Have been spending a great deal of time over the last few weeks trying to find a good way (any way) of getting my dynamic content spidered. I've seen the few 3rd party options out there such as IISRewrite etc but am not at all happy that any of them are going to do the job properly.
I am running an ASP based e-commerce site on an IIS shared server. The product I am selling comes undo the heading of 8 main categories with around 4 to 6 sub categories under each main category which lead directly to the dynamic data. The number of main and sub-categories are going to remain pretty much unchanged due to the nature of the product regardless of how much the catalogue grows.
My only remaining idea is to forgo the need for dynamic URL's completely by making main category and sub category links non-dynamic (ie creating individual static pages for each) and extracting the dynamic data within the asp code on the resulting listing page itself. In other words there will be 8 X 6 (MAX) individual listings pages that will display the dynamic data without the need for dynamic URL's. As this is easy to do with Dreamweaver templates, I am hoping that it will also make it much easier to optimise the pages in terms of SEO as well.
Is there anybody who generally thinks this is a really bad idea or has any obvious info that I may have missed?
TIA
P.S. This was supposed to be a short message! My brain is so fried because of this issue!.....SORRY!
Any other ideas greatly appreciated!
