Hi
I'm working on a ecommerce site and our products are dynamically generated into the shop via a database - so there's obviously a problem with the search engines reading the content. Therefore, the software company that built the platform has cunningly development a marketing plug-in (at a high price to it's customers) that creates static html pages (with meta tages) from the content that is already stored on the existing website pages and exports them into an index file - the purpose is to enable the spiders to crawl these HTML pages and index them. So, if a person seaches for a partcular product that is within our store, this should automatically bring up the product HTML page within the search result (many of the products aren't sold on a large scale). Once a person clicks on the search link, they come through to the html page which then refreshes leading them to the webpage within the main site - i.e. to the dynamically generated webpage.
This plug-in has generated over 100 html pages into a directory of links and all I need to do is submit the directory link to google and other search engines which will then come and crawl all the links within the directory and index the pages.....easy stuff. However, it's now been 6 weeks since I submitted the links to google and still nothing - After this long winded email - is there a problem with this and how do I get google to crawl these pages and index them. The link I have to submit is
http://www.mycompany.com/isroot/myc...talogindex.html Which as you see is a catalogue index file. I also have another for a product idex file.
If this isn't too confusing, can anyone help steer me in the right direction.
