    What is generaly better for SEO, a static HTML page with plenty of content that don't change often atall or a dynamic page that is most likely to have changed alot since google last visited the site?

    By that I mean using a CMS system

    It makes NO difference WHATSOEVER. It's also stupid to assume that Google would prefer .html over .php, which makes no sense.

    i don’t think that extension name has an effect the important is the content, if it is static or dynamic

    Many pages have dynamic content, but rarely will you find pages that consist of content that is changing all the time. The only exceptions to this would be index page and portals. Your main content (for example, an article) may be dynamic in that it has to be fetched from a database, but the content will remain the same. Search engines will have no problem indexing this. At the end of the day a dynamic page should have exactly the same output as a static one, the only difference is that it's content is dynamic. If you have valid search engine friendly URL's then your page type is irrelevant.

    I’m much preferred optimizing a static site rather than a dynamic one…
