HI Chris, Ed and All...If using modrewrite or SSi (PageBomb), the engines will see and treat the pages as static html pages.
Unless you are linking directly to Fatty results, and use SSI or modrewrite, the engines will never see "fatbomb".
To check the above, view the source code...What you see in the source is the same as the engines see.
Benefits of each:
Dynamic (modrewrite/SSI)
-If you update fatty resources, all pages updated instantly.
-No need to download/upload pages
-Mods made in Fatty skins affect all pages instantly.
-Create pages just by linking
Convert to static using HTTRACK
- use less server resources/load faster
- can edit each page indivually
- can be moved to other directories or other domains to make use of cheap/free hosting
- Don't need Fatty installed (once page is created)
In general, have one dynamic fatty per major niche, then create static pages for each sub-niche/other domains.
