Comment on Dynamic URLs vs Static URLs SEO by SEO Dave.

SEO URLs Google sees a static HTML page when you use software like WordPress that by default uses dynamic URLs, but can be setup to show static like URLs.

So yes Google sees a page like /post_name.html as static even if the ‘real’ URL is /?=page1.

You’ve misinterpreted my explanation regarding WordPress.

Although WordPress is created using a set of theme files (could in theory be from one theme file) that are combined together with a database to form as many pages/posts you’ve created: so a WordPress site with 20,000 posts has the same number of files on the server as one with 2 posts, the posts/pages do not physically exist on the server.

Even if you didn’t use the SEO permalinks option in WordPress, Google will still index each page/post as an independent page, because each one has a unique (dynamic) URL and unique content (if the content isn’t unique you’ll have issues).

Basically it doesn’t make any difference. Google doesn’t care if you have an actual static page, a static like URL (created dynamically, but using mod_rewrite so looks static: note Google etc… can’t tell the difference between an actual static page and a mod_rewrite static like page) or a dynamic URL, Google can still find and index it as a unique page and all three types can rank high as well.

The only important factors with dynamic vs static is spidering speed (static and static like are spidered faster) and static/static like can be better SEO’d:

basically

keyword-rich-page.html

Is better SEO wise than the dynamic equivalents like

index.php?page=1

or

index.php?page=keyword+rich+page

But all three would be spidered and ranked by Google as unique pages as long as they have mostly unique content.
