For good articles on SEO and to keep up with what is going on in the search engine world I've found the following site to be very useful.
http://www.webpronews.com/ Also this might provide some insight on dynamic pages: http://www.webmarketingplus.co.uk/seo_positioning/problem_sites/ http://www.devwebpro.com/devwebpro-39-20030606SearchEngineFriendlyPHPPages.h tml http://www.synthium.net/search_engine_optimization.php The general consensus is that search engines like to see directory names instead of variables being passed. They also like pages that appear as static content with htm and html extensions. Something to do with that being more reliable content and more likely to be there after being crawled. SEO is a very sticky wicket and is changing everyday. My suggestion is try to keep up with the changes. With all of the desktop searching apps that are coming out search technologies are going to bubble to the top of peoples attention. They are going to start asking us how it applies to the websites that we build for them. Hiring an SEO company isn't for everyone but in some instances they can increase your revenue a great deal. I have seen it happen several times. Do an evaluation not just of your log files and stats but also what the value of increased traffic means in dollars. One last thing, there are usually many different ways to do the same thing. As long as you are meeting your client\boss's expectations there is no right or wrong way to do it.
