Dear Members, I would like to hear your thoughts about the google sitemaps. Do you find any difference in the page rank or the description of the site after submitting your sitemaps. I have not submitted my sitemaps to google, but my pages are well indexed in the googlebot frequently. Will it be more advantage if i submit sitemaps? and do i need to mention all the links of my sites in the sitemap. Thanks, Krishna Srinivasan
Submitting a sitemap will not increase your pagerank, serps, or anything else. All the sitemap does is give Google a 'map' of every page at your site so that when it does finally get around to indexing your site, it will know the URL of every single page so that it can be indexed. .
Hello Friend, Thank you for your reply. I want to know how google indexes the dynamic pages. I am wondering how forums are indexed. Because forum posts are indexed into their database. Please clarify my doubts. Thanks, Krishna Srinivasan
I'm no expert, but here is what i (think) i know: If the pages are generated dynamically, but have an address that never changes, and are listed in your sitemap, then Google should find them and index them with no problem. If your pages are not SEO-Friendly, and have SessionsID's in them Example: mysite.com/?php.whatever?sessid=009922882891 Then you might run into trouble. I'm a little unclear on your exact question, so maybe you could rephrase it?
What terabite says is true. From the client crawler perspective, there is technically no difference between static and dynamic urls. Client parses delivered page content, scans for urls etc. and continues to crawl. However, dynamic pages often use technologies that may cause problems. One such thing may be session IDs. (There are other, but in general, they are less important today. Even so, you could consider e.g. using mod_rewrite to get "nice and clean" urls)
