How dynamic sites can affect your PageRank

Dynamic pages are very convenient for visitors but are not always good for PageRank.

This is because Googlebots are not programmed to read this type of web page. Many of your web pages will not be viewed by the Googlebots or indexed by Google. However sometimes you need to put dynamic pages on your site

Firstly let's examine what a dynamic page is: These are pages that will come up when a visitors plugs in a certain command. This means that visitors will choose which pages they want to see.

This will be very convenient for your visitor. There are several programming formats and HTML coding that will enable a page to be dynamic. A few of them include; PHP, ASP, JSP (Java server page) CGI and PERL. Only make dynamic pages yourself if you have a good knowledge of these programming languages and skills.

Some reasons for creating dynamic pages for your site:

* Information that is categorized by date * Shopping sites * Multiple service providers * Any time you want visitors to be able to pull up a certain page they will need

Now for the crunch time: before you get all excited about these dynamic web pages remember one thing Googlebots cannot read dynamic sites. That’s right the Googlebots are robots and will not issue commands to get web pages. If they cannot read your dynamic pages no data about them is going to be relayed to Google and of course your pages cannot be viewed on the search engine.However the main reason that they cannot be viewed is because Googlebots are programmed not to read these types of pages.

Here's the reason why. The programming format will contain? or #&*!%. these are also the signs that Spammers and those infamous black hat SEO people use to trap the search engine spiders For this reason Googlebots are programmed to ignore anything with these signs. So how do you get Googlebots to read your dynamic pages? The answer is quite simple.

Here are a number of ways:

You change the formatting of your dynamic pages. This can be done with software. This will change those small unacceptable signs to ones that will be read by Googlebots. For example, scripts/ShowCode.asp ?lngWId=3&txtCodeId=769 Googlebots do not read ? or & so you can just change the script to txtCodeId.769/gWId.3/qx/vb/scripts/ShowCode.htm. Now unless you have this software do not try this alone without some knowledge of programming language and scripts.

* Make regular static pages that link to your dynamic pages * Submit each page manually being careful to change those signs * Make blogs that link to your dynamic pages * Optimize any pages that need to be indexed * Articles and content pages * Link to your dynamic pages with a table of contents

So if you really need dynamic pages and some businesses do. Remember to set them up so that the Googlebots can see and record all the information on your site. As illustrated this is not an impossible task. It is just a question of working with Google rules to help those Googlebots to read all the information about your site.
