Hi

If I have a dynamic index page displaying 10 products pulled from a database, each of the "Click for more info" links will point to product.cgi?id=123 etc...

However if I'm using Mod_Rewrite to have my dynamic pages appear as static, how can I get Google to view each of the dynamic links to my 10 products as static pages?

Will it request my 10 dynamic product pages from my Apache server and view them as static if they are returned in that way by the server (via Mod_Rewrite) even though the original links were dynamic?

Hope I haven't confused you too much?
Maybe I'm missing something :)

TIA
John

When you use modrewrite, your URL will look like this:

domain.com/products/123/

instead of domain.com/products.cgi?id=123

You will only link to domain.com/products/123/ and Google will pick up only the static link. There is no way to tell if the content of a static url is static or dynamic!
