gc40 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hello all, I develop my website in PHP and I have a header file which is included at the top of all of my pages. Within that header file, I have a few HTML commented lines with my copyright info. I am just wondering if there is a better way to do this and if this affects SEO in any way. <!-- ***************************************************************************** * =================================================================== * * | Website Info: | * * | This website was created and developed by AUTHOR. | * * | All content and source coding is copyrighted to the author. | * * | Hosting for this website is provided by DOMAIN.COM | * * | | * * ==================================================================== * ***************************************************************************** --> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144225-developer-info-in-html-comment/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 fyi: you don't need to state that something is copyrighted for it to be copyrighted. What a lot of people do is have a link to a copyright notice page/file. Could be your own custom license agreement or point to an existing one that lots of people use. Just depends on how strict you want your stuff to be copyrighted. Ideally, comments in your html shouldn't affect your site's SEO.

Daniel0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Ideally, comments in your html shouldn't affect your site's SEO. Not just ideally. If an HTML parser doesn't ignore comments then it's broken.
