Recommended Posts

Instead of having the URL as http://xxx.com/hospital/search.php?page=1&state=Alabama

 

Can i have  http://xxx.com/Alabama.html ? These static URLs get indexed by google i guess.However i can't get it right.Here is what i wrote.

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/hospital/(.+)\.htm$ /hospital/search.php?page=1&state=$1 [R,NC]

 

Can someone please point me my mistake

It looks correct from just seeing it, have you tried accessing it from "example.com/hospital/Alabama.html"?

Google will access and index those URLs just fine, what  Google probably is lacking would be links to this URL. If you have a search box that a user must actively put a word in, then Google wont pick it up as it crawls your page passively - only picking up links which you place yourself. The easiest way to fix the issue with it not being indexed is simply to put links to search states. Have a sidebar that says "Hospitals by state" and have a list of the states linking to the appropriate search query.
