<p>Sorry, this is a little off-topic, and not completely original, but interesting (at least to me) nonetheless.</p>
<p>I've done something similar to this: make a dynamic site appear static for the purpose of search engine indexing.</p>
<p>The way I did it was with the creation of each item, output an SSI statement into a file with proper parameters to call the dynamic content: <br>Example:
I have a directory called "/redir/" that has all my SSI files in it. Each file is tiny, and looks something like this:<br><code><!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/process.pl?action=viewitem&id=97"--></code> Then each link on my site calls this SSI directive with the name "/redir/97.html". All the links look static but are created when requested because of the SSI trickery.</p>
<p>The "caught in an infinite indexing loop" is important to think about, I don't know how it would be handled on the perlmonks site.</p>
<p>Obviously google does index some dynamic content, as evidenced by jeffa's search above. Do we know how google decides what dynamic content to index? This whole point may be moot.</p>
