A web design company has developed a e-commerce site for me. My site has more then 1000

dynamically generated pages with long URL's such as "fsmain.php?cat_id=1&subcat_id=1".
PageRank = 6 and more than 300 backward links. But Google doesn't want index dynamic pages

of my site. I've found one web resource, that introduce a PHP script, which convert dynamic

URL's into static. http://www.adapturl.com - anybody use it ?

If your site is using sessions for any reason Google will not spider the dynamic links because the session id will be attached to the links. I had this problem with one of my sites, a simple fix is to add a few lines of code to whichever page starts the session and only start it if the host is not googlebot. Within a month of adding it to my site I had over 150 of my dynamic pages indexed by Google.

you might want to try mod rewrite. rewrite all your long url to a shorter .html file.

ACTUALLY...

a combination of what cmonkey AND alvinhan said are the correct answers in your situation. i have a similiar setup and had to do both these things to get goggle running through the site. but the results!... oh yes!

I have worked with many sites (actually all that i have worked with) with dynamic URLs and I really can't figure out the exact formula for when google will index them and when it won't.

It seems to be a combination of the PR of the page the links are on the number of params, and the length of the params.

At this point I have given up trying to diagnose it and just use mod_rewrite/isapirewrite to mask all dynamic urls in areas I want spidered.

Intersting tool @ adapturl.com

Has anyone used it yet ? more reviews on this script is good.

Mod_rewrite is good for you.

I realized that Google usually indexed those sites that are listed with DMOZ, that was what happened in my case. I've 6 web sites, and those that were listed with DMOZ were also indexed by Google. The rest could still be found when searching thro' Google but they do not appear in Google's directory.

How do I find out if google has indexed my site?

Search on Google with "site:www.mysite.com" (of course change mysite to your site and loose the quotes).

I think much better if you'll hire a good programmer for $95.
All you need is: mod_rewrite (pretty easy) and modify your script.

adapturl.com hasn't any info about their product, no demo, no testimonials...

Nice place to find programmer is http://scriptlance.com/ : I've hired one guy there and he made this job for me.

Best of luck,
