Two versions of a page

[WDC]

HI all,

Please consider if this is possible. Suppose I have a CMS driven website and different page are generated through then CMS say for category and items under particular category. Can I have the site structure in a way that category pages have two version one in id=1 etc and one HTML page whereas items under category pages remain dynamic


Can this cause duplicate content issue in search engines particularly Google.com

why not use mod_rewrite to make dynamic urls appear static?

e.g.

http://sitename.com/products/Blue-Car/53/

would pass the following values:

products = product.php
Blue-Car = Product Name (string)
53 = Unique Product ID in Database

You can then use these strings/parameters as if they were passed like this:

http://sitename.com/products.php?Pro...r&ProductID=53

I agree with the Allen Suggestion. Make the dynamic pages static by using the htaacess file with that there is no issue of duplicate content.
