That's a myth:

Dynamic URLs vs. static URLs

Quote:

Chatting with webmasters often reveals widespread beliefs that might have been accurate in the past, but are not necessarily up-to-date any more. This was the case when we recently talked to a couple of friends about the structure of a URL. One friend was concerned about using dynamic URLs, since (as she told us) "search engines can't cope with these." Another friend thought that dynamic URLs weren't a problem at all for search engines and that these issues were a thing of the past. One even admitted that he never understood the fuss about dynamic URLs in comparison to static URLs....

Should I try to make my dynamic URLs look static?
Following are some key points you should keep in mind while dealing with dynamic URLs:
  1. It's quite hard to correctly create and maintain rewrites that change dynamic URLs to static-looking URLs.
  2. It's much safer to serve us the original dynamic URL and let us handle the problem of detecting and avoiding problematic parameters.
  3. If you want to rewrite your URL, please remove unnecessary parameters while maintaining a dynamic-looking URL.
  4. If you want to serve a static URL instead of a dynamic URL you should create a static equivalent of your content.

Which can Googlebot read better, static or dynamic URLs?
We've come across many webmasters who, like our friend, believed that static or static-looking URLs were an advantage for indexing and ranking their sites. This is based on the presumption that search engines have issues with crawling and analyzing URLs that include session IDs or source trackers. However, as a matter of fact, we at Google have made some progress in both areas. While static URLs might have a slight advantage in terms of clickthrough rates because users can easily read the urls, the decision to use database-driven websites does not imply a significant disadvantage in terms of indexing and ranking. Providing search engines with dynamic URLs should be favored over hiding parameters to make them look static.

Let's now look at some of the widespread beliefs concerning dynamic URLs and correct some of the assumptions which spook webmasters. :)

Myth: "Dynamic URLs cannot be crawled."
Fact: We can crawl dynamic URLs and interpret the different parameters. We might have problems crawling and ranking your dynamic URLs if you try to make your urls look static and in the process hide parameters which offer the Googlebot valuable information. One recommendation is to avoid reformatting a dynamic URL to make it look static. It's always advisable to use static content with static URLs as much as possible, but in cases where you decide to use dynamic content, you should give us the possibility to analyze your URL structure and not remove information by hiding parameters and making them look static.

Myth: "Dynamic URLs are okay if you use fewer than three parameters."
Fact: There is no limit on the number of parameters, but a good rule of thumb would be to keep your URLs short (this applies to all URLs, whether static or dynamic). You may be able to remove some parameters which aren't essential for Googlebot and offer your users a nice looking dynamic URL. If you are not able to figure out which parameters to remove, we'd advise you to serve us all the parameters in your dynamic URL and our system will figure out which ones do not matter. Hiding your parameters keeps us from analyzing your URLs properly and we won't be able to recognize the parameters as such, which could cause a loss of valuable information.

Following are some questions we thought you might have at this point.

Does that mean I should avoid rewriting dynamic URLs at all?
That's our recommendation, unless your rewrites are limited to removing unnecessary parameters, or you are very diligent in removing all parameters that could cause problems. If you transform your dynamic URL to make it look static you should be aware that we might not be able to interpret the information correctly in all cases. If you want to serve a static equivalent of your site, you might want to consider transforming the underlying content by serving a replacement which is truly static. One example would be to generate files for all the paths and make them accessible somewhere on your site. However, if you're using URL rewriting (rather than making a copy of the content) to produce static-looking URLs from a dynamic site, you could be doing harm rather than good. Feel free to serve us your standard dynamic URL and we will automatically find the parameters which are unnecessary.

Hosted by Godaddy, I just added a line in the .htaccess file :
RewriteBase /
thank you so much

What would that do?

I mean wouldn't it be better to use something like this?

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoururl\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoururl.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Probably. But in my case I use virtual domains on Go Daddy. So I need to add Rewritebase / in the .htaccess file. Now it works for me.

It depends on how the server is configured. On some servers, you need to specify

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

so the entire set would look like this:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

If your server doesn't need it, it won't do any harm; if it does need it, it may not work (or won't work correctly) without those additions.

That's a different add-on. See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=194829

so i installed this with a 3.8.1 forum last night and the password forums are not able to be accessed

this was a bug in 2.2.2 and its still not fixed.
Any idea how to fix this?

ComputerVitals 03-08-2009 03:34 PM

Hope someone can help with an issue I have with the SEO.

It's been working flawlessly.
But my host has switched from Apache to LiteSpeed.

Since then I have been having Database errors like crazy. I have narrowed it down to the Zoints SEO. If I disable the SEO the Database errors go away. I can re enable and it will be fine for awhile. But DB errors will continue. More specifically, I can leave it enabled, just turn off the "Rewrite URLs" feature.

If I enable the mod_rewrite feature, then I get error 404.

Any IDeas?
