I’m using a WordPress plugin called SEO Super Comments with my own code changes and it uses larger comments to create pages like the one above.

Give it a week and you’ll find that page will be indexed in Google, try a site search to see-

site:http://www.seo-consultant-services.co.uk/ cid

Just activated the SEO Super Comments plugin on this site, but been running it a while at other sites, try this search in Google:

site:http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/ cid

You can see over 70 of that sites comments have an individual page indexed in Google.

Search Google for “Individual AdSense channel IDs” and one of the comments is number one. Another comment page is top 10 for “AdSense Style Clickbank Ads”, so Google ranks them.

So yes Google sees a page like /post_name.html as static even if the ‘real’ URL is /?=page1.

You’ve misinterpreted my explanation regarding WordPress.

Although WordPress is created using a set of theme files (could in theory be from one theme file) that are combined together with a database to form as many pages/posts you’ve created: so a WordPress site with 20,000 posts has the same number of files on the server as one with 2 posts, the posts/pages do not physically exist on the server.

Even if you didn’t use the SEO permalinks option in WordPress, Google will still index each page/post as an independent page, because each one has a unique (dynamic) URL and unique content (if the content isn’t unique you’ll have issues).

Basically it doesn’t make any difference. Google doesn’t care if you have an actual static page, a static like URL (created dynamically, but using mod_rewrite so looks static: note Google etc… can’t tell the difference between an actual static page and a mod_rewrite static like page) or a dynamic URL, Google can still find and index it as a unique page and all three types can rank high as well.

The only important factors with dynamic vs static is spidering speed (static and static like are spidered faster) and static/static like can be better SEO’d:

basically

keyword-rich-page.html

Is better SEO wise than the dynamic equivalents like

index.php?page=1

or

index.php?page=keyword+rich+page

But all three would be spidered and ranked by Google as unique pages as long as they have mostly unique content.

Just one question: Do the search engines regard a POST (with a permalink structure setup so that posts look like www.domain.com/post_name.html) as a static html page?

When I add a post with my permalinks setup like this, it appears to me (looking at the URL) that it is a unique page within the site, but does Google see it the same way?

I ask because I want to properly optimize my site and I know that each PAGE should be otpimized around only one main keyword. I’m just not sure if creating posts optimized around on main keyword would be indexed by the search engines the same as if I had created a new page all together, or if I should create new PAGES rather than posts…

I interpret your explanation here as that any wordpress based site is essentially just a one-page site, with that page dynamically generated. Thus a POST is essentially the same as a PAGE in this context. That said, when one uses WP to ‘add a page’, is WP actually creating a second instance of the template, thus the site now really has two pages? Not sure what the SEO benefit of this would be if Google interprets the post as a page anyway??

Thanks so much in advance!

Also, Drupal has an excellent mod-rewrite module in it that I find very appealing.

I have some articles I’ve written on this subject, including, google hates dynamic URLs http://www.seoproinfo.com/google-hates-dynamic-urls.html, the History of Session IDs and SIDs are Spider Killers http://www.seoproinfo.com/sids-are-spider-killers.html that you may find interesting.

It converts an entire dynamic site into a static site while SEOing the web-pages.

It gives you nice RAR file with all the static pages to upload anywhere you like.
