: How can I set parameters in Google webmaster tools so that my dynamic content is indexed? I have read questions about URL parameters in Google Webmaster Tools in this site and the Google Webmaster
I have read questions about URL parameters in Google Webmaster Tools in this site and the Google Webmaster Help Center but I have a problem.
My site searches in the database and show some information.
These two URL display some data:
mydomain.com/index.aspx?category=business http://mydomain.com/index.aspx?category=graphic&City=Paris
In URL parameter section, I can only define parameter category, how Google can detect proper values (business, graphics, real estate...)? Every word is not valid for search.
If My page name is default.aspx or anything else, where I should define it?
If I use URL rewriting like mydomain.com/search/category/business, my settings must change?

The purpose of the url parameters feature is to let you help Google identify URL parameters which affect (or don't affect) the content on the page. So in your case the URL parameter you'd setup would be category. You don't need to tell it possible values for that parameter, or the page filename, Googlebot will work that out for itself as it crawls your site.
If you were to start using URL rewriting then yes the settings would change, but this wouldn't break anything, Google would just start crawling the new URLs (assuming they are linked from somewhere).
You generally only need to use this feature if Googlebot is incorrectly indexing your pages with URL parameters, something that would be indicated in webmaster tools.
