Search Engines and Dynamic Database-Driven Websites

URL rewriting

The best solution is to reformat the URLs so that they appear as static URLs to the search engines.  The other benefit of this solution is that once it has been introduced, it does not require any additional ongoing work. 

For example,

www.boxuk.com/amaxus.php?contentTypeA=access&contentId=100

can be rewritten as:

www.boxuk.com/server/amaxus/intro   

providing a URL that is not only search-engine friendly, but one that means something to your site visitors.

Box UK can provide a solution for most combinations of languages and servers, so whether your site is running PHP, ASP or JSP on a Windows or Unix server, all the pages of your database-driven site can be opened up to the search engines.  This will mean that each page of your site will be given the opportunity to attract new customers via the search engines, on a wide variety of search phrases and topics.
