Is Doing The Whole Database / Php Thing Worth It? - Question from the inexperianced...

midnightvamp
Okay.... I just ran across something when I was looking into databases. Apparently, they aren't easily seen by search engines, because they are dynamically created. That's not a good thing, because all my visitors come from search engines.

I'm sure that people could find my site from the static pages, that would accompany the database part of the site, but it seems that there wouldn't be much of it left to bring in the visitors.

Have any of you encountered this, and figured out what to do about it? I was also thinking from an Adsense point of view, that I'm not sure if it could generate relevent ads on the fly.

I'd still definately like to encorporate some of the php into the site, because it's getting to a point where it's growing so some common elements, that would be found in one file would save me time in the long run I'm sure.

(As you can see, I'm getting cold feet. Ah... I'm so indecisive.)

That was the case a few years ago - not any more. This article talks about it.

Wow... that makes me incredibly happy! You have no idea. I've been spending the last couple of days planning out a big redesign... and when I read that search engines didn't like dynamic pages, I was getting all flustered.

Thanks for that. I needed it!

snlildude87, forget about that program you offered midnightvamp, Myphp was the best one I ever found. It is designed to use mysql and php together which is perfect for a site...

And yeah databases can be seen now biggrin.gif...the trick i always used to use to get over that was to of course use a php front to it and add meta tags and allow google to spider, i mean google can spider anything even databases and word documents and such like...

oh and I saw this briliant program some time ago it allows you to simulate your scripts and you can change them in any way without actually harming your database and such like (this is direct from the server), it works like creating a temp file or something which you use and then when your done it will save all the changes to your actual php file. I might look for it again it will come in handy for my site...
