ctsiow Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 When a search engine spiders a page does it read the raw code or the parsed html? I ask as I want to confirm if any text retrieved from a database is 'read' not the php code that gets the data. (if you see what I mean!)

steelmanronald06 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It reads whatever a normal user can read (view source). That is why GOOGLE doesn't like .php files. It normally means that the HTML is crap and not up to par. That is why I parse my html through the PHP Engine, so I can have .html. It is a bit harder on the server because everything is going through the PHP Engine, but I don't even notice the 0.000001 second that I'm losing. call me crazy.

ctsiow Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 so do you mean that google et al don't look at .php pages? If so how do I get round that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
