Database submission to search engines

Back in the days of DMX and dreamweaver there was an extension to allow search engines to index your database.
Is this available in Wappler or is there some code I can add into the page to allow this to happen?

I have over 10,000 dynamic products I would like submitting on one of my new sites.

I believe Google already indexes dynamic pages. Using friendly links (routing) might make it easier.

As I really only do back end stuff I don’t ever have to worry about search engines so I could be wrong but this is my understanding. Perhaps if @psweb is kicking around here he would be able to answer it. He seems to be our resident SEO guru.

@brad thanks for the reply
yes I thought that, but I’ve done a site index this morning and it does not pick up anything that has the routes on or dynamic product.
Was a little confusing @psweb if you could throw any light on it, that would be appreciated.

By the way, I’ve put a test page on Google a couple of weeks ago without doing any submissions, it only contains dynamic data for title, description and content.
Try googling: wappler seo test page

Comes up top of the search! :grin:

that’s interesting. So you did not submit any site index or create a site index?

Nope, nothing. Google just indexed it a couple of days after I uploaded the page.

This is going to be interesting when I put the new site up. Fingers crossed.

by the way @Teodor is there a walk though to get a search bar like the one on wapper?
I would like on my new site for it to have a dropdown that does not push the other content down (z-index, I assume) similar to wappler’s.

I’ll check this as soon as I get back to the office on Friday :slight_smile: currently off for a few days, on my phone.

One very important piece of information that search engines look for is the title of the document. I see that you have
<meta name="title" dmx-bind:content="{{serverconnect1.data.query1[0].Description}}">
without having any effect.

When I create a table for my products, I always include
image
with the hope that one day I will be able to dynamically populate those meta tags. That is what is required for proper SEO.

Also noteworthy is that the wappler seo test page has a secure (HTTPS) server. This always attracts better ratings.

Cheers Ben. Is there anyway you know of to get the Meta Title to show the dynamic data?

Try changing the App Root to Page instead of Body


Then under the DOM add he title text to Dynaic Attributes
