Google doesn't want index my site!

Anybody use url-convertion script?

[Pavlus]

A web design company has developed a e-commerce site for me. My site has more then 1000 dynamically generated pages with long URL's such as "fsmain.php?cat_id=1&subcat_id=1".

PageRank = 6 and more than 300 backward links. But Google doesn't want index dynamic pages of my site. I've found one web resource, that introduce a PHP script, which convert dynamic URL's into static. [snip] - anybody use it?

If you are useing cookies or sesion cookies that may be your real cause, Google doesn't want them.

right cookies and sessions can really cut down your position with SE's

if you want to convert dynamic to static, use Mod_Rewrite (Check the Apache Forum)

# file .htaccess (nothing before the .)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule fsmain/(.*)/(.*) fsmain.php?cat_id=$1&subcat_id=$2

www.site.com/fsmain/myCat/someSUBcat

gets redirected to

www.site.com/fsmain.php?cat_id=myCat&subcat_id=someSUBcat

Is this true? I would have thought most large sites would use cookies or sessions - what's the alternative for remembering user names etc?

The point is that you don't have to track usernames for search engines. A check for the user agent can determine whether the browser is a search engine, and then don't start a session or give a cookie. Just let the search engine roam the pages it can access without being logged in.

Can you tell me how to check whether the browser is a SE with php?

Thanks.
