Post or Get Method? Getting Dynamic Content Indexed

What should I use to get dynamic pages indexed

[Invoked]

Hi,

I'm starting to use php more now and I was wondering what kinds of pages would have a good chance of getting indexed. If I use the get method: [mydomain.com...] every query generates a unique url with unique content. Now if I use the post method every page is just [mydomain.com...] but still different content. Do the search engines penalize one method over the other? I'm thinking it might be better to use the get method.

Thanks,

I generally use the post method as it doesn't show the parameters in the url and as such it is more friendly. However, get is quicker and more generic to program. The choice is really yours and search engines that can crawl sites with querystring don't really care, for those that can't use post.

Thanks,

For some reason I was under the impression that query strings were penalized when it comes to crawlers.

It might be worth looking at the security aspects of using GET. Depending on number of variables you are sending across, the browser may also limit the method you end up using.

There's quite a lot of commentary available on the web about GET Security and it might be worth a quick read.

Good luck!
