Creating Static Pages from Dynamic Sources

[Thomas A. Rowe]

You would have to buy a application that is installed on the server that would generate static
pages, and then keep them up to date.

Why do you feel your SEO is being affected by the use of dynamic pages?

I have a database (with records in it - of course) and that data is
displayed dynamically displayed through one webpage via ASP. Not that I want
to change that page, that page will stay, but to increase my SEO, I would
like to create a page (based on a template that matches the dynamic page)
for each record in the database.

Does anyone know how I could do this with FrontPage? I am using FP2003. The
database is in Access.

Thanks,
Mike

You can populate the Page Title, Keywords and Description tags from the database on the current
single page that you have, and this would help with the search engines.

Here is a way to convert your dynamic pages to static pages:

You can more resources, by typing the following into your IE Address bar as:

The top 3 (Google, Yahoo, MSN) will. The main key is to keep any QueryStrings to a single parameter
unless you want to pay for inclusion.

Why do you feel your SEO is being affected by the use of dynamic pages?

Because the search engines only see one page. I have over 9,000 articles in
the database. If I create a page for each one, using the keyword and
description field from the article entry in the meta tags, I would be much
more visible to the search engines. Searching my database is slow and the
search engines pass it by.

For the meantime, what program would I get to do this, and skipping the
server side program, is there a program that I could do this manually with
from time to time?

How aggressive are the bots anyhow? Will they search out my whole database?
