APEX and SEO - Search Engine Optimization

488542Jan 21 2007
Dear all

I'd like to optimize my APEX site for search engines to increase the site's traffic. I've found the following ways:

1.) Page Title contains reasonable words. It can be also dynamically generated i.e. the page attribute has a value e.g. &P38_INTEREST_NAME.

2.) Page Header contains <meta name="keywords" content="..."> and
<meta name="description" content="..."> tags. Accidentally I haven't succedded to build the header's content dynamically, &ABC. format doen't work.

3.) Page Items tagged "Strong", if they contain the values strongly related to the page content.

4.) Google sitemap (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html) is generated via an Application Process.

I wonder if you have found another ways?????

The key question is "How to build search engines-friendly URLs" as described also at 1232326 (e.g. how to hide the session info, every SEO guide warn against them). Why?

1.) It increase the probability that search engines will really go through the whole site.
2.) It enables other sites to easily link to your site (see how many links link to particular wikipedia.org pages, e.g http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart). It increases the site traffic directly (the users follow these links at other sites) and indirectly (search engines rank better the pages with large number of these back-links).

Thanks for whatever suggestion

Roman
