indexing of php pages created on the fly

[leoo24]

evening chaps :)

looked around and now have a query or two.
As far as i have seen only google and ink will spider/index pages that have a url like:
[localhost...]
,does that still stand?
I saw someone saying about how he had static html versions of the php pages stored on his server, i assume for spidering purposes, any comments on that.
Also is there any advice anyone has for what i can do with php pages created on the fly
cheers :)

good evening

Fast/AlltheWeb crawls my asp pages.

Added: Fast created a monster on AlltheSites for my dynamic pages. On one of my keyphrases, my dynamic pages for these widgets rank alone pages 1-5. Zero competitors for 5 pages! Note this is AlltheSites and do not get these results on ATW.

that's good news, and have they been indexed?

[skipfactor]

They are indexed on AlltheSites, but only the paid ones on Fast. Me thinks this thread is about to be moved...

Hi leoo24,

No need to store static pages on your server. Google, Inktomy and Fast are perfectly able to index dynamic URLs.
There's a limitation as far as Google in concerned: keep it short! No more than 2 parameters, and avoid using session IDs.
