    I know there are a number of ways to create member profile pages on the internet.

    Which one would you say is the best?

    1. Personal page with its own url like site.com/members/bob.php
    //+ better for SEO cause more pages - more storage needed.

    2. Dynamic page like site.com/member.php?user=5132
    //+ less storage needed - not as good for SEO cause only one page

    3. You could suggest any other ways which I can't think of right now but you think is better.

    That will be more better.

    Do you guys agree with the reasons I listed above or are you saying the first one for your own reasons?

    One of the reasons I was unsure about which page style to choose was because the first choice 'static' was still going to be partially dynamic because users might change their profile (location, about) so I would still have to query for this data. Though of course with this type of style search engines would see more pages and the data on the pages would be at least "partially" static.

    I noticed that the DP forum uses 'dynamic' profiles...
