Dynamic content and google ranking |

Short question: is google able to correctly read dynamically created pages? Long version: I'm asking because, while my previous, plain html, site was reachable by google after a couple of weeks, my new one seems unexistent in google's database. Even specific searches don't give up anything. The whole site is contained in one unique php script that gives the page it's basic frame and then it includes (using the include() function) the requested content. Nearly all the contents in the site are reachable with http://inf1.altervista.org/index.php?page=a_page It this bad? Should i change the structure to have for each page a different php file?

The client (google included, I'm sure) does not differentiate from dynamically generated pages and static plain-jane html pages. PHP is entirely handled on the server itself. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Yeah, that's what I always thought (knew). I made a site for someone using PHP and they complained that "Google stops at the question marks!" Where do they get this stuff? The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

I could see it having minor problems with certain types of tags. For example, session id's. I don't know if that's true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Allegro.cc is dynamically generated, it can be searched on google. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Derezo said: Allegro.cc is dynamically generated, it can be searched on google. Yes, but for each page it has a different link... my site is (not for long) only one php page which loads different content. [FMC Studios] - [Caries Field] - [Ctris] - [Pman] - [Chess for allegroites] |

That's still similar to allegro.cc's setup. www.mywebsite.com/index.php If each of these pages has links to page=home, page=games and page=forum, google will search through them perfectly fine and exactly the same as if they had been home.html, games.html and forum.html. Google gets it's information through web links and a link to index.php?section=home is considered different than index.php?section=games [edit: I made it needlessly more complicated] "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |
