Google & aspx pages

[elektra]

I have launched my website a couple of weeks ago, and in order to improve the PR0 it currently has I have been working on getting some PR4+ site to link back to mine. Funny enough one of them turned me down saying that Google is banning aspx pages. Although they contain dynamic content most of the pages are no more than straight html.
Google indexed all the website last week on the monthly crawl but I don't seem to find them when I search for them.
Is it correct that Google doesn't like aspx pages?

Google likes aspx pages just fine. As long as they are clean URLs.

Your comment about clean urls got me wondering. I have seen several sites where the database pages include the "?id=" that end up having PR0. On the other hand a quick trip to MSN will show subpages that do have some PR (albeit much lower).

Question to the forum?

Is it that Google has diminished PR for dynamic pages because of the uncertainty of what the content will be? Are the below explanations correct?

The explanation for MSN would be that since the main page has a pr of 10, subpages would still have pr even in diminished PR rule (for asp/aspx pages).

The explanation for many other sites is if you start with a pr of 5 or 6 then the diminishment ends up being a zero.

If you are using session id's google (and other search engines) may have trouble indexing your page. Otherwise there is no 'real' penalty. I have many pages that are effectively only 1 page, differentiated simply by a different code:

mysite.com/page.asp?code=1
mysite.com/page.asp?code=2
mysite.com/page.asp?code=3

They all rank ok. They do seem to take longer to get indexed though.

Session ID's are different as it makes it look like a new, different page everytime.

MY URLS are clean but when performing a site: search on google it doesn't show them.
All the pages as they stand have PR0, would it have anything to do with the fact that they are all .aspx pages?
I now have two PR5 sites linking back. How long from indexing by Google does it normally take to get any PR?

PR Toolbar Updates are seperate to the real PR. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't have PR in the Algo. As for when you'll be able to see it- Bury a potatoe in the back yard under a full moon, the number of leaves it sprouts will tell you your answer. (This applies to most things when it comes to Google :D ) (I like Google just mucking around.)

Elektra,

If your pages are not showing in a site search even though you have been crawled you may be suffering for what people are calling the google 'sandbox'.

I can assure you .aspx are indexed by google (just do a search for .aspx), they are certainly not going to ban a type of file extension.

I have many sites using aspx, no difference in performance than any other pages.

How do I overcome this so called Google 'sandbox'?

How do I overcome this so called Google 'sandbox'?

If there is this sandbox, it's really just a waiting game. Google appears to be holding off publishing new pages and sites for a period of time after it has indexed them. It is believed to be an anti-spam device.

I am only suggesting this is a possibility for your site and that .aspx is nothing to do with it.

Are those pages listed in any other Search Engine?

[elektra]

It is listed in msn as well. Why?

I have had visits from Google and Msn most days after the monthly crawl.
