When I get a not found error, if the requested page begins with "item_" then the error handler calls up item_.html, which uses listwords to pull the FP700 product ID out of the url and look up that product in the database. The rest of the page name "chandlerstrawberryplantsboxof150" is generated by condensing the name of the product, and is meaningless to my system (you could also go to "item_FP700.html" or "item_FP700_kilroywashere.html" and get the same content), but helps to improve rankings in some search engines. The net result is one dynamic physical page that looks to the search engines and any site visitor like 3000+ static product pages. Search engine indexing and hits have dramatically improved since this system was implemented. - brian On Dec 22, 2003, at 7:47 AM, Larry Hewitt wrote: > We have done this using a database and WRITEFILE to generate a series > of pages - let the database do the work in real time once the user > gets there, but it has HTML pages to read like Ken suggests. > > Happy Holidays. > > On Monday, December 22, 2003, at 03:32 AM, Kenneth Grome wrote: > >>> Hi >>> >>> Is there a way of using cookies and not the long URLs with the ? >>> Our website has an excellent ranking in goolge but the products do >>> not get >>> indexed properly at all which is an issue >> >> Why don't you create a static web page for every item and then put >> the links to those pages on a "site map" page?
