[thelist] Searchable dynamic content

Bill,

Ok... are we talking about news.php as the same page name as before? If I go
to Goolge, and type in 'north country public radio', I get a bunch of pages
for your site, one of them being /news.php - so it does seem to be in their
index... and, if I click on 'cached page', it comes up looking all complete
'n all...

The date at the top of the page says December 6, 2001 - different than the
date on the actual news page.  Is this what you're talking about?  Was the
one that is indexed by Google dynamic as well (I sort of assume it is, if
it's got a .php extension)?

I think I'm mostly talking it out, to see if I'm maybe missing something
here.

Some thoughts:
- If the one that is indexed currently with Google _is_ in fact dynamic,
then I guess just wait until googlebot stops by for tea and crumpets
again...

- If the old page indexed with Google is not dynamic, and Google doesn't
seem to be indexing the new site, and there are no other web sites on the
planet that are linking to your site (that's a depressing thought) I suppose
somehow you might have been removed from their crawl list....?
    - If that's the case, submit your URL to them to have it included in the
      next crawl...

- A couple of other indirect ways to get listed and ranked higher are to
ensure that the link to your site gets put on other sites... also Yahoo and
DMOZ share their links with Google.

Aaaaaanyway.  These are all off the top of my head, and prolly full of
holes.  Hope it helps...

Chris.
