Is creating static versions of my websites pages the best way for search engines to crawl the site easier?

you don't need to convert your pages to static ones, you just need to provide a short url to access the resource.. this can be done using apache modrewrite(google for "SEO mod_rewrite")\n\njust do that, and provide CLEAN and LIGHTWEIGHT html code,no flash,no popups, no duplicated content (as "donwload as PDF " or "printer version" button) gain some links to your site from trusted and popular sites, and the most important thing **provide useful content**.

Firstly you need inbound links http://www.seo-blog.com/inbound-links.php\n\nSecondly you should use absolute urls i.e. not\n\n<a target="_self" href="products.htm">\n<span style="color: #2174A8; \ntext-decoration: none">Products</span></a>\n\nbut\n\n<a target="_self" href="http://www.cnbiz4u.com/products.htm">\n<span style="color: #2174A8; \ntext-decoration: none">Products</span></a>\n\nso that the whole of your site gets spidered.

Search engines are very complex software which require immensely complex programming. It also requires a great deal of space for a database, depending on how many pages you would like to index in your search engine.\n\nIf you have a small website, and you just want to design a small engine that only lists that pages in your site, I suggest you do a Yahoo or a Google on "build your own search engine". I once did that, and found a small piece of software (for free) which indexes the pages for you and generates the complex code.\n\nIf you want to create something more powerful, like a search bot or web spider, I have very little to say. I've been looking into that for a long time myself, with little success. However, visit http://www.thebananatree.org/ They provide extensive information on many types of search engines. Be ware, it won't be easy!\n\nHope I could help...

Hi, most noteworthy, you need backlinks pointing to your domain.. \n\nOf equal importance, you need to add your description and keyword meta tags(to every page), or it will not get indexed properly on any search engine.

Word of mouth is your best bet. Also, you can find in yahoo and google and such a way to put your site into their search engine. This takes some time because they send these page crawlers through your site to a) check if it is legal and b) look for key words that will cause your site to load when someone is searching for something.

The first step is to submit your site in the search engines. But that will not make your site appear high in the search terms you want because search engines look for several factors in giving top rankings to sites.\n\nSearch engines look at the following factors in ranking websites, though in varying degrees of importance:\n\n- Age of the Content \n- Keyword density \n- How it fares in the results \n- Site structure \n- Backlinks\n\nIf you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm \n\nWebmasterWorld.com http://www.webmasterworld.com has different sections that cover various aspects of search engine optimization, and each section is participated in by respected webmasters and even search engine employees (e.g. there's a GoogleGuy that responds to Google topics)\n\nOther resources that can help you get top ranking in the search engines are:\n\nGoogle Press Releases http://googlepress.blogspot.com/ \nMatt Cutts Blog http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/  (Matt is a Google software engineer)\nDigitalpoint Yahoo Forums http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6\nSearchEngineWatch's MSN Forums http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8\nSEO for Google http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/google.htm\nSEO for Yahoo! http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/yahoo.htm\nSEO for MSN http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/msn.htm\nTying It Together: SEO For The Big Three http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/seo.htm\n\nAs for tools to help you get top rankings in the search engine, here are some of the best in the field today\n\nTotal Optimizer Pro http://www.totaloptimizer.com/\nKeyword density tool http://googlerankings.com/ultimate_seo_tool.php\nGoogle Sitemaps (to help Google index your pages faster) https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview?hl=en

The previous answers are absolute nonsense and do not even answer the question.\n\nYour feeling that it is the url is correct and also the product pages are more than 2 or 3 url hops away from the home page.\n\nYou can solve this problem easily by doing three things.\n\n1. Use Apache's mod_rewrite to make the urls search engine friendly. http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/23/0.php\n\n2. Create a 'conventional sitemap' on your site for the product pages and link to it from every page. http://www.seo-blog.com/sitemaps.php\n\n3. Use 'Google Sitemaps' to submit all your pages for crawling. https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/about.html\n\nPerform the tasks in the order of 1, 2, and 3 and do not be tempted to leave one of them out :)

You have to learn and implement Search Engine Optimization (SEO). You could also hire someone to do it for you.\n\nThe two biggest things are good optimized content and lots of backlinks from other sites. There's definitely more to it than that, but you'll learn. Check out my sources for more info.\n\nEdit: Automatic submission tools like the one above are not what you want. They are appealing because they are easy... but they really wont get you anywhere. Some can even get your site banned.

In my opinion (maybe not others opion) it is often difficult enough to navigate most websites without having double the clutter to look at. That is why I dezign my sites with an index.html content of "Select language" (in both languages) and a link to english.html and one to espan.html. I realize this doubles your creation time, but, if I visit your site and get discouraged before finding my way to the cash register, what good is it. I may be more likey to go to the next search result that is easier to navigate.

