SEO and pages created on the fly.
I have a database from which 600 pages can be created accordingly to three different sets of criteria that can be selected.
An individual page is displayed after making a specific selection from the search results.
This page is created on the fly from the database and is presented in html format.
I am concerned about this approach because I think it is not good for SEO.
The spiders when visiting the site do not see the 600 pages which are only compiled on the fly.
There they do not add brownie points for the good and relevant content that is available but is not displayed to the spiders because it is still in the database.
Amy I correct?
Any comments and suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks

No i mean create a flat html file, with the information. Then when the data updates in the database, regenerate the html file. It's how magento works actually. Now, if you're asking me how to do it, I defer to another expert. Or I might be not correctly understanding your question.

But this is academic. If the spiders cant see the page because it is only generated on the fly it is academic whether it is properly optimised or not.
The page is presented to the user not to the spiders.
