Comment on Dynamic URLs vs Static URLs SEO by Carrick @ Peg Perego Infant Car Seat.
Hey there! Thanks for this site and for offering so many tips.
Just one question: Do the search engines regard a POST (with a permalink structure setup so that posts look like www.domain.com/post_name.html) as a static HTML page?
When I add a post with my permalinks setup like this, it appears to me (looking at the URL) that it is a unique page within the site, but does Google see it the same way?
I ask because I want to properly optimize my site and I know that each PAGE should be optimized around only one main keyword. I’m just not sure if creating posts optimized around on main keyword would be indexed by the search engines the same as if I had created a new page all together, or if I should create new PAGES rather than posts…
I interpret your explanation here as that any WordPress based site is essentially just a one-page site, with that page dynamically generated. Thus a POST is essentially the same as a PAGE in this context. That said, when one uses WP to ‘add a page’, is WP actually creating a second instance of the template, thus the site now really has two pages? Not sure what the SEO benefit of this would be if Google interprets the post as a page anyway??
Thanks so much in advance!
Carrick
