    php and crowlers... [RESOLVED]

    hello,
    suppose I have a virtualonline store script, and in the store there are some products, each product has a description, the description is stored in a database.

    the page that show the details called "showproductdetails.php" and it recives some parameters in the URL such as:

    showproductdetails.php?prodid=2

    and acording to the prodid it shows the details.

    search engine robots and crowlers (as much as I understand) cannot find this information, and I need to know what is the way to create dynamic pages that crowlers will be able to find all the content of the pages.

    thanks in advanced.

    If the dynamic pages are interlinked and you don't need to submit a form anywhere, the crawlers (at least Google's) will find it.

    what about this:

    what if he interlinks are also coming from a database?
    I mean suppose I have in my site a menu that all the links are dynamicly edited.

    in this case google will find them too?

    Google doesn't know. Your web server delivers HTML pages to the bot, and the bot couldn't care less how they are generated.

    As long as the links are THERE and USABLE, it will follow them. Links generated after the page load by JavaScript cannot be followed (yes, I've seen that).
