Google considers a page to be "dynamic" if it has a query string. Read my blog entry about sidestepping this issue here:
http://www.chrispetersweb.com/blog/view.cfm/id/13 My blog entry actually just adds to ideas Ben Forta presented in a CFDJ article, but I never miss the chance to pimp my blog. :) - Chris Peters >Google says at http://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html that "We're able to >index dynamically generated pages. However, because our web crawler could >overwhelm and crash sites that serve dynamic content, we limit the number >of dynamic pages we index." This suggests that a site with a very large >number of pages would be better off using the .html file extension rather >than .cfm so as to not trigger any limitation by Google on its indexing and >thereby possibly improve search engine optimization.
