  Smile Seo dynamic site advice please?

Hello, i was wondering if someone could give me some tips please. . .

I am finnishing development of my new hotel comparison site. As is the way with such sites most of the content is from feeds and either loaded dynamicaly or from a database. I want to keep my site clean and tidy but am aware that google or any spider will find my site very empty in terms of pages and text. Im thinking i will have to create lots of static pages around the hotels, the area, event guides etc.

Has anyone else had these problems / seo'd a comparison/dynamic site?

Many thanks for any advice.

The easy solution is to use fields in the database as part of the content used to populate the TITLE, KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION tags - then repeat for the H1 tag and the first text appearing after the H1.

If it is loaded dynamically, opt for static content in the above areas and update only when seasons change, etc.

Having static pages with loads of content for the spiders is always a plus and make sure that these pages are included in both the xml site map for spiders and the site map for humans. Search engines can't follow the dynamic 'links' created within forms so also add any dynamic URLs which are constant over the short term, updating as necessary.

Rewriting URLs so that they look like static URLs at either root level or no deeper than first level directory is also a plus.

I usually block the bots from any URLs that are likely to change on each update of the database - helps to keep dead pages out of the SERPs.

PM me with your site address - test site if you want any specific advice.
