Website SEO Optimization: Tutorial Part I - Website Pseudo Static

by xxpcp on 2009-01-01 22:45:42

The pseudo-static of a website is actually a completely different concept from generating static files.

It's just a URL transformation done through an ISAPI filter; in reality, there isn't such an HTML file in your website’s files.

So, does this really have any effect on SEO?

Below, I'll discuss this with everyone.

Firstly, this involves the process by which search engines index your web pages onto their hard drives.

Do they index the files of your web pages? Or do they browse your web pages through URLs, capture the code, and then index that code?

I speculate it should be the latter. This can be clearly seen by looking at snapshots from Baidu and others.

Regarding the role of pseudo-static websites, many people have various opinions.

Their answers are often vague—either saying it might be useful, or saying it has no effect, or even more ambiguously, that generating static files is better.

In my opinion, pseudo-static is exactly the same concept as generating static files for search engines. This is because search engines index your site through the URL of your webpage. If the URL is static, the search engine will also consider your webpage to be static.

Of course, this is just my personal view—it's not authoritative or carefully considered. However, based on Qiu Lao's methods, pseudo-static is indeed a good way to compensate for the shortcoming of your website's inability to generate HTML files.
