Google indexing of databese generated webpages

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 07.2009

Hi, I am creating a website where all the pages are created through a single template, pulling all the content from a database.

I would like to know if Googe is able to index pages which are generated dynamically, so they then appear on searches. Example; the page may be: [url]www.test.co.uk/test.php?id=123[/url]

Thanks in advance.

@tfk11Mar 08.2009 — Certainly. In this day and age a search engine that lacked the ability to index dynamic content wouldn't be of much use.

Although... search engines must be able find links to these pages in order to index them just like regular pages. If your content cannot be reached by following links from the home page you may create a sitemap to help search engines find your content.

@MindzaiMar 08.2009 — You could also consider using mod_rewrite to make the URLs nicer too, using a single 'controller' as in your example lends itself perfectly to this, and you get nicer user urls as for humans as well as search engines, ie domain.com/index.php?id=123 becomes domain.com/my-category/my-page-name

Success!
