Hello. I'm using for one of my sites a CS-Cart installation. It has a feature where you can enable SEO and the pages turn from dynamic to stating html. For products with multiple options and price changing for each option, turning this feature on seems to generate some bugs (some options aren't appearing, etc) so i turn it off. However, i keep reading how static pages are useful and better. Is there any actual proof for that or it's just suppositions ? It's google crawler that dumb that it needs html to index pages better ? As i've said, i'm using dynamic pages and i got the 1st google position for some keywords. Should i enable SEO to get better search position for other keywords ? Is it worth the trouble of turning the SEO on and then try to solve the bugs that this feature generates or should i leave it as it is because it will not improve my SEO considerably ? Thanks.
it used to be that google didn't really crawl dynamic pages. A lot of the time the page would stay the same on the site with only a small element changing for each variable, so google didn't bother. But then it was missing out on a lot of content so they started crawling dynamic pages too. If you want to be sure that each page gets crawled, create a sitemap and submit it to google sitempas. That should do it fine. There's not really any reason to convert to static.
