 Topic: Search-engine friendly links
Posted: 25 January 2006 at 10:03pm |

Hi Borg!
Tried to search the forums for this one, but couldn't find any hits.
I was wondering if there is support for "google-friendly-links" on the forums? I know that google strongly dislike dynamical pages, and also that it have a max-limit on the amount of dynamical pages it will follow with it's crawlers, due to problems with them that can make google crash the entire website.
It's a real nice feature to have, and I really would like to see it in WWF-
If this isn't something that is built into the system at the moment, is there by any chance a possibility to see such a feature in the system at the v8 release?
Cheers!
Kristoffer :o)

Google does index the current forum without any problems.
The Google spider is indexing this forum most days, and it has most of the page sin it's index.
Allot of hits to this site come directly to posts with the forum from google searches.

I work with a site that has over 100,000 dynamically generated pages All are indexed by every top search engine - just not all at once.
I think this myth that search engines don't like dynamic pages gets started because most SE's start with a "shallow" crawl of the home page and 1 or 2 levels down. Over time however, they return and pick up where they left off. You probably don't want a SE indexing your large site all at once unless you're prepared for a jump in your bandwidth bill.
The only thing that can cause a problenb is if you change or delete a url they are expecting to pick up on. That situation will occur regardless of the links bein dynamic or "SE Friendly".

I must agree about the bandwidth thing, this site, and especially this forum continually has search engine spiders crawling it, this results in 5% of traffic for this site.
This site uses just over 100Gig of bandwidth per month, that means that spiders are using around 5Gig a month of bandwidth!!

Hehe.. okay. Then I don't need to think of that anymore. One of the reasons for asking is because when I try to submit my website to googles index, it gives me an 302-http-error message, and I don't have a single clue what that means 8even after having read an article about it :P)

302 isn't an error message, its a valid code saying the requested url has moved and the request is being redirected to the new location.
When you change the url of a page you want to return a 301 or 302 and redirect the request so the search engine knows to update it's link with the new url.
