Hi all,

I recently learned from reading that bots and spiders can't  
penetrate a multi-page GridView with built-in paging, they can only read 
the first page. It was a true Doh! moment, I don't know why 
it never occurred to me to check that, but there you go. 
The paging links are javascript, not url's, so bots can't read them. 
There are a few solutions to this, each has pluses and minuses. 
Here is another option. I hijacked the paging row on the GridView and 
inserted paging links that are url's. Its not a perfect solution because 
it bypasses .NET state processing and I have to be careful with querystring, 
but it was the right fit for what I was doing. I created a 
demo application with complete source code and solution files that 
 you can run online and download as well. Hope it helps.
