Thread: Dynamic Content using php

I have someone working on a new site and they want to use dynamic php - which creates weird url page names (? page=). I'm wondering if there's a work around for this?

Also, is the dynamic generated content okay for seo?

What web server do you use ? If it is apache you can use mod rewrite to make those URLs SEO friendly like /realestate/newyork.htm etc etc.. for IIS there are some paid rewrite modules out there.............

Try BrokerExec. It allows you to create "search engine friendly" web sites and it's free. Using ?= type queries will not help nearly as much as having URLs that look like they're actual HTML pages.

Thanks so much for the mod rewrite suggestion. I received the same idea on another forum - so it's definitely helpful to hear it again. I guess that means it must mean it's a somewhat common practice? I spoke to my webmaster and he's able to do this on the new site so it should work out okay now.

if your website is purpose to market.. please have a site that is Search Engine friendly to be more visible on prospected client.

You will need to have your developer code a rewrite program that uses .htaccess to 'rewrite' the dynamic urls into .html pages. Also, it does not matter which extension is used; .php or .html have the same weight. Also, I'd stay away from services such as BrokerExec as they use the same system for everyone minus a few keyword changes based on your account/website name. The codebase stays the same and Google will count that against you as 'duplicate content'. Trust an expert who's been doing this for eight years.

well im not sure if a SEO can handle this, actually you need to consult to your programmer..and they are the ones who do this for you..
