Does Google index dynamic pages?

[jweighell]

My site has just started appearing in Google searches, it appears though that only my static pages have been indexed. I have a large range of products on my site and therefore, most pages are dynamic. It seems that it hasn't bothered to follow any links with a querystring (?id=10 etc).

Is it possible to get Google to follow one of these links? Or will I need to convert the pages into static pages?

change the querystring from id to something else. Although people have said it won't matter I had loads of pages with id= in it that google simply wouldn't visit. As soon as i changed it to something else it gobbled them all up.

Yeah, I think you could be right. I just looked at some of the URLs of pages appearing in a Google search, and there were definately some there with querystrings, but none with 'id' as a parameter.

Will I need to resubmit for it to re-index my site? Or is it just a case of waiting?

No need to resubmit since Google has already found the site. It visits sites regularly, so it will pick up the new URLs.

How regular is 'regular'?

No-one really knows these days since the death of the dance. Much quicker than it used to be though so it isn't all bad!

Could be a few days to a few weeks, just hold on in there!
