How do I get Google to crawl my content when it's only displayed when you fill in a form?
- by Sarang Patil
I have a webpage. It has a form and the "results" section is blank. When the user searches for items, and a list that pops up, he/she chooses one option from list and then the corresponding results are displayed in results section.
I once decided to log every ip,url of person with time that visits my page.
One ip was 66.249.73.26, and on doing google search I came to know it is ip
of google bot.
link for whatmyipaddress google bot
Now when I searched for the links that this ip visited, it was like this:
search?id=100
search?id=110
...
search?id=200
...
then afterwards it incremented in steps of 1, like 400,401..
But people search for strings and not numbers. And because googlebot searches for numbers like this, I think the corresponding content is never displayed and so
my page content is never indexed, even though it has rich content.
So I want to ask you is that in order to show google bot all the content that the webpage has, should I list all the results in index page and ask users to enter string to filter results?
