The fact the article is listed in the top spot when you search for the title confirms that. Even if you widen the phrase out to 'Debt Consolidation Mistakes' a different article from the same website is listed at number 3 (with a dynamic URL).
However if mean, when a dynamic URL is entered into Google's search box then the page will not be listed, I suppose you are correct, but other than for the webmaster investigation's this would play no role in SEO. |
I was referring to the post by Freetraff who questions why, when searching for the page when clicking the dynamic url in the address bar on the the page is not found.
If search engine(ok google as an example) is queried for a related phrase (keyword/keyphrase) of course it will produce an indexed page. However searching for that same page using a dynamic url will generally not work as the spider will not go past the query string ?
There is a technique to convert dynamic urls to plain html, and other methods to hide dynamic characters.
I will say there are some exemptions to the rule,for instance there are dynamic urls listed in some google databases, but never ones with "complicated" query strings.
