Dynamic Content & SEO

I am running a career site.

I am planning to make certain pages which will have a static url (without any query string) but content would be retrieved from database & dynamically generated.

How Google Takes Dynamic Database Driven content vis-à-vis static content?
Which is better Dynamic Content or Static Content?

 

I think they are equal, since there is no difference in their html code if you use mod rewrite.

 

If you use mod-rewrite and create static looking URL, there will not be any differnce.
Even dynamic URLS are okay now. I don't think google gives much differnce between the two. There was a time when static looking URLS had a real advantage, but that is not the case any more. There might be some small benefits, thats it. Also, if you create URLs like How_to_add_keywords_to_url_for_Seo.HTML kind of URLs, there is a risk of spam penalty.

 

There is no difference between dynamic content from PHP and static content, as long as it is parsed well, google doesn't see the difference as far as i k now.

 

dynamic pages and html pages are indexed and ranked exactly the same.. Just make sure you don't use a string that looks like a session id. i.e. id=87hbf764fyhb3fg7348gf95

 

Some time ago, dynamical URLs with one query (e.g. blahblah.php?widgets=blue) were ok, but more was not.

Most likely, now even several queries look ok.

And if URLs are static, there is no problem at all.

 

Technically dynamic pages are not "pages" but we can call them pages as they appear as "web page" to surfer. Also, it's a matter of debate that which is better, Dynamic contents or Static ones All depends upon the requirements of the site.

Example #1: A site need frequent updates may use a CMS to update it's contents. Here dynamic is better.

Example #2: A site has fixed information and nothing need to update, a static site is better.

Your case: You have a static site and like to display dynamic contents to a particular location of your home page. A nice idea, this way SE's will get always some fresh updates. They simply love this But be sure to update your dynamic contents on regular intervals.

it's also a myth [for me] that SE's dont index dynamic URL's and one required to apply Mod_rewrite rule to create static URL's. I feel SE's do index them.

 

Of course they index dynamic sites. You only have to look at google to see that. They index DP and phpbb.com and they rank well.

 

google will index both of them but static urls will crawl and index with faster time than dynamic urls. using sitemap is also big criteria for better index
