Please suggest should I create HTML pages or PHP Pages for better Page Ranking in Google??? Since HTML pages have Headers like EID and Last Modified which are not provided by PHP, ASP. Should we create HTML pages... or there is a work around.
there is no difference between html pages and PHP pages in search engines and all browsers, because all dynamic pages(ASP,PHP) it self return HTML code even if it is a search bot or a web browser. If you want better visibilty then follow the SEO, and make your links more clear like www.yourdomain.com/product/books instead of www.yourdomain.com/?browse=product&id=1234 this is called mod rewriting,
although most people will say that dynamic urls are no good, just look at how well dp's thread ranks in google.
Its true that dynamic URLs are also good, but look at the biggest factor THE BACKLINKS to this forum from many websites ... Statis URLS are better in case if you want to become visible in SERP in less time. Almost every CMS is now providing mod rewrites
Thanks... but how to print Headers like EID and Last Modified using mod rewrite / PHP. Anyone? how to print Headers like EID and Last Modified using mod rewrite / PHP.
I am not very sure about why you are concentrating on printing headers as I think that search engines still index and re-index all pages based on their own algorithm. Look at the date of last cached for your pages in google. I'm sure that differs from what you would have in modified headers... Bye
Thanks for the URL. Do you think ETag generated by md5($file['contents']); is the best solution. And has anyone used this approach before? Regards Amrita Manwani
