uterpie - XPL uses pages generated on the fly, but uses mod_rewrite to generate static-looking SE friendly URLs. Basically, when a URL is called, the script generates a php page...but because the script uses mod_rewrite to give the dynamically generated pages static URLs instead of yoursite.com/php?anal, the URL is yoursite.com/links/anal/ (for example), which is much friendlier for both search engines and surfers.
So, that's what the "quasi-static" means...the pages are dynamically generated but to the world (i.e. surfers and SE spiders) they look static. There are no pages to "build" in order to update...as soon as a link is added it displays on the front end. I run XPL at Fetish Philes and I'm getting pretty respectable SE traffic...this particular feature was one of the big reasons I chose this script.
Hope this helped. BTW, if you decide to go with XPL let me know before you buy, I can get you a $20 discount
