dynamic pages and google

Will we ever show up on google?

We are in the process of designing a new site which will be database driven. What I don't understand is how can googlebot index pages on the site if the pages are dynamically generated. How do we make sure googlebot can still find and index the site?

If the URL's contains parameters like view.asp?id=123 the site most likely will not be indexed by Google. There are ways arround this the most effectice being rewriting the URL's. Have a look at this thread:

A small part of my site uses urls with paramaters and google reads them with no problem.

From what I've picked up in the forums Googlebot will index dynamic pages as long as the pages aren't using a session id , such as a cart id, in the url. What I ended up doing with one site was to make some optimized static pages with text links to the dynamic pages to give the bot something to spider (just in case).

Here is an earlier discussion that is related: [webmasterworld.com...]

Google doesn't seem to have a problem indexing dynamic/asp content; searching for inurl:asp?id on Google finds about 1,790,000 results.
