Hi, have a web page called http://www.learningsteps.com/courses.php where content locations of courses is take from the database. The location point to locations where i have the html files to launch courses, but i noticed that all 80 pages have 0 pagerank and are (i think) not indexed by google. Does anyone know how i can overcome this and make the pages more google friendly whilst using dynamic content - someone said something about mod/rewrite can deliver static page but i am unsure. I also tried setting up a sitemap that links to each page - but its a pain maintaining it as i am adding 5 courses every week. was hoping to automate the process. Kind Regards Fergal.
Don't use Javascript links. Google can't follow these. Instead of <a href="#" onclick="expand2('Html-CSS-Javascript')"> HTML: Use <a href="original-link.html" onclick="expand2('Html-CSS-Javascript'); return false;"> HTML: This way Google can find the pages. (And it will also work for used which have Javascript disabled) You can view your indexed files here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:learningsteps.com EDIT: If you don't want to change the Javascript links, then you can also add a sitemap where Google can find your pages.
Just to add to what nico said, if you could code a dynamic sitemap you could add it to Google's webmaster central to tell what pages had been indexed. Brew
instead of courses.php?variableToGetData use http://xxxx/courses/VariableToGetData and use apache mod_rewrite to pass the variable to courses.php it is more google friendly
Google do not read the Java script like images. You should avoid this. best wishes ____________________________________ Custom Lanyards are here
