Hello!
This is my first post in this forum so please, bare with me if I sound stupid.
I am thinking of creating a page that should present online poker and casino-news. The thing is that I want this page to get as much hits as possible on google and such, but I really don’t know what I should think about when creating the page.
Is it okay for me to have all the reviews in a database, and then present them with php? So I only have ONE page for presenting A review, but it can be many different ones. Will this have any affect on my google-results?
Or should I create each review as a new .html file? like “casinosfortunecasino.html” that will contain the review for that specific casino?
What is the best alternative?
The same thing about rss-feeds, will that be read by the “spiders” correctly? since the data is generated when the page is read.
Please excuse me if I sound stupid. I have only worked as an affiliate in a very small scale and only a few casinos/poker rooms.
Best regards,
Nobody is considered stupid on CAP. I am pretty new at this as well. But what i would do first leave google out don’t even think of them. Create one page with descriptive links which links to other sub pages with the full article. Give the page a title along with a brief intro, body which would include you descriptive links then some sort of conclusion. Now think about google, optimize the best you can the one page that links to the full articles.
I think you would have some success doing it this way. Also do honest writing, don’t even take a glance at other websites. Afterwords pick your keywords out from you content. I never use keyword diggers. I just write the content and go from there. Greek39
Welcome deg,
In my book theres no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers, so i’ll try not look stupid.

There is nothing wrong with this, and is how most CMS’s do things. The one negative here from a Google point of view is the URL used to portray each different page. For instance, index.php?cat=review&type=casino&name=slotland is not as good as /review/casino/slotland. The only way i know of to get around this is by using mod rewrite on a linux server.Q.

Google likes pages that get updated regularly. The google spider visits my site almost every day so the rss feed shouldn’t be a problem. The one issue i have with a page that gets updated often is that the search term the page gets indexed for might not be on the page by the time the user gets to it. You need to make sure you have very clear site navigation for when this happens, which in my case is quite often since my index page gets updated every day.Thanks a lot for the quick answer!

So what you are saying is that it would be better to create each review as a different html-file, rather than having one review.php?id=1919 that generates each review based on the ID?
Of course this will be a lot more difficult to maintain and a lot more work to create, but if it is worth the effort I will most likely do it.Another question
About the php-include which is also serverbased, if you open the .php file in notepad it will say something like but on serverside it enters the whole code for 123.php. Will this have an affect on google too?Excuse my bad english, i’m unfortunately from Sweden
“So what you are saying is that it would be better to create each review as a different html-file, rather than having one review.php?id=1919 that generates each review based on the ID?”
You can do this in php, dynamically generating a different url for each page. If you don’t know php all that well you’re better off using a cms or blog engine such as Joomla, WordPress etc. You can set them up to display search engine friendly urls for your pages.

All google will see is the Html that is generated by your php code. All you need to concern yourself with is how the URL’s look for each dynamically generated page.Excuse my bad english, i’m unfortunately from Sweden
Your English seems pretty good to me.
