Hi
I have a site that generates new pages based on users filling out an online form but they are generated from a MS SQL database. The all end in?#*$!x
and the pages are dynamically generated from a template.

How do I mage the pages appear to the spiders (like google) as regular html pages? I have seen sites that do this but I can not figure it out. The pages I have now have no pr because they are dynamic (I think.)
The home page and static pages have pr.

Any advice on where to find out how to do this?

Thanks

Since the pages you generate are created for a specific user, based on a form, why do you even want them to be spidered?

The form page should be spidered, but who cares if the search engines can find the dynamic pages. They shouldn't anyway - they are dynamically created for a specific user.

Don't worry about it.

Clarification request. Is this like a build-your-own web page thing? Where users are actually creating content for their own webspace?

Actually each page will have its own
title and description and is a listing.
I would like them to have pr.

dotme: Yes this is similar. We are allowing them
to generate their own pages that are contained within
our site.

You need an URL rewrite solution

So why don't dynmanic pages with?#*$! ect
get pr passed to them? If we do url rewrites will
the pages get pr?

For example, pages in the format yoursite.com/user/123.htm (url rewritten) will be crawled a lot faster than pages in the format yoursite.com?user=123

Note: Even if you rewrite your urls, you still have to create links for them from other pages with PR.
