Using a database to dynamically create web pages makes for a much improved site in many ways. However, such URLs are not very search engine friendly. Search engines are much better at indexing static pages, and don't do a good job of following hyperlinks that contain query strings. The advantages of a dynamic site are overwhelmingly obvious--so what is to be done? With a little extra effort, you can create a dynamic site that is easily crawled by webbots. Discuss this Article!

News and Mail transfer require that a binary attachment is
"encoded" before it is sent. And they are "decoded" after they have been
received. Normally all this is done by your newsreader (or mail-program). You
dont see it. Most dont even know it. yEnc files are formatted in a coding
system that is up to 40% smaller than UUencode and Base64, and also include
error checking and multipart file support. This means that posts are smaller,
and take less time to download. Discuss this Article!

With a little bit of knowledge and a relatively small piece of software, we can provide a Web service for this type of interaction. Discuss this Article!
