I am trying to create a real estate website and for SEO reasons I would like to have a separate page for each (at least the popular) subdivision that gives details about each one. Each will have it's own url ("/april_sound_info.php") or whatever but to make things easier on me I would like to set this page up using php feeding from a mySQL database. Now, I know the spiders cannot follow ? and & but this instance would not have that. I would just copy the page, rename it and change one piece of code to automatically pull the info from the db. Does this sound like it is SEO-friendly? Any better suggestions?

    Will you be pulling listings or just information about the subdivision? How will you manage the information in the database?

    It seems that you can benefit from using a platform that would give you the ability to set what will end up in the url, description, and title. Something like Wordpress can do this for you easily if you are not dealing with listings.

    A little more information on the content you will be pulling will likely solicit more responses.

    Thanks,

    Vince

      It depends on the CMS you are going to use to build the site. If you are using Joomla or Drupal for example, the URLs with query string parameters following the ? can be converted into search engine friendly URLs if you tweak the setting within the CMS.

      Please note that search engines today are far more advanced and can read query string parameters. But do not put a session id in the URL as that can create huge amount of content duplication.
