Re: Dynamic Pages and Google ???

I'm not an expert in this, but I suspect that some search engines will probably ignore URL's that look like this: /path/to/dynamic.php?arg=1&foo=bar because it sees the ? and knows that it's a dynamic result and perhaps very likely to change. I had always assumed that's why many sites (such as amazon) use urls like this instead: /path/to/dynamic.php/arg/1/foo/bar which don't have the ? so perhaps the engine does cache it? just my 2 cents. -philip In article <LFEJLAKGONAEACEMKOEGCEMICEAA.jshoberg@cbd.net> you write: > >So I was having a conversation with a manager/educator in the IT Industry :) > >In a discussion concerning search engines he stated how he dislikes dynamic >web pages (PHP/ASP/JSP/CFM) because search engine spiders 'choke' on dynamic >content or gives those pages a lower ranking.
