Wordpress - Dynamic pages vs static pages

[danialniazi]

Hi,

Our site has over 48,000 indexed links, with a good mix of pages, posts and dynamic pages.

For the purposes of SEO and the recent talk of "fresh content" - would it be better to keep dynamic pages as they are or manually create static pages/ subpages.

The one noticable downside with dynamic pages is that they arent picked up by any sitemap plugins, you need to manually create a separate sitemap just for these dynamic links.

Any thoughts??

What do you mean by "dynamic pages"? Are these archive pages, post index pages or something similar?
I use a Yoast WordPress SEO plugin to generate sitemaps and with it I am able to include anything I want in the sitemap, including such pages.

How are these "dynamic" pages being created? You must have a custom page/post type in your WordPress theme? If so, you should in theory be able to check that off under XML Sitemaps in Yoast to add to the XML sitemaps.

I wouldn't base this decision on the idea of "fresh content". I'd make those pages what suites them best, and what's the easiest for you to maintain.

In other words, it doesn't matter HOW the pages are created, Google just sees that there is a page, and it will crawl and index it.

The only thing I'd say, is when you are creating pages dynamically, you want to make sure you're not ending up with too many thin/similar pieces of content. They all really need to add some sort of value.
