Are words in include files part of kd%?

Hi all,

Right now I'm in the midst of developing a new site. Just wanna clarify certain points.

Suppose I've got index.php and index.php makes a reference to include header.php and footer.php (for example) and my keywords are in the footer.php.

Will they be considered as part of the index page's keywords?

Cheers.

P.S I seem to remember it's not considered.

 

Keyword stuffing is frowned upon by search engines, and won't do you much justice but make your web pages look silly. Proper unique quality content will provide all the keywords the search crawlers will need, plus proper usage of heading titles w/content is the best way to inject keywords.

 

hi ssandecki,

Please don't assume I'm keyword stuffing. I'm just asking a direct question of whether the words within my include files are part of the keyword density.

Cheers!

 

do you know php?

 

hi paul.martin,

Yes I do.

 

yes, if you use php include for footer file, any words or links you have on the footer file will be considered as content of your index file. thats the whole purpose of php include or SSI

 

thanks buddy. so as long as the content is "echo-ed" or "outputted" as html, then the SEs will be able to read it as well yeah.
