    Hi All,

    A quick question.

    I know that the best way of getting the SE's to index a dynamic database driven pages is to create static pages and add links to the dynamic pages.

    The problem with this is that the page titles and meta descriptions for each dynamic page do not change from one page to the next - they all have one generic title etc..

    How do you assign unique titles and metas to each dynamic page? Can this be done by adding 'title' & 'description' fields into the database?

    Thanks in advance!

    "I know that the best way of getting the SE's to index a dynamic database driven pages is to create static pages and add links to the dynamic pages."

    This is incorrect. The best way to get a dynamic website indexed, is set up a MOD_rewrite, and ensure each page can be reached from the home page within 3 clicks. And that the path taken is through HTML based navigation.

    "How do you assign unique titles and metas to each dynamic page? Can this be done by adding 'title' & 'description' fields into the database? "

    Yes, just add an area in the database that stores this info, and on the templates have these variables pulled the same way the content for the page is pulled.

    Thanks sandie,

    I forgot to say that I was laso using mod_rewrite - the static pages are being used to add a little extra content to the site.

    These pages will link to the dynamic pages just to increase the chanes of the pages beiong indexed - best be safe than sorry!

    Cheers, Lee
