Hi,
I have to use .aspx pages building my site and wonder does it matter for google SE whether my site is dynamic or static. If it does, is there any way to still use .aspx and avoid being downrated by google bots?
Static pages always do best, but dynamic sites do get spidered, just not as quickly. Also pages with query strings do not do as well, so keep the query strings short if possible.
I have a couple of sites where they are .Net based, and deliver dynamic content. I was concerned as I recycled default.aspx?pagename etc...
But if you use keywords in your directories and in the querystring that helps and most pages certainley have been indexed. As an experiment I recently launched a puzzle site with pure .htm pages. It has been live for nearly two months and has a number of relevant one way in bound links and Google hasn't looked at it yet.
I reckon .aspx are fine, only issue will be is if your competition is beating you and they are .htm then you would have to start to wonder...
Dynamic pages aren't unfriendly to spiders. They just don't get crawled as quickly. Here's why: When a dynamic page is generated, it requires alot more server resources than just serving a static page. The spiders know this. They don't want to overload your server and make it crash. So, the spiders tend to prefer static pages first, then they slowly crawl dynamic pages.
A good way around this is mod_rewrite. I found this site to be particularly helpful: Mod Rewrite
The forum is the best place to get help with mod rewrite trouble.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Dynamic pages won't get spidered any differently than static html pages. The only thing G doesn't want is more than two variables in the url. Their concern is getting stuck in an infinate loop caused by multiple url's leading the the same pages (IE session id's etc.). Another thing causing a problem is many dynamic pages offer the same page title, which causes indexing (namely supplemental or none at all) issues.

most of the pages on our site are .aspx ones, and they all have a good page rank. so no... i dont think there is any sort of penalty/problem with designing dynamically generated web pages

The problem is dynamic pages with query strings rank lower, but thay are spidered. I would just avoid long query strings.
