No one can tell if a page is dynamic or static, unless you have a URL like
http://foo.com/cgi-bin/hello.pl or http://foo.com/map?id=4343.

Some search engines ignore links w/ any GET variables, such as the latter
example, but given the amount of session IDs, etc., being passed around,
many do index these pages.
