Static site versus dynamic site!

Is it really deserve to have static site?

I am confused about if I should have to convert my dynamic site to HTML site, since some of unclean URLs are indexed by searches engines so I expect to from search engine to index more unclean URLs because it is just a timely manner issue.
Do you advice to convert my site to be static site, and what is the benefit that I will gain it?

Regards.

This is not an answer to your question, Etar, but really a related question. I too am still unsure about dynamic sites and if they are really being crawled.

HTML sites get crawled quickly, but on some small (read: have few pages) dynamically created sites that I've seen, the pages with static URLS are crawled and the pages with URLS containing variables do not get crawled. Or atleast it is much.. more ... slow.

For example, a page called www.somedomain.com/4a_tips.php?topic=news_btips has not been crawled where as another page on the same site called www.somedomain.com/4a_testimonials.php has been crawled.

I keep reading from other posters that dynamic sites with only one variable in the URL should be crawled by Google, so why haven't these pages been crawled?

The site is only PR3. Does that have something to do with it?

Also, I have seen dynamically created pages with variables get crawled, but they never often have PR0. Anyone know why that is?

Thank you!
