SEO Question PHP vs. .html - GoFuckYourself.com

Don't deal much with php...but will a page with a .php extension pick up just as well in the SE's as a .html page?

sacX · 01-13-2004, 07:16 AM

No.. but there is a work around..
hax apache to process html files for php :-)

php/html/phtml will all get indexed the same (as long as the content on them is the same) however, once you start to throw more than one variable into the url (IE: http://www.foo.com/bar.phtml?foo=1&bar=2), it wont get picked up like as easy as the urls without variables at the end of it.

.php files will get picked up by Google just fine.
.php?cat=blegh&link=43 will not.

The solution:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^articles$ /articles.php
RewriteRule ^articles/([0-9]+)$ /articles.php?id=$1

(obviously you need to change it to fit your own needs)

Thx guys...basically this is just some niche hubs I'm working on and wanted to use a php include file for headers etc so I could easily change out everything...so basically the file will be just niche.php

I just wanted to make sure my work wouldn't be in vain...LOL

Thx again.

you wont have any problems, just make sure that the include file has hardlinks to the sites you want to be picked up

Whats that? I know PDF's are indexed by google which is a good thing but i dont see how that is a secret, unless there is more to it than just indexing PDF's

hmm...never thought about that maybe EB is on to something.

You know you dont know you think you dont think, here is what im saying try it it only takes a few minutes if it works out for you great if it doesnt you didnt lose much.

You will find that google recently started to put PDF pages on the first page of results, (they also offer the option to surfers to read PDF as html). Why do they like PDF files over many other files in SOME cases? Well figure it out yourself.

Create a content rich and not to overliked PDF page or pages link to it and follow the routine and see if it helps ya, I bet it will.

Why not? You can do so much cooler shit with PHP vs. HTML.

I got an online store which is very SE friendly. I use tracking throughout the site but when a bot comes to crawl my site i hide all the tracking so that the bot can follow ALL the links on the sites.

Cloaking? YEs, but not the kind which will get you banned. I now got just under 53,000 different webpages indexed in google and get hundreds of thousands of hits/monthly!

EB: Thanks for the little tip, i'll have to give it a shot and see how it does. The only thing i can think of is that PDF is less spammy, for now.

Ash@phpFX · 01-13-2004, 08:52 AM

on my tgp script there are lots of pages, archives by category and by date, as well as the main galleries page, they are all done in php but my script parses them and writes the result to html after every update, so the server load is reduced and everything is in html. I was told that php didnt pick up properly in serach engines, maybe i got some bad info.

Ever hear a spammer say he doesnt spam he uses double optin?

Same goes to SEO guys, we do not cloak we use different domains blah blah blah blah, yes there is a right and wrong way to do things but dont get fooled by those who try to act like all they do is create a page and they have an insider in google make sure its positioned right.

In SE you have to remember what worked or didnt work just a week ago might work or not work today.

Its like the people who all they do is concentrate on the h1 and meta etc tags because they read in a book (written in 1996) that it works.

h1 still seems to work

eroswebmaster · 01-13-2004, 10:12 AM

I still use all the old meta tag stuff the H1, H2 etc...but I also make sure to make the page relevant, put a bit of content on their etc...use a lot of text with the keywords, alt tags in the images.
