Should I create individual html pages for my php profile pages?

    My website currently has profile pages for each member written in PHP. These pages are not currently indexed by search engines so my question is what would be the best way to include them so they are indexed?

    My current structure is I pass a users ID to a view_profile.php page to render the page but this obviosuly won't get indexed by search engines.

    Do I create a static *.html page for each ID and redirect it to the view_profile.php page?

    Any thoughts how best to get all my profiles indexed in search engines?

    Thanks,
    -Paul

    Changing them to html from php won't make a difference. There are other factors at work. Did you check the robots.txt file for example?

    Here are the contents of the robots.txt file:

    User-agent: *
    Allow: /

    Should I add something so they get indexed?
