Frank thank you for the feedback... I understand that there will not be a real time Spidering and update of Google, that's fine, once the 150,000 part numbers are Spidered once, then that is 1/2 the work done. The other side, that I want to be some what real time, is a onsite search feature so that real customers can see true, or close to true information... What some people do, is build a pade with every part number know to man on it, just a basic stream of text on a page, one after an other, after several tens if not hundreds of pages they have the information on the web.
a web catalog should NOT be creating static page files for each catalog item in the database, it should be a browsable dynamic HTML thing, thats generating the pages on the fly based on database queries. to the user, both implementations would look approximately the same. if you want your catalog 'spiderable', then it should have hierarchical navigation that will get you to every item (category, subcategory, item, next, last, etc), also hide the ?q=xxxxx&pn=xxxx stuff via URL redirection so the web pages appear as http://yourcatalog/toplevelcategory/category/subcategory/part/option or whatever.
