What is a good module to use to expose Webform 3.x results to views? I want to create a views page with links to each form submission so search engine spiders can crawl and index user submitted questions.

If you want to make a page with links to each webform submission, you can just use Views itself; you don't need an extra module. Add a new view. Choose show Content of type webform. Check the box for Create a page. As the display format, I would recommend choosing the format you want and using fields; this will easily allow you to add links to the forms.
To be sure the search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) index your content, though, I wouldn't use this approach. I would use the XML Sitemap module.

This only creates a view list of all my webforms. i want to be able to select which fields or webform components to manipulate and show. since webform compenents aren't fields it won't show up in the fields dialog menu. Commented Jan 29, 2013 at 0:31

2If you want to use webform components as fields, I suggest using Webform 4.x. While it's still in alpha at the moment, it uses Field API instead of webform's custom component handling. I know yo asked for 3.x, but 4.x was a rewrite of 3.x specifically to handle this problem; I don't think there is a good solution for integrating with Views and 3.x Commented Jan 29, 2013 at 1:14
Your only option, really (short of upgrading to at least D7/Webforms 4.0, or converting to real nodes -- see webform entity module):

Limited, but may accomplish your goal.
