Solutions for Dynamic Website Ranking - Put on a static mask
(Page 3 of 5 )
The best way to rank your dynamic website is to place a mask of static URL (rewrite URL as static look) on dynamic URL.
Such as:
- http://www.mysite.com/products/computers.html
- http://www.mysite.com/products/speakers.html
- http://www.mysite.com/products/cameras.html
Interesting, we have three different pages for three different product lines. Now these pages can be highly ranked in search engines. But where is my dynamic programming skill? Where is the database drive website? It may not seem like it, but trust me, they are there. Your Web pages are still dynamic and database driven. You only place a mask of static URL upon the dynamic URL. When you open that static page, you actually open the dynamic Web page with query stings.
But how it this possible? Well, it is possible, but it is a technically demanding solution. You can select from several different options, depending on the type of Web server you use.
Use CGI/Perl scripts
One of the easiest why to get your dynamic sites indexed by search engine is using CGI/Perl scripts. Path_Info or Script_Name is a variable in dynamic applications that contains the complete URL address including query strings information. You'll need to write a script that will pull all the information before the query string and set the rest of the information equal to a variable. You can then use this variable in your URL address.
Example:
http://www.mysite.com/products/category.asp?cid=7
Write a script that strips out all the information before the query string and the query string part of the dynamic URL is assigned to a variable. In the above example “?cid=7” is assigned to a variable, say “V”. Now you can use that variable in your URL address.
Now the dynamic URL will changes to http://www.mysite.com/products/category/A which can easily be indexed by search engine.
Next: Use Apache (re-configure server) >>
