Google doesn't choke at all on dynamic pages. pages get ranked by keywords appearing on the page and even more importantly, the link text of links on other pages pointing to the page that's being indexed. in other words, if a lot of sites link to your page like so: google choke then a search for

Getting listed in search engines really is important. But in the vein of what you were talking about, people shouldn't really "worry" about it. Note: Getting listed in directories like Yahoo is way more important than having any search engine list you. You always receive a far more targeted user
