Google on random snippets?

[folkevil]

Hello Everyone,I am new to your forum, and I must say that I highly respect the quality of answers and discussion here.My first post will be the following question:If I have a site that has a ton of good - high quality and of course relevant written content BUT each page has a snippet of dynamic (randomly generated) article on it - will this come across to google as a bad thing for pr? To explain a bit better - each page of a site we're building has a written document (scientific paper) - in html BUT each page ALSO has a little blurb or 'snippet' that promotes another [random] article with the usual 'read more>>' link - this blurb or 'snippet' is random and not often related to the main content of the current article of the page on which it is displaying. I'm trying to understand whether it would be better for us toA. rebuild the schema and show snippets for related articles only (my personal choice)B. leave the random snippet there (but wouldn't this have negative consequences?)C. take it out altogether (would this be the best for pr?)I appreciate your repsonses, and I look forward to becoming a part of your community.-feynman Hey Feynman...Interlinking of you website is a good thing. The fact that your pages will change dynamically is also a good thing. The text content from the article snippet is another good thing.One thing you might consider is to use descriptive anchor text in your link to the full article. For example instead of having more>> as your link text, try Read more about your article keyphrase>> as the link.As far as affecting PR it would be best to use a group of links to many different articles so that your create more interlinks between your pages Thus passing PR internally. Do you have a site map?for the dynamic content, all you have to worry about is the way the url shows up, really.if it has a "?" in the url or a session hash (long gibberish), yes, that's a bad thing. otherwise, you should be fine.First, Thanks for the replies!This project does have a site map, and a very good link structure that interlinks all of the pages. My primary concern is that there are no conflicts that will occur if the cached copy of a page in the engines is sligtly different from what is called by another page request. My understanding was that if the total actual content does not match the cached copy - the engines will give you lower relevance - because it's not considered an 'anchor' page if the content is dynamically generated at any point.Thanks again,feynmanI should also note that there are no sessions or variables passed in the urls - we used mod_rewrite to handle that and even the few php pages are being served up as html and sent to the php engine via mime_types.Thanks,feynman"the engines will give you lower relevance - because it's not considered an 'anchor' page if the content is dynamically generated at any point. "I've never heard anything like this. You might be confusing it with pages that don't have any outgoing links that are viewed as dead ends.Why not have as many pages as there are permutations of your "snippets" that way you could have large number of extra pages on your site.Take care that they are not to alike - otherwise it could be spam.Clare
