Hi I think search engines follow dynamic links so long as they are there to see. http://www.google.com/search?q=sm_red+compsol&btnG=Google+Search&hl=en&lr=&i e=UTF-8&oe=utf-8 for an example of one of mine. There was also an article on sitepoint about apache having aa address where it is of the form site.com/somefile/dynamicStuffHere where anything after somefile is dynamic parametrs..... cant remember much more, sorry... any Apche experts out there?

I've been building web sites that use a database backend for some time now. I typically use the format. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=contact http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=home http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=aboutus etc.... My most recent job wants to use differnt pages, so the search engines will pick up the url's as clearly defined, and not dynamic, as I normally do... They way id do things is great (normally) as it allows the Admin person to add as many pages as they like, without having to pay me to create it for them. But now if my most recent client wants to create a new page, I'll have to do it for them... Is there a way I can still admin the pages, and allow my client to add/delete pages, but use static links , without '?page=home' etc... I hope I've made sence... I've discused this with my client, and he said a friend of his claimed 'that webserver software should have a module or plugin that will do this' I've never heard of that, have I been living under a rock? ********************************************************************* The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