Search engines use very powerful or robust program codes which are called crawlers (or spiders), which crawl through the internet looking for new websites, if they find any, then they automatically catch the link to that site and include it in the storage directory. More powerful the crawler, better is the search engine.

Create more pages. Make sure the homepage has links to each new page on it, or try a sitemap not only as a webpage but also the kind that search engines use https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login\n\nTry submitting your website to directories like http://www.limerex.com , http://www.tatet.com/ , http://www.slackalice.com/ , http://www.lookdirectory.com/ , http://www.dmoz.org\nand exchanging links with other websites that have similar content to yours.

YES -- Google can crawl dynamic pages but they may not always be successful. That is why submitting a sitemap is important to make sure that their bots do not miss anything\n\nFrom the Google Webmaster Help pages\nhttp://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=34431&query=dynamic&topic=&type=\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\nDoes Google index dynamic pages? \n\nYes, Google indexes dynamically generated webpages, including .asp pages, .php pages, and pages with question marks in their URLs. However, these pages can cause problems for our crawler and may be ignored. If you're concerned that your dynamically generated pages are being ignored, you may want to consider creating static copies of these pages for our crawler. If you do this, please be sure to include a robots.txt file that disallows the dynamic pages in order to ensure that these pages aren't seen as having duplicate content. In addition, you might consider creating and submitting a detailed Sitemap of your pages using the Sitemaps component of our webmaster tools. Our webmaster tools are an easy way for you to submit all your URLs to the Google index and get detailed reports about the visibility of your pages on Google. You can automatically keep us informed of all of your current pages and of any updates you make to those pages. Please note that submitting a Sitemap doesn't guarantee that all pages of your site will be crawled or included in our search results. To learn more about Google Sitemaps and webmaster tools, please visit our information page. \n-------------------------------------------------------

http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request\n\nIf you want I can submit your site to 130+ search engines for free?\ninfo@webgrowth.co.za\n\nIt doesn't help only submitting to one or two search engines or directories. Ongoing link building is imperative to get good search engine results. It all depends how much traffic you want through your website...

Google for example has crawlers finding pages once per week, but they found them by the title, so whatever is in the title of your html script is what shows, now in order for you to list your page to different search engines, you must find one of them companies doing this for a fee, then I don't know what techniques they use but your page goes right on the first places everywhere..☺

It would really depend on how much access you have to the website.  To add keywords, content, descriptions, change titles, etc., you'd need access to the code of each webpage and you'll have to alter the code in an editor, such as Microsoft Frontpage, or Macromedia Dreamweaver.  Adding keywords and other meta tags to each page is pretty easy and can be done with a minimal time investment.\n\nHowever, just adding keywords isn't going to dramatically improve your search engine results.  For that, you'll need to start getting links into and out of your site.\n\nReciprocal links are links that you exchange with a site, meaning you link to a site and they link to you.  These can help you, but reciprocal links are being discounted by Google and other search engines in favor of one way links.\n\nOne way links are definitely preferable to reciprocals.  Outgoing links where you link to another site are good, because the search engines can guage more of what your site is about by analying the links you have that point to other sites.  But be careful about just dumping a bunch of links into a "Links" page with no content or context for the outgoing links.  Build meaningful content around your links, and they will be more important.\n\nAnother point about outgoing links is that you shouldn't worry about "If someone clicks on a link, they'll leave my site."  This is not something to worry about.  You can have links open in new pages, for one.  But mainly, if someone is going to leave your site, they'll do it with or without a link on your page.  At least a link on your page may allow the visitor to return later, rather than them Xing out of their browser.\n\nIncoming one way links are also important, but the same principles apply.  Don't pay for 100's or 1,000's of incoming links from "link farms," or sites that just post links.  You may want to submit your site to any number of free or paid directories that let you include content about your site, and place your site among hundreds of other relevant sites.\n\nThere are tons of ways to make your site more visible.  Just focus on contributing to the web in meaningful ways.  Blogs, forum posts, article submission sites, press release sites, etc., etc., etc. will all help.\n\nPlus, hopefully you haven't overlooked the basic fundamentals, I hope: submitting to the major directories and search engines, like Google, Yahoo!, the Open Directory Project, etc.\n\nWe've done this before and have doubled our visibility in a few weeks, and continue to contribute to the web in ways we feel are meaningful.  It takes some time in the beginning to get going, but the maintenance once you are set up is minimal and interesting.  You have the chance to learn and grow by your contributions.\n\nGood luck, have fun,\n\nForeclosureFish\nhttp://www.foreclosurefish.com
