What is considered dynamic and what sort of bias does google haveagainst it

[John Rigler]

If google has a specific bias against cataloging dynamic pages, then I
am interested in creating dynamic pages that appear to be static. Some
examples that come to mind would be:

1. [url]http://site.com/page.php/3.html[/url]
2. [url]http://site.com/page.php/3[/url]

Do either of these have a better chance of getting cataloged than:

3. [url]http://site.com/page.php?id=3[/url]

I have seen examples of #2 and #3 cataloged, although google literature
seems to discourage 'dynamic content'. What specifically does this mean:

1. Reasons your site may not be included.

* Your pages are dynamically generated. We are able to index
dynamically generated pages. However, because our web crawler can easily
overwhelm and crash sites serving dynamic content, we limit the amount
of dynamic pages we index.

Take a look at apache's mod_rewrite.

It basically lets you use urls like [url]http://www.example.org/script/1[/url], and
remaps them internally to [url]http://www.example.org/script.php?q=1[/url], so
dynamic content appears static.

But, it *IS* rather hard to configure correctly, but it is *VERY* useful
once you tame the wee beast.
