jandrox_ox Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 When you have a database driven website with, how does google handle the pages that are loaded from the database? Lets say, for example, a catalog. It is really one page under "cat/index.php" to which you then send what database to load from by appending it to the URL as "cat/index.php?table=34. When a google bot goes to that page it is going to go to "cat/index.php" so all the stuff that you have on the database is actually not going to be ranked! What are ways of bypassing this. I was thinking of passing the table number this way "cat/tableNumber/" this way apache is going to go back to "cat" since it cannot find a folder called "tableNumber" and run the index.php in folder "cat". Then use a function that parses the URL to look for the table number (after the /) and get it to load from the database. Will this way work? Do you guys have any recommendations? Links to any articles that talk about this (please don't google it right now and link some article which you don't know its quality of, link something you have read and find helpful). Thanks a lot.
