My internal pages have been PR0'd apparently because the urls are dynamic. Here is my discovery...

My main domain is PR7: www.mysite.com
With "/default.asp?" added it is PR0: www.mysite.com/default.asp?

Since my site is created with WYSIWYG editor on a host that uses dyanmic urls, the "default.asp?" appears on all internal pages. Therefore, Google sees them as "subpages" to www.mysite.com/default.asp? and has subsequently pr0 them too.

All of the internal pages have this format:
www.mysite.com/default.asp?S=AC3&Document=SomeFile

What I discovered is, if I replace the "default.asp?S=AC3&" with a questionmark, the destination is still the same, but the PR is the same as the top page (PR7)...which tells me that Google sees the new format as part of the main domain (www.mysite.com).

My question is: is this a legitimate format for a URL? I have never seen it before and I am not sure about semantics or consequences:

New format:
www.mysite.com/?document=SomeFile

I could use some help on this, but it if it is confusing, let me know so I can clarify.
Thanks!

You're not confusing but you do need to do a bit of research first. :)

Do some searches here for the terms mod rewrite and htaccess and read, read, read. Prepare yourself for a rather important epiphany.
