Anyone with links to advanced SEO for dynamic sites? That would be a real gem! Seems like the few that are truly knowledgeable, don't give it away.

When dealing with dynamic sites, whether Pearl, ASP, Fusion, etc, as you know, the string urls containing characters that work against the spiders is one of the main issues. 2ndly, the fact that variables have to be chosen to load most pages, this makes it impossible for the crawlers to follow thru to you pages. Though this is not going to cover all of your SEO, I'll give you a cpl tips (not a secrete) that will immediately start helping your SERPS:

1. Static Pages - Create static pages with links to your dynamic pages. You goal is to rank the static page high while having the "Sitemap" function to increase traffic to your dynamic pages.

2. Use one of the many services available to convert your Non-Friendly (# % * &, etc) ulrs into more SE friendly urls.

ulr.com/site/showcode.asp?win=49&#444 is a spiders worst nightmare, but that strung url can be converted to
url.com/site/showcode.asp.code/49/444 which is the ultimate winner.

I'm not sure of your setup, but in most cases, this is the initial route we would take with any client in your situation. Feel free to contact us directly if you need any assistance or would rather have us do the work.

Nice to see a decent article on here.

Cool!!!

good read

Great thread with excellent info.

If you so many of you dick heads never abused the system in the first place, you probably wouldn't have to jump through so many hoops to get your sites ranked high. I blame every problem there is on the internet on most of you guys.

WTF are you on about?

i have another question about networks of sites

everywhere i read ways people are trying to hide from google that a certain site is part of a network with some other sites

but what about if youre trying to make a network of sites? is there a penalty for linking your own sites together, and by that keeping them around your network?

id imagine people visiting more often and clicking around would outweight the disadvantage of links coming from a single owner - im not talking about different ips, i mean if sites are on different ips and different servers a lot of people are saying to link them up so they dont look like a network, but why?

2bet, your 2bet.com site shows a webair landing page. Did you let it go?

Nice post Marketsmart, very thorough.
