Dynamic Looking URL's

Where does Google stand with the "=" characters?

I know that Google spiders dynamic looking URL's but does not follow them as deep as a static URL.

But where does Google stand on the use of the "=" character in a URL? In other words, is /widget/colour=blue/size=L better than /cgi-bin/widget.cgi?colour=blue&size=L or would /widget/colour-blue/size-L be better?

I have an equal in my URL and all my pages are spidered.

Does anyone know if Google will spider URLs with "="s as deep as a normal URLs?

[ogletree]

Yes they will. My URL's look like

www.mydomain.com/?pane2=blah_blah

All my pages get spidered. I just added 10 new pages 3 days ago and google is spidering them right now. My changes get updated all the time. The important thing is to make changes and add new pages and you will get included and updated often. That goes for all sites.

We had a very good discussion on this some time ago:

Think it will help you, i can't really comment in your specific case with the "=" exactly how google treats it is very hard to know, i would suggest do some testing for to see how it gets indexed.
If you have a good link structure on your website the page should be indexed.

Also try doing searches where you specify that "=" should appear in the URL.
