Hi Stephan,

I know that google is able to catalog dynamic paramters in URLs but in 
both cases (static or dynamic notification) some parameters like sorting 
  (sorting table- or listcontent) multiply the google-results sensless 
and make it harder to create statistics.
So, if you use parameters that don't change the content but only the 
view, you should create a xml-sitemap for gooogle.
This reduces also the time google needs to index your page and the 
amount of traffic. So you're saving money too perhaps.

Best Regards
David
