I have heard about dynamic links but need to know what they are.
Also what are static links and what are the difference between these and regular links

I presume you are talking about static and dynamic url's. It's pretty much already in the name:
"static" urls are exactly that - static. They are always the same, such as http://www.domain.com/index.html

"dynamic" urls are dynamic - they are urls of pages with content that relies on variable parameters that the server requires to deliver the pages. Based on the parameters, the server will return different content.
An example of a dynamic url is: http://www.domain.com/index.php?lang=NLD&name=home

You can generally recognise dynamic urls by the presence of characters such as ?, = and &.

I hope that helps!

Kind regards,
Peter
