Get Google to Index Dynamic PHP Pages

Question

Hi -

I'm planning on having a website where the links aren't set HTML pages (ex. mypage.com/contact_me.html) but dynamic (profile.php?uid=32320&mode=2).

How can I get Google to index a website like this, so that every profile (much like facebook has done) is indexed separately on google?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Google finds dynamic pages like that just fine (assuming it can find them via links).

You can always provide an XML sitemap if you're paranoid.

Answer 2

Use URL-rewriting to make the pages more meaningful to search engines. There are limits as to the number and depths of dynamic URLs with querystrings that Google will follow (but it will follow some).

Answer 3

google has a site to help webmasters get their pages indexed better as well as some analytics facilities you might find of value also
