Solutions for Dynamic Website Ranking - What is going wrong?

(Page 2 of 5 )

Many programmers of database driven websites make the following complaint: “I can develop dynamic websites with efficiency. But why are my website's average views only 10 per day? Even my partner has static websites but 10,000 views per day.” This is a simple question I have heard from many programmers. The reason is that your partner spends some time optimizing code and thinking about search engine ranking. Static websites can rank higher than dynamic websites.

What is going wrong? Please notice these URLs:

2. http://www.mysite.com/products/category.asp?cid=4
3. http://www.mysite.com/products/category.asp?cid=60

These web pages show you the product lines from the database. They simply change the query string (category id), and a separate page opens, with the corresponding product. That’s great because only one page is handling all the products. It is easy and cheap to develop. What's wrong with this approach? You lost three pages of content by re-using one. This makes it easy on the developer, but does not give you a good website ranking.
