Content Management system or Database driven websites makes it much easy to manage the pages. However, CMS/ database driven pages come with extra characters such as question marks (?) and other command punctuation such as &, %, + and $. Such URLs are not very search engine friendly mainly because of the length of URLs and possibility of getting stuck in the loop. Search engines are much better at indexing static pages.
Here's an example of a dynamic URL which queries a database with specific parameters to generate a page:
http://www.domainname.com/Properties/listing_detail.php?listing_id=254?source=4
Dynamic URLs comes with following disadvantages:
- Difficult to get crawled by search engine robots.
- Difficult to remember and recognize the URLs by human visitors.
Here is a theoretical version of static URL:
http://www.domainname.com/Properties/listing_detail/property_name254/source4.html
Here is what Google has to say on why your webpages have never been included in the Google index:
Your pages are dynamically generated. We're able to index dynamically generated pages. However, because our web crawler could overwhelm and crash sites that serve dynamic content, we limit the number of dynamic pages we index. In addition, our crawlers may suspect that a URL with many dynamic parameters might be the same page as another URL with different parameters. For that reason, we recommend using fewer parameters if possible. Typically, URLs with 1-2 parameters are more easily crawlable than those with many parameters.
SEOValley offers dedicated dynamic URL re-writing service to help convert dynamic URLs into static version to make it easy crawling by search engine robots. This helps both the human visitors and search engine robots to access and index your website pages easily. This also removes a load from your backend database, as it does not have to gather content every time someone wants to view a page.
