Loads of content still not getting indexed

[sundaybluez]

Hi,

I have a few SEO queries worring me for quite a long time now, i hope they will be cleared over here


# QUERY A
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have done url re-writing for my websites. For SEO friendly urls i have convert my dynamic url's, into one's which looks something like below

http://www. xyz.com/ business_news/blue-blends-india-reports-net-loss-of-rs-2-35-crore-in-the-june-2007-quarter-16418.html


I have used the content title and content id in my url and attached ".html" at the end of it so the crawler considers it to be a static page.

Is this sort of URL rewriting considered to be negative(bad trick), will i be penalized by Google for it.
Does it really help me achieve good search engine traffic ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


# QUERY B
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have affiliated with one of the website and the content for it is been served in <iframes> as well as raw text data.

Now i have used <iframe> solution on my homepage as it always keeps my site updated, while i have generated static HTML pages inside a folder and the link for it is been provided to the inner static section from the homepage.

I have matched the homepage link color to it's background as i don't really want users to show any outdated content.

The pages inside have not yet been crawled by Google, the bot has visited for quite a few times now but nothing is getting indexed.
It's been over a month now, I have tried submitting Google Sitemaps but no success as yet.

Can anyone guide me on where i am going wrong using the above given tricks on a website which is quite content rich having about 13K news articles and still not getting indexed, can anyone please help me out of this hole.


Have a nice day you all.

Regards,
Nilesh

As long as the URL rewrite goes it is good thing to do.

For the content being served from other site. My first question would be that is it unique content being served to you? Or is it just being scraped from some other place and then delivered to you? Next would be that as it is served in iframe I think you can integrate it in the file itself if your pages are using server side scripting language like php.

Thanks.

Thanks for your kind reply Nick

I am buying news from well know source paying a good amount of money, per day i recieve about 75 news/articles/reports each.
As the news is generated on daily bases so cant really say that its been duplicated but there may be other sites also buying the same content.......might be 6-7 more other sources buying it as text feeds

Being into development myself sometime back I have written a PHP script connecting the source FTP server fetching it and then dumping to my db.

The homepage take other elements like the sensex graph, stock price ticker and other. I though of manually doing it but then it means re-inventing the whole wheel again.On practical grounds was not possible for me as amount of time required + dev resources and $ to be spend was very high.

So i decide to buy news articles as text feeds and use then as SEO material to pull traffic to the site.

Thanks & Regards,
Nilesh

just because it has html for an extension does not mean the crawler considers it to be static. Crawlers handle pages with .php .html .asp in exactly the same way.

Well i know and agree completely about that Amnezia, but can anyone help me point out what exactly has gone wrong with the SEO strategy used by me

RE: Query "A" No, it is not a bad trick. It is fine.

RE: Query "B", this is not enough information to say what is wrong. Frames are sometimes problematic, and hidden text is always risky.

Google is actively limiting inclusion to sites and pages that contribute value to the web. If you don't give Google signals of quality for your pages, it won't do well. Signals would include natural backlinks to select pages and unique content, for example.
