Hi,
New here...I hang out a bit at sitepoint and follow Chris around for his search engine wisdom :)
Anyway...I run a site that sells custom graphic designs. I have been beaten to death in the search engine wars but am just about hanging in there.
I have 2 new initiatives.
1. PHPBB pre-sales forum. Search engine friendly hack using mod rewrite and some session code.
This seems to be going nice as I have added about 70 pages to google in the last month. Nice...keyword loaded pages and traffic is now arriving from there.
My other initiative is a Amazon site that lists graphic design stuff...books and software etc. I am after the keyword rich reviews :)
Anyway...I took the plunge after doing very little research (I know...I had had a few that night) anyway..I now have Amazon Store Builder which does use Mod Rewrite.
The problem I have is that I just want to link to the juicy searches nothing else. The problem is that the search creates a massive php search string that I know google is not happy with. I want to turn this search string and the resulting pages into a friendly url for google.
All the pages in the search are already friendly. It is just the search string itself that sucks.
Any advice? Help?
Am I even doing the right thing. I reckon if I do it correct I can add maybe 2-3000 pages to my site with some great keywords. Will this put me in better standing in the search results?
Anyway...thanks for listening.
Simon
