A Web address converter 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.
