HI,

We are in the process of developing our website. most of our pages are dynamic pages. we would like our website to get top rank in search engines. how we achieve this task? also we heard that the dynamically generated pages are not captured by search engine spider?

anybody can help?

Hi libea,

"Spider" called its regulated process by every search engines it does capture all the website and store the information and index the pages by its own algorithm.

you don't need to pay to be included for search engines, and even if you do..you won't rank anywhere, that is to do with other factors.

if you are just developing your site...get the pages converted to html.

This wasn't a serious enquiry as the question that was posed at 4:53 am by a new member was answered within five minutes by a new member who co-incidentally pointed him to a website that would answer all of his problems.

We normally just delete spam but this time I have left the question as it is a useful discussion point anyway.

I'm currently looking at Google sitemaps, so it's rather spooky that this topic has come up!

I agree that the use of mod_rewrite is an excellent tip for anyone with a website that uses dynamically generated URL's - We only use CMS's and Ecommerce systems that make the use of mod_rewrite, just because of this very reason...

Back to the first point and Google sitemaps, has anyone actually seen an increase in hits after installing sitemaps?

It seems to me that Google has given up trying to spider dynamic website's - using sitemaps to get the webmaster to do the hard work and then the lazy spiders just have to follow the maps

The best way is by using HTaccess - you can make dynamically generated pages readable with this technology. I can get my developers on it if you like...

we have been using google sitemaps on all our ecommerce sites for a while now, they are generated from info in the databasem, customers love them (great selling point) and they do get indexed quicker than just a link from our site and the indexing seems to be deeper.

Many ecommerce sites use dynamic pages and URLs. The dynamic page is basically only a template in which to display the results of a database query. Instead of changing information in the HTML code, the data is changed in the database. But the risk of using dynamic URLs is that search engines don't like them.

The Apache Mod Rewrite module allows you to redirect an URL, without the user's (or search engine's) knowledge. The URL will look just like a static URL.
If you are unsure how to do this there is an URL Rewriting Tool at
