getting hits on search engines

[230173]

How can I make sure that my database entries in my asp forms get recognised on the search engines. In other words:
I want to get hits on search engines from records that are show on my asp page.

on my site:

http://www.dreun.be

al the data comes from a ms access database.

if its text and can be reached with a browser and a click on it, then the spiders should pick it up ...

I did some research some time ago regarding this subject.
Search engines don't follow the links with "?"

.asp, .htm & .php - doesn't matter for them

there are several methods of fooling SEs
The most common is using your custom error 404.asp page.
for example:
instead of the URL - products.asp?cat=3&color=blue
you use construct your URL this way
blue/3/products.html
because none of this exists IIS will call your 404.asp page
in your 404.asp page you transform blue/3/products.html request to products.asp?cat=3&color=blue and re-direct to it

I know many top rated asp sites that use similar techniques with 404 error
one of them consists of 3 asp pages only but Google listed ~ 500 pages with .htm extensions

Everything is found through the "page is not found"

Hi martiros,

I don't think I can follow.

You need to get rid off "?" in your URLs
Your normal link would be like this:

http://www.site.com?id=3

it goes like this:
-SE robot comes, sees your link

http://www.site.com/id=3

and follows it
-but directory id=3 does not exist so
-IIS triggers your error 404.asp page
-in 404.asp page you put your code for conditional redirection
-you can simply use a replace function to replace "/" with "?"
-SE is redirected to a normal page but in the URL address window it is still

http://www.site.com/id=3

and
