Hi there all,

I'm about to develop a site with a DB backend & I want to know how one goes about doing organic SEO if most of the site is DB driven.

There will be some text on the page, but certain things that are pulled from the DB, won't actually be in html/xhtml on the site.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & have a great wknd.

Michelle

Michelle,
I assume you're speaking of Search Engine Optimization? As far as I understand it SEO works best by having the right words in the right places. Since you're saying there's not going to be a lot of text on the page, other factors come in, such as META tags. Another trick i just thought of is having keywords on your page that are the same color as the background. Kind of an ugly hack, but it might get you some more hits. i found this website on google that might help you out. Good luck.

Please, don't do the "hidden words" thing. It's extremely irritating to people who notice them.

No, I wouldn't do that as I don't like testing out the SEs only to be booted & yes, SE stands for search engines.

Thanks

Michelle
