SamT_ Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 It looks correct from just seeing it, have you tried accessing it from "example.com/hospital/Alabama.html"? 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. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
