  • It’s very simple to do, but it won’t be any good as a long-term strategy.

    Google will see all of those pages as duplicate content. They are the same apart from a place name, and Google is getting smarter all the time.

    Now, as for how to do it… It’s just a query string. Notice this in the URL?

    website-design.php?WebsiteDesign=City

    The query string parameter for WebsiteDesign is what does it. In the example above The city name is jsut taken from that URL value. For a bit of fun, try this…

    https://www.shalesh.co.za/website_design/website-design.php?WebsiteDesign=That%20Sucks ??

    Then you just need to use $_GET[‘WebsiteDesign’] to output the value. That’s all there is to it.

    Thats for replying,

    But if google is so smart how did he get google to list all this duplicate pages? Are they seen as duplicate? I’m just so confused at how this knob got indexed everywhere and for years wihtout them picking it up

    Well, if you’re worries, one good thing to do is stop pushing the link like you’re doing now!

    We can’t answer why it’s working at this point (it won’t work forever). You would need to ask Google about that. No one else would know a real answer.
