it last indexed my site after i made the change to php.ini
I have <meta name="robots" content="ALL"> on all the pages, which if i undertstand it correctly should cause google to index my site (i got this from http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/meta-user.html) but it doesnt appear to be working
The site is http://www.carrotland.co.uk and there isnt any javascript used for navigation - I tried it out with javascript disabled and it worked fine.
Google re-indexed it again last night but it still only appears to have looked at the home page.
The following link will let you know what pages from the site are in the google index - http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.carrotland.co.uk+inurl:www.carrotland.co.uk
It may take a couple of days or weeks for google to "find" the links now you have gotten rid of the session info from the URL and then a couple more for them to actually appear in the search results.
The only thing I'd be wary of is that the links contain index.php followed by the page reference. We run our sites with the apache rewrite rule which eliminates this and I'm not sure how google handles these types of links. I would have though they would be OK.
I've made the change and the site appears to work exactly as before exceot that index.php isnt shown any more, so its just a case of waiting for another visit from the googlebot.
Thanks once again
