& in URL
From what I have read so far in these forums, it seems that I need not worry myself too much about Alexa spiders and their ranking.  :
I noticed that Alexa truncates URLs that have & in them and so when they return to these URLs they cause errors (not all of the variables are available). Some may ask why I have forced the URLs to use & instead of plain ol &and the answer is for W3C XHTML validation. I am almost certain that it is the semi-colon causes the error. Funny, no other spider has this problem?!
Has anyone else noticed this? I think that they need to improve their spider capabilities / powers!
