Gday all,

Firstly just wanted to say how pyche dup i am to watch the new matrix heheheh....

Anyway - im nearly finished building a pretty huge site which was built entirely with css and php as well as templates.

What I wanted to know is, if I had urls like:

example.php
template.php?source=example.html (template url)
example.php?id=7
example.php?id=11

Can these dynamic urls be indexed by google?

If not, I heard theres a program out there which converts dynamic urls into static urls in realtime - any thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Josh

If you stick to 1 variable, don't use any session id's, and don't require cookies, those urls will work just fine :)

However, you can also use mod_rewrite (if available on your server) for apache to remake the urls:

eg, example.php?var=1

becomes example/var1/ or example/var/1

depending on how you set up the rewrite regular expression.
