Can WP make static pages instead of dynamic

WP 1.3 (currently under development) supports static pages – just for your information! ??

It is amazing how the field of SEO is full of people with half formed misapprehensions who go a long way and earn a lot of money simply by knowing slightly more than everybody else about some of it. WP is awesome for search engines.There is no basis at all for the generalised assertions which have been made. And any one who knows the first thing about search engine algorithms could explain why. Frankly you and WP are streets ahead of the client. It might be a difficult one for you.

i just love that https://www.yoursite.com/post/1004/04/14/this-is-my-post is actually a web page…
killin’ me…

The issue here is not wether the pages are static or dynamic. The issues is what the search engines see in the URL that can help your page be viewed as more relevant to the search engines. Search engines will index dynamic pages such as https://www.yoursite.com/index?p=”page_title”, but they will ignore anything after the ? in considering relevancy. If your page is relevant for a particular keyword based on the your page’s title and content you could still come up in the search results for that keyword. However, if you were to rewrite the URL to read https://www.yoursite.com/page_title you would be even more likely to show up for that keyword if that keyword were part of the page_title in the url, because the search engines would see that and consider it in detmining relevancy. Although the page is still a dynamic page it would still be just as search engine friendly as the static page https://www.yoursite.com/page_title.html would be.

Yes, for the most part you’re correct csandb. Now can we stop pulling year old (and older) forum threads out of the dead pile?
