Hello solution makers! ;-)
Can anyone here point me in the right direction for a solution to this situation?...
I have a site (see profile), that is done in .NET (aspx) that has most all the important pages used for geographic marketing in a dynamic environment. See the Wedding or Airport links at the bottom of the homepage and then click a state page. All the state and city pages are dynamic in nature, but now have static URL appearances hoping it would make it easier for Googlebot to crawl. All the "static" pages of the site (about 20+ pages or so), have been indexed. But we really need all those state and city pages for the Wedding, Airport and Hummer sections to be indexed since they are the ones that will bring home the site objective, (which is to generate leads for the limo industry).
Sorry to be so long here, but please bear with me.... I created a completely static page (of one of these interior pages) as a test and named it .html and it got indexed fine. I suspect Googlebot is still able to identify the .aspx pages as dynamic even with friendly URL strings. I don't want to have to manage 3,000 static html pages individually and that is why I had the site coverted to aspx, thinking the friendlier URL's (without dynamic variables) would get all the pages indexed. So here's the question... Is there a software out there that can take the output results of dynamic .aspx pages and create a static equivalent without me having to actually update each static page? So let's say I have 3000 aspx pages and I change the database content variables on 600 of them...I want to be able to bulk update the 600 static equivalents using the dynamic pages' output.
Is there such an animal that manages bulk updates like this?
Mod rewrite is not an option since the host doesn't allow 3rd party software on shared servers.
Thanks in advance for the insightful responses I always seem to get from this group and I'll look for your feedback.
Dave

You can use 404 error method. You don't need any software to do that. Write a aspx page to handle the error and set it as your default 404 error handling page.

Hey Dinkar,
Thanks for the reply, but not sure if I understand how that helps.

It will help you in two ways:
1. You can create search engine friendly URLs like: http://www.yoursite.com/state/city.htm
2. No need to maintain thousands of HTML pages. All you need is one more few dynamic scripts depends upon your need. And You already have those scripts. What you need is - 1. write 404 error handling script, which will parse the URL and handover control to the related script to proceed further. 2. Little modifications to your current scripts.
