Can category pages be indexed by Search Engines? (Are they search engine friendly so that search engines can index the pages so that visitors can find the category pages via Search Engines?)
Answer:
If you run a static directory then the category pages are Search Engine friendly and can easily be indexed by any Search Engine as the entire category structure is generated as HTML files. The reason for this is because the URLs are not programmatic/script URLs but normal web URLs pointing to normal web pages.
