Hello friends, I have a query for you. I have a website and url of this website is in Php extension. Please tell me, what is the problem in doing SEO of this website? Thanks for your help......
Hi carhireindia, Your problem is not clear. PM me URL of your site and tell me what the problem happening with you. Any way if you are taking links from other sites then don't forget to add http:// before. Good Luck
index.php , index.html , index.htm and index.aspx all same for any search engine. So don't worry about page extension.
Page extension is never a problem in doing SEO. You only make sure that your URLs are static and its better if they are in directory format. eg: http://www.abc.com/def.php
If you have added your website in google webmaster tools they you will be getting a message regarding to the problem/issue. Please login to the webmaster tools account and check for such messages or error notices for your website. even you can find the crawling information/errors.
You should share the website you are telling so that members can have a website analysis on it and see the problem that you may have been talking about.
[h=3]Problem #1: Non-www and www Versions of Site URLs[/h] If your site has a non-www and www version of all your URLs, you’re going to be splitting link value for the same content between two URLs. Rather than capturing 100% of the link value on the page you want to rank in the search results, you could be doing a 50/50, 60/40, or some other kind of split between the two URLs. The Fix There are a couple of things you need to do to fix this: Decide which URL style you want to use, www or non-www. Set up a 301 redirect so that any links to your non-preferred URL style will go to the right style. This way you don’t waste link value by splitting it between two URLs. Set your preferred domain in Google Webmaster Tools so your search result listings are consistent with your style preference. Make sure whenever you build links to your site that you use the preferred URL style. [h=3]Problem #2: Duplicate Home Page URLs[/h] This is a close cousin to Problem #1, but is especially bad because it’s your home page. It is possible to have a lot of different URLs that all go to your home page content, especially if you haven’t fixed your www and non-www duplication, which can result in a lot of unnecessary duplication. For example: http://www.mysite.com http://mysite.com http://www.mysite.com/index.html http://mysite.com/index.html These URLs will all lead to the same content. If you have links going to all four of them you will see a four-way split in link value. There are a lot of sites out there that have fixed their non-www and www problems, but I can still find multiple versions of their home page. I’ve even come across sites with different extensions (.php, .html, .htm, etc.) that bring up the same page as well. This leads to even more duplication and potentially wasted link value. The Fix The fix here is very similar to the first one. Here are a few tips: Set your main home page URL to be http://www.mysite.com. 301 redirect everything else to this URL since it is the most basic (If your preferred URL style is non-www, then do http://mysite.com) If you have to set up different versions for tracking purposes or some other reason, set a canonical tag to show the search engines which version you want showing up in the search results. Make sure when you build links to your home page that you link to the correct version.
URL extensions make a very little difference in search engine ranking. They focus more on natural contents of the site but not on technology.
