I agree with your analysis. I guess at least with WebTrends, I can choose which query strings I want to call as pages.

When you think about it, this is probably the proper way to handle dynamic pages in general. It might not work well for your situation, but anything following the .aspx is just a querystring. It might be used to display a new page or it might be used to modify content on the current page. Without knowing what the intent of the parameters in the querystring, analysis programs can't determine if it should be counted as one page or separate pages. For quite a few of the sites we develop, the default categorization works great. If you need the deeper analysis of exactly what traffic the page with a particular querystring is receiving, then Urchin makes that easy by drilling down into the Page Query Terms as they call it.

It will not treat dynamic pages as pages. For example: www.domain.com/page.aspx&pageid=4 is not considered a page, and does not get a separate hit. www.domain.com.page.aspx does count as a page and does get a hit. There is a way to get the information for each pageID above, BUT you must run a separate report for each .aspx page AND it doensn't even tell you what the page is. You have to actually type the page into a browser to see what it is talking about. Bummer - this would have been a great product to jump to from WebTrends.
