How is O'Reilly getting this page indexed? It shows up in organic results for [2005 honda accord windshield wiper size].

Hi David,

Why not? It wouldn't matter if the page is dynamic or not. Google would be able as well to use the filters in the sidebar so can come up finally on a page like this. Although it would be nice if the Oreilly team maybe would disallow Google from some of the pages.

I was under the impression that dynamic pages where you go through a lookup would be harder to index.

Ex. - one of our sites uses a lookup to get customers to page that lists all the products we carry for their vehicle. The main landing page has a dropdown lookup with 3 to 8 fields depending on the vehicle type, and all fields must be filled in to get to the product listing page.

You're saying Google should be able to go through that and index the dynamic content with no problem?

Hi David,

I'm not really sure how you would get to this page from let's say the homepage but besides that there could be a couple other ways that Google found this page: via a sitemap, via a link on another Web site or via social media. In all cases would Google be able to view the page and be able to index it.

It really depends on what kind of form you use but I've seen some cases where Google was able to use select boxes etc.
