: How to get Google to index dynamic pages generated from user IP address I am creating a local community directory site which identifies the location of the user by IP address and dynamically
I am creating a local community directory site which identifies the location of the user by IP address and dynamically renders the content related to the specific community identified by the IP address.
My question is since everything is generated by the user IP, how can I get Google to index the dynamic pages created since the Googlebot itself will present an IP address and thus the only pages it will see will be related to its IP address...
I can generate and submit an XML sitemap for all pages, but again the script would revert back to the Googlebot IP no matter which link it follows from the sitemap.
Update:
Will Google penalize me if I redirect their bot through IP identification to the national version of this of the above mentioned site?

The usual way to do that is to make the content dependant on the URLs only, and you redirect your visitors to the proper URL according to their IP.
For example, if you are generating dynamic content for the visitor's country, then create URLs for each country you care about and then redirect the visitors to the proper one.
The same thing if your doing it for cities or continents or whichever geographic resolution you are using.
If there are parts of the page that show information too specific to the visitor (like the IP itself or cookie-dependant preferences) then just keep that part as dynamic, provided they don't represent the main content of the page.
The rule of thumb is: if you want search engines to index a given content, that content must be tied to its own URL and nothing else.
