the spiders all reach and index my root-level static files but don't seem to follow meta or js redirects (redirecting to such urls), nor follow any of the links!
thanks very much.

In this message [webmasterworld.com] GoogleGuy said that Google is getting better about crawling dynamic urls. But from membersī experience this seems to be true for pages with a high page rank only. Furthermore the higher the number of parameter in the URL the less likely will SEs spider your pages.
Your URIs seem to be rather long. I donīt think that they will be spidered.

Currently I'm checking a simple workaround, which I couldn't find on this site and may be worth mentioning: most SEs will not follow javascript or Meta refreshes. but seems that they will index a dynamic page when replied with a server redirection such as response.sendRedirect(url) (in JSP, or whatever the equivalent is in ASP). the redirection can be to a dynamic page that can otherwise only be reachable by a long url, so this may be the only way to get them to index these pages.
I'm studying this - and i have a feeling it works, at least for Google. I'll update you when i have more accurate results.
BTW i'm not sure this is the right forum for this discussion. maybe this thread should be moved.
