crosscreek -> getting search engine to search database results (4/7/2008 15:58:56)

Not sure if this post needs to be here or in the webdesign page.

I have a pedigree database where people can research lab pedigrees. Well naturally I can get the index page be be spidered by search engines. But I also want my site to come up if someone is seaching for a particular dog in the database.

The first page is .htm all others are .asp with scripts. (VB & ASP) So naturally search engines will not see any value in my scripts.

Do I need to create a site map with all the dogs in the database & hyperlink to each page?

Will search engines spider asp pages? or does it need to be a .htm page?

Thanks

Yes it will spider asp pages, but you will need a site map.
As all the results are in a database, it would be quite simple to produce a page of all results with querystring hyperlinks to each individual page.
It would need to be linked from one of the spidered pages initially though.
