During earlier times, all websites used static HTML pages and so the first search engines were oriented towards static web pages. As the web technology developed several new methods to generate websites and dynamically generated web pages came into being. Dynamic web pages differ from static pages in that there is no physical equivalent to the page you may be viewing on the server.<\/p>\n

Dynamic URLs are generally used if the content of a site is stored in a database and pulled for display on pages on demand.<\/p>\n

But it is said that URLs have a distinct disadvantage in that different URLs can carry the same content.<\/p>\n

All the above mentioned six URLs end up with six different landing pages. But when the search engine tends to remove the information subsequent to the first offending character, the question mark (?), ultimately all the six pages become identical :<\/p>\n
http:\/\/fishbase.org\/Country\/CountrySpeciesSummary.cfm
\nhttp:\/\/fishbase.org\/Country\/CountrySpeciesSummary.cfm
\nhttp:\/\/fishbase.org\/Country\/CountrySpeciesSummary.cfm
\nhttp:\/\/fishbase.org\/Country\/CountrySpeciesSummary.cfm
\nhttp:\/\/fishbase.org\/Country\/CountrySpeciesSummary.cfm
\nhttp:\/\/fishbase.org\/Country\/CountrySpeciesSummary.cfm<\/p>\n
At this instant, your unique pages have become identical, and consequently the URL\u2019s are duplicated which won\u2019t be indexed by the search engines.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
