Hi Edward, A few things first:
1) Match keyword to actual words in the file: Not sure what you are talking about but if you are referring to Meta tag keyword data... this has been primarily outdated for several years now. Do SE's read meta data? Yes and no, but rest assured if you are trying to make it into top page indexes, meta data will do nothing to help bolster your rank. It's generally considered useless. 2) Doesn't the bots need to crawl the static pages: Bots can crawl dynamic pages with query strings in the URL. However, how deep they spider is still in question. If you can create static looking pages from dynamic content with URL re-writing you're much better off. Example: after a client came to me to help with their search engine marketing, we discovered only 200 of their 1500 products were being indexed. With url-writing we were able to get all 1500 into Google and Google continually spiders on a daily basis. 3) If you are concerned about search engine optimization for yourself, or a client, you need to either A) learn the ins and outs yourself (a lot of time and research) or work with a consultant to help you optimize code, pages, copy, links, etc. Good luck.
