Dynamic URLs

Dynamic URLs are web addresses for dynamic pages and dynamic content, where the web server runs a program that queries databases and other sources of information and then constructs and serves the HTML code. The URLs for these dynamic pages usually contain information for the automatic program that generates the pages. Looking at the URL any keyword which follows a question mark (?) is a parameter for the program. Generally, spiders crawl dynamic URLs in a limited way; search engine crawlers much prefer friendly URLs that can be relied on to represent specific content.
