@NogDogDec 10.2009 — #I would agree that there might -- *might* -- be some benefit to separate pages, but that only means separate URLs. Therefore if you use URL rewriting with "friendly" URLs as SWD talks about above, the spiders will have no idea if those URLs end up going to a single, database-driven PHP page. E.g.: if you use rewriting to send both "example.com/hotels/name+one" and "example.com/hotels/name+two" to "example.com/index.php?hotel=name+one" and "example.com/index.php?hotel=name+two", as far as the search engines are concerned those will be two separate "pages".
PHP/MySql SEO question
I am working on a travel website and the client who has some knowledge of SEO technology claims that its is better to have one HTML page per hotel to maximize his “Google” hits. I was under the impression that having one .php hotel page and dynamic content from a MySql database would still get you the same amount of hits. Is this true or false?
