I remember reading this a long time ago. The article said that search engine
spiders could get lost in dynamic sites, because as we know potentially a
site could have thousands of links, so they didn't index anything with query
strings or non html sites. However I think if it was ever true, it certainly
isn't today. A quick search for ".cfm" returned 9.5 million hits even
"fuseaction" which according to his theory wouldn't return any results since
every single page on a Fusbox site has a query string returned 690,000 hits.
I'd be willing to bet that out of the top 20% of sites on the internet
(since they get the majority of the hits) well over half are dynamic these
days.
I hope he isn't paying this search engine guy a lot of money.
