    Default Static URL and Dyanmic URL

    In search engine optimization articles i found that that "making you dynamic URL static, there is better chance that your page indexed more efficiently. So whats does this mean. But google claims that they have no problem with indexing dynamic URL

    it does make it easier for search engines to index your site because some php based sites place sessions in url that are always changing. Now if search engine spider comes along and tries to index a page with the session, it will prob confuse google next time when they try to visit the same page with different session in url. HTML page never have this problem but php/mysql scripts should utilize static url to make it easier for search engines to recognize url. Just look at Profuse Host forum and you can see they are using static url that are search engine friendly.

    Also, if you look at search engine results, you will notice that Google highlights keywords in title, description and sometimes even in the url. Another reason to have search engine friendly url.

    Default Dynamic url means

    When Google is talking about dynamic urls what they mean is something like this.

    http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?articleid=29003

    Google will be able to crawl a url like the one shown above. Your webpage will also get indexed. But if you are using sessions then you have the real problem.
    If you are using Apache server then use modrwrite and make the above url like this

    I got a working in google webmaster tools that "Search Engines have some difficutly in indexing dynamic urls". So I was working on modrewrite to convert my dynamic url. Atlast I did that. Now thinking of submitting this urls to google.

    A dynamic URL is a page address that results from the search of a database-driven web site or the URL of a web site that runs a script.
    A static URL on the other hand, is a URL that doesn't change, and doesn't have variable strings. It looks like this:

    So, a dynamic URL will change according to your arguments. Static will not. That is why it not recommended.

    But what is the good part is that we can use mod rewrite to make the dynamic urls static and none will get a idea of what is behind the scenes.

    Yes. mod rewrite is essentially good for dynamic URL's. Couple it with an updated site map and everything is smooth as butter.
