: How can a Google crawlers see PHP dynamic content? I'm reading the Google SEO starter guide and on page 11 it says you should prepare a site for users and one for search engines in XML.

I'm reading the Google SEO starter guide and on page 11 it says you should prepare a site for users and one for search engines in XML.

My site is about vehicles, and vehicle is not in a separate folder. It gets loaded dynamically with GET and PHP – so can Google crawl this if it's "not really there"?

The pages are there under ?GET variables like home.com/seevehicles?2009-camar so am I doing it wrong or can Google also crawl this?

Dynamic content is "dynamic" only server-side, clients always get just plain HTML (in other words: everything is static when it reaches client). It doesn't matter for a browser (or a crawler) if the document was dynamic or static, it's all the same: just a bunch of tags that it has to interpret.

If a regular visitor can see a link (or a hyperlink, if you prefer that name), it means that his browser has found a <a> tag and interpreted it as a link. If a browser could do that, then crawler can do that too. So, a crawler has an URL, it will follow it and do its job again: index it and follow next links. It doesn't magically enumerate server files and hit them one by one, it's only following links.
