hi Could someone give me an answer to the following: Right now I have something like http://www.mydomain.com/name-of-subject/ and with mod_rewrite (and php) it pulls the right data out of my db. But for SEO should I create static pages like http://www.mydomain.com/name-of-subject.html What's your suggestion??
Either way should work fine. I like it without the .html better but for SEO purposes I dont think it will matter much. Unless you have a bunch of operators in the url, there isn't going to be a huge effect on SEO.
i doubt you'll see much difference between the two google can still tell that the page is dynamic unless you correctly set the server headers to return a 'last-modified' date.
Yes Google can still handle pages with operators as long as the operators are kept at a minimum. The mod_rewrite method makes everything look better anyways.
