Lots of dynamically-generated websites offer a good deal of content by changing variables in the URI string. It'd be neat if there was a way to index these pages as if they're a site.
An example is Myspace. Users aren't viewed by subdirectory or subdomain, but by a "friendID" variable, like this: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=28915943
The California Gas Prices website also has a similar structure, with URIs like this: http://www.californiagasprices.com/index.aspx?s=Y&fuel=A&area=SAN%20FRANCISCO
Now, these pages change enough on their own that it'd be nice to index them as a site rather than just pages in a site (so that they could be searched separately.)
Is this possible?
