I want to add some page to my site. I was just wondering if it is possible to have the same content on each page and just have the place name change ie web design leicester, web design birmingham. is it possible to create a standard page and have the place name change by php dynamically. So I wouldn't have to create each page individually? any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can do it but it will not be effective for your site. It is also possible that Google will take it as duplicate content. If you really want to do optimization of those pages than add unique content on each page.
I understand the risk of duplicate content I'm just trying to find out whether it is possible. There is a site which has done it and have around 18,000 pages and a pr5.
Have a table which has a list of the cities... append the city name to the url use htaccess to grab the city name and pass it to a php page use that variable --> city name --> in your page <?=$CityName?>
