prime Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ok now say I have a database with a lot of entries in it, I dont know over 300, and I am using $_GET to paginate it. so now I have say http://example.com/index.php?s=3&d=6 // meaning to start from the 3rd entry and the next page could be http://example.com/index.php?s=6&d=6 //next page Ok my question is this, even though it is the same page technically index.php would search engines such as google treat using $_GET like this as separate pages or what?

cooldude832 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I don't know their definition of what a "page is" but technically you can rewrite to that to function identically as mysite.com/search/start_3/end_6/ and it would work the same as mysite.com/search.php?start=3&end=6 Google likes pages lacking lots of GET variables and can't tell the difference that easily (or just don't care) if its modrewritten or static. In my own personally opinion a page is the physical document that is being requested, and its content is dynamic. This means that if I ran google you wouldn't be searching for pages, but for links to dynamic content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 even though its the same page, with mod rewrite of the url google will index them separately, cool, thank you for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
