Ranking dynamic landing pages
HI Mark, There really isn't a big secret to ranking dynamic pages. Provided they all have unique URL's then it is just a matter of populating the content based off of some parameter. I can't say what is the best way to do this but I can give you an example of how I would handle lets say a site like LinkedIn So we have a search box that requires some input lets say we use a name. Run a query in a database to see if we have a match. If we have multiple matches then query basic information (Location, Title, Image) show them to the user and let them select the correct one. Once a user is selected then use that information to populate the page. So I would set as many variables as I could based off of our database information. Say we queried my name (Don Ford) and you found me from multiple matches displayed them to the user and they selected me. $person_fname=Don $person_lname=Ford $person_job=Web Developer $person_company=Columbia Engineered Rubber etc.... Then I would use this variables to generate my title, description, h1, h2 tags, and content and serve it up. Provided the page has a unique url you get my page on LinkedIn. It can be included in a sitemap, indexed by search engines and found online. Example: <title>$person_fname . ' ' . $person_lname . ' Professional ' . $person_job . ' At ' . $person_company</title> The real trick is how much unique content can your store in your database and return to the user. The more you have the more unique content you can display. Since its dynamic you make everything possible dynamic including all the SEO basics. Its really that simple.

Get Google To Crawl More Pages Faster on my Site
Mark If you have had your category level or city/state level pages, whatever your architecture is, you'd see your detail pages getting crawled pretty quickly. Give it a week. I would also work on getting some deep links to your website. Google has mentioned several times, PR is a direct measure of how deep and how often Google crawls your website. So I would suggest working on building the domain authority and brand in terms of backlinks to the website. Other then that, as bstone81 said, generate sitemaps and sitemap of sitemaps and submit to Google.

Google Site Extended Listing Not Indexed
If there are links pointing to your old pages, whether on your site or from external sources, Google will continue to try to index them and return 404s. The best way to tell Google that these pages have moved is to add 301 redirects from your new content to your old content. This will eliminate the 404s and help you retain and link juice the old pages had.

Facebook fan page does not show up in Google Search
You are not showing up on Bing either. Do you have Country and Age restrictions set on the FB page? Try leaving the Country blank and the Age restriction to Anyone (13+). If you have a G+ page, make sure you have your FB page listed/linked on your G+ profile.
