You can have a nighly job that creates plain jsp's per content, that
link/redirect to your dynamic content.
You can have mutiple domains/boxes with this "static/artifical" content,
thus increasing ranking.
( I write async. jobs in Groovy myself... you can use Python or ..
grrr... Java)
When robots come by, they pick up mutiple links to your dynamic content.
Nothing in Struts that prevents you to having a short readable url, and
url is used in SEO. Ex:
http://site_about_xbox_games_including_halo.mydomain.com (this woks for
a certain engine) can be filter resolved to
http://mydomain.com?contnt_id=123213131 and still show the long name in
url.(and tiles do not affect this)
Your content needs to ... be very relevent in the 1st or 2nd sentence,
so consider having and displaying a summary field, becuase spiders will
not look in the middle of the page for you.
Also, it takes about 6 weeks or more to see a reaction on search engines
so when you do something, you have to wait to see the effect.
Consider hosting own Lucene search engine, just to learn more about fts
indexing and shorten feedback loop.
That will be $100 please ;-)

All,
I'm currently working on a site that uses Struts. One
of the priorities of the site was to make it highly
flexible to the changing needs of our customer base.
Search Engine Optimization was not a priority at the
time of development. Now it is.
Our rankings on search engines, like Google, are
extremely low. I understand rankings have a lot to do
with content, incoming links, etc. But I was told by
a number of sources that due to the dynamic content of
JSP and Struts, spiders have a difficult time crawling
the site. Even to the point where a spider gets
losted/confused. Is this true?
A number of things have been recommended to us to
improve our rankings, such as removing the session id,
limiting parameters on the url string to calling jsp
pages directly and not going through actions.
Can anyone add some insight in terms of the relation
between Struts / Search Engines / Spiders? Why
Struts/Spiders don't get along? How can I get a spider
to search my site without having to recode my actions
and jsp pages?
Thanks,
Tony
