This question may have been posed before so please pardon the repetition. How many of you have utilized a service similar to<edited>, where an SEO provider re-creates a static version of a dynamically generated website?
Is this something the engines approve of?
I’ve seen incidents where both the static and dynamic version was indexed by Google, with little to no difference in template design or content. The only notable difference was the URL string.
Example:
The same product page is indexed in Google under the following URLs:
product_detail.jsp?ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023689&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302025632&PRODUCT%3C%
&
Product/mywidget.asp
Although Google and the other major engines have not weighed in on this subject, I am curious to know what the general consensus is.
