    There are lots of dynamic websites that have been well optimized and rankings extremely well on both Google and Yahoo. Read through the posts here on DP for Wordpress, OSCommerce, Magento and other dynamically developed website tools. There are lots of posts already here on the topic.

    One thing to do to help with Your SEO for Dynamic Websites is to check out is if you use WordPress to set your URLs to the name of the blog entry heading instead of the default which is some weird code.

    First you need to define how much of your site is really dynamic, since some elements of design and layout may be of no importance to search engines.. As long as you have permanent content on permanent URLs - you are half way a success.

    same principals applies with a dynamic web site as a normal static site with here and there differences as the URL will be dynamic but this can also be catered for by using appache's mod_rewrite. With mod_rewrite you can convert a dynamic url "index.php?content=about" or "index.php?id=10&catid=2" to search engine friendly urls like "index/content/about/".

    There are lots of articles on the net explaining in detail how mod_rewrite work.

    Hope this information helps.

    Code the site so that each page has unique titles and meta descriptions. I've seen a lot of dynamic sites use the same meta description on each page. Also, keep the sitename out of the page titles - make the page title as relevant as possible to the content of each page. If there's scope to allow it, link between similar pages on the site automatically.

    True,

    It is the same hard work that goes into a dynamic site than a normal static site. Sure you can write a function that grabs automatically meta descriptions from the pages but do you want to risk your on page seo factors to it? Study each page carefully as you would have done with a html page and treat each one as unique.

    With my dynamic pages I usually have 4 important fields (beside the others) that I always cater for, link (the name of the link), content (the content of the page), keywords (meta keywords), descriptions(meta descriptions).

    The link could be anything (about_us) then I use mod_rewrite to convert it to basically anything that I want: /about-us/, about_us.html, about-us.htm, about-us.grobbulus)

    The great thing about dynamic websites is that you can create a script that automatically compiles a xml sitemap for you on all the dynamic content. This takes the hassle away from re-coding the sitemap everytime you want to add a new page. I know most cms, blogs out there automatically creates the sitemap for you but hey.....I'm still old school and I code everything myself.

    In my opinion, it is very important to use mod_rewrite and get rid of sessionids.

    You don't have to pass sessionids via the URL.

    for dynamic websites you need first to set your permalink structure or the permanent URL.

    It works exactly the same as a static site. Implement the search engine friendly urls, create the sitemap and do everything the same that you would've done with a static site.
