I'm writing an ecommerce app in asp.net/vb.net and need to make the pages
searchable and crawlable by spiders, particularly Google's. As far as I
know, if my pages's contents are mostly populated by user controls on a
single page and I call these different controls by passing one or more
parameters like this: myweb.com/default.aspx?MenuID=44, then the spiders
aren't going to be able do to anything with this. asp.net offers lots of
great technology, but if the success of the site depends on people's ability
to find it, then all of this work is to no avail. I'm surprised to find
very little (none actually) threads or documentation about this. the only
information I can find on optimizing a site for search engine ratings are by
non-ms portals and they all talk about static html pages. its like they
never heard of asp.net.
Can anyone help on this under talked about topic?
historically I've built business applications and never had to worry about
his. I spent tons of time building and optimizing the site for usability
and performance, and now that I'm trying to get it indexed by the search
engine, I'm finding that my high performance database driven site wont be
seen by the spiders, or I'm just not finding the right documentation.
