In designing a site to rank well with Google menaing achieve a good page rank, what are the key do's and avoid's when designing my pages. Html, Asp, Php, do they make a difference with getting indexed by google, or in achieving a Page Rank?
Search engine spider love html extension. A lot of webmasters tried the mod rewrite techique in .htaccess for this reason.
your goal should not be to get PR...it should be to have good position in the SEPRS.....I don't think google prefers one over the other.....
Yea, if you have good content, people will link to you. I've seen sites with terrible or non existant SEO being the top results for search terms.
Not true. Mod Rewrite is for URLs that have too many params. Usually dynamic sites. Dislikes: Flash In code Javascript & CSS (use external files) Javascript menus Frames Using images for text (better to have ugly text headers than pretty image headers) Hidden links Hidden keywords Likes: Unique title for every page Clean code External javascript and css files If you use www. to link than make sure every link uses www. and vice versa. Content Text menus Domain name without many "-" Good host Anyone care to add some more?
Complete text pages will be easy to get indexed, because googlebot can read them while crawling. But PHP/ASP/Javascript pages will not block the indexing if there is meta description tag and title tag, etc, and text content in the pages. PHP/ASP, etc has nothing to do with PR. PR is related with backlinks.
PHP/ASP has nothing to do with SEO at all, google can handle most dynamic pages just fine, and if you know a little more than the basics then you can make dynamic urls look like static too. So no difference at all. Just focus on having unique content which people would want to use/read and the rest will come easy.
Not entirely true. You just have to make sure that there arent too many parameters. You can always use mod_rewrite to "mask" the URL into something more spider friendly than Google wont be able to tell if a page is dynamic or not.
