Making dynamic pages indexable

What is the best way to make a form result page (possible self-results/same page) indexable for the search engines?

- What besides a dynamic title and results should be there?

I have a static form on an index page passing variables to itself/the same page, but the variable results are not getting indexed.

So, thinking part of the problem is that search engines like Google don't want to index variable results pages that are actually the site index page -- I'm moving it to a dedicated secondary page.

this page will be accessible from both other pages that pass variables to it, and, will also have a static form passing variables onto its own page.

Depending on what your URL's look like you can make use of htaccess files. These can modify the URL to make them more user-friendly and more SE friendly.

There are a number of good tutorials on the internet which can be useful just try googling

Hi Yuleg.
The problem here is Google and the others only follow very basic forms. Now take your example you have a form that submits to itself. So even if Google could follow it what use is it to Google, and the others, site visitors? None. Why? because they then have to re-search your form to find the information they want and most people wont do that. They expect the search engines to return a page with the information right in front of them, they dont want to do the work to find it.

To get it indexed you are right it needs to be a seperate page with plain links that pass the varaibles over. Google and the others don't mind small varaible URLs (upto a maximum of 6). Thats a misconception that they do and url rewritting will help if you have more than 6 parameters, however it is not needed.

Just a plain text link is to a seperate page.

Jaza
