Dynamic Site Questions

Hi,

I am trying to optimize a dynamic site. (one level only and it is not very complicated)

On the analysis I found that although all the dynamic urls have been linked from the home page like the sitemap only but are not indexed in Google. Only 8 main level pages are indexed in Google. I think this is because of the reason that every link opens up in the new window. I talked to the client, and he is not ready to open them in the same window. Now if I make a site map and link all the urls there with link opening in the same window, link the sitemap from the home page and every page....will these be indexed in Google. Although I have heard that Google can spider the urls if there is a link from static page to these dynamic urls but I don't have much idea about it and hence I want to play safe.
Hence here is the idea I have thought and would like you to comment on it.

1. I will ask my tech to make a static sitemap called as sitemap.asp. Which will have all the links as the home page but opening in the same window.

2. I will then extract whole of this site from an extracter software so that for each and every page, I have a static page. Now i will optimise content of these static pages etc and then will link these page from the site map rather than those dynamic pages.

So this way google will come to my site map and then will crawl these all static pages ..what do you say. Please advice..interesting isn't it ..but is it unethical...?

thanks

What is the pagerank of your homepage. You need a PR of 4 or higher to get googlebot to crawl a dynamic page linked from it. Googlebot should have no problem indexing your dynamic links as long as your pages have high enough PR fot it to go further. I think a site map would be a good idea that is linked from the homepage. Make sure the link is a regular html link.

Hi,
I can see that my home page has a zero PR but my next page (asp/browse.asp) has a PR of 5. So i feel if i have sitemap link include in the top of my most of the pages then , it should get the spider in sitemap.htm page. But As spiders have a problem in indexing dynamic page, what I am thinking is to create a static page for all the dynamic pages and then optimise it and link them from the sitemap rather than linking the dynamic pages...

also do, you think opening up of the links in a new window is also causing the problem.
