Herein is described an implementation of a Web address converter, which
helps dynamic Web sites get the attention of spiders of Internet search
engines. With the Web address converter, requests from Web browsers using
static addresses access corresponding dynamic Web pages and requests from
search engines generate an instance of a Web page having links with
static addresses pointing to corresponding dynamic Web pages. The Web
address converter performs both Dynamic-to-Static (D-to-S) address
conversion and Static-to-Dynamic (S-to-D) address conversion. D-to-S
address conversion is done when generating a spider-friendly main page
for a spider of a search engine to crawl. S-to-D address conversion is
used when a browser uses a static address to access a corresponding
dynamic Web page. The static address that the browser uses was originally
created when the spider-friendly main page was generated.
