: How to add a certain parameter (ad_id) to URL? On my WordPress site, there is a page http://www.example.com/doc/list/ that dynamically shows all DB entries (76,000). Google does not index the

To Google, www.example.com/doc/list/44444/name/ is a different URL from www.example.com/doc/list/44445/name/. If it finds links to both of them it will crawl both of them and index both of them.

Google automatically assumes that any difference in a URL makes the page different and this it should crawl and index all different variations. You start running into problems when you have the same content on slightly different URLs and have to tell Googlebot about which one is the "canonical" one that you want indexed.

Google webmaster tools URL parameters won't help in this case. URL parameters are name value pairs that come after the question mark. Google lets you specify which names of those don't change the page content for things like tracking parameters: /folder/page.html?sessionid=9382738. But as I mentioned earlier, you don't need to take any action anyway.
