Good morning #all,
I've created a tiny cms system where users can create their own websites. Every user gets a subdomain like mywebsite.mycmsystem.com. That works really well. The websites are generated dinamically through a php script, but got static html urls throug mod_rewrite. So an URL has mywebsite.mycmsystem.com/home_1234.html instead of mywebsite.mycmsystem.com/page.php?id=1234
I thought that would be better for search engines. Now the problem is that google won't really crawl through all the websites from the users. Is there a way to tell google where to find all the websites or something like this? I searched for hours in the web, but couldn't find something really useful.
Best regards,
Lukas
The numbers in the URL are not causing your indexing issues. URLs with numbers are indexed and crawled just fine.
The best way to tell the search engines about your pages is an XML sitemap.

Is there any consensus on the best practice of path vs page url structures (for simple, relatively static sites), in terms of usability and SEO?
e.g.
http://mysite.com/about.html
vs
http://mysite.com/about/
Where the about folder contains index.html
It would seem in terms of usability, esp. sharing and linking, that the path approach is much better (predicated upon the approach of only sharing the url up to the slash after the folder, and not including the index.html), albeit more complex in terms of organization - and that the page approach is better for SEO.
Also I've never quite understood the difference between
http://mysite.com/about/
and
http://mysite.com/about/index.html
Will the first always redirect to the second, therefore slowing things down? And when sharing the first type of url, should/must one always include the slash?
Thanks

I created an website. For a week I had an under-construction-page, google did find that paged and indexed it. My question is: How did google find my site, while there were no links to this site and the name has never been used before?
Your domain name went in a domain name server. Google probably found it there.
There are so many websites that automatically gather Whois information of domain names with complete information about them. If you are pretty sure that you have never shown your domain to Google, i guess these websites did this.
You browser (Chrome) or your browser's plugin might have sent an anonimous report of your browsing statistics to Google - you did open your site in a browser right?
You weren't using a robots.txt file blocking Google.

We provide a link (example http://indiapriceinfo.in/getbeststore?mobile_id=76340 ) which redirects user to the online store which is selling it at best price (so the redirection link will lead you to different store on different days).
We use these kind of links on multiple domains with 302 redirection. But they all redirect using indiapriceinfo.in, like the above.
Is this bad for SEO? If it is then whats the best pratice to do it.
A 302 redirect is exactly what you should be doing since the redirects are temporary. The fact that the links all point to pages on the same domain is irrelvant as the links are judged on a per page basis, not per site. So indiapriceinfo.in won't gain anything as a domain SEO wise from these links.

I'm considering to use url pattern like below:
example.com/item/r6B0PmUmx07O/just-one-item
example.com/item/r6B0PGgwPJWl/yet-another-item
the part before slug is an unique and unpredictable id for an item.
compare with url like
example.com/item/1001/just-one-item
example.com/item/1002/yet-another-item
is this way bad for SEO?
or will it be bad for crawling by the search engine?(since the crawler cannot 'guess' the next item's id)
I'm not sure how many popular crawlers try to increment number values in URL to hit the page.
They generaly try to traverse by links.
But consider hiding some info from malicious users. If you can reach any info about your users (by example.com/user/1001) there is generally wrong idea to have sequential UID's. It's not mean to be a part of security but sometimes it's good to difficult access to your data. So the competition will have some difficulties when guessing how much products you have on stock :)
Consider supplying dynamical sitemap with links to all your products. This make you sure that every crawler will hit all your items no matter what key it has.

I am currently finishing up my first ASP.NET MVC application and would like to implement site searching. What are some options for allowing a visitor to search the site?
Lucene.NET
Answers to the following questions may help...
Is most/all content public, or login-protected? (i.e. can Google index it?) Or, would a "search appliance" be an alternative (though $$)?
If you want to use full-text search, how many different tables/columns need to be searched? What would your queries look like, if using LINQ? :)
Are common search terms represented in the page URLs? If doing custom searching, can you also search these, possibly with higher weight than in-page content?
You could use Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express. Its free and works of intranet apps.
