Hi all, I have a site with about 70 html pages. I want to change the site to php so I could add many dynamic features. I know if would be easy to just change through htaccess to redirect all html to php extention, but will it not harm my ranking / Pagerank? has anyone ever done it?
My site is all .php but I keep the extension as .html You can also add in your .htaccess an option to parse html whihc im sure someone will find for you and post. On top of that just use modrewrite to optimise your links. For instance RewriteRule (.)\.html $1.php
If you're talking about the site that is in your signature, I checked the source and it is html. Perhaps you mean it is generated from a PHP CMS, but if so that is not what I need. Is there a way I can use php without using CMS or changing the extention of the files to .php?
Believe me the site is PHP. These are both the same: http://www.invision-gaming.co.uk/Counter-Strike-Source/sv_downloadurl-Guide-36.html [url]http://www.invision-gaming.co.uk/index.php?content=36[/url] You use modrewrite for rewriting any URLs
Yes I have done it on several sites, and no it wouldn't it harm your PR .htaccess AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html your pages keep their html extension but you get to use them as if they were php, adding php scripts ect.
Thanks, That exactly did not work, but I've managed to find this: Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php And now I can get my html pages to work with php. Now I just need to find the php scripts I need and I'm on my way. Thank you very much.
no dudes Just use a script that uses mod write For example if your pages are now www.site.com/blue-bunnys You can do that with a php script and not lose one single page, In fact you can keep the look of the site the same as well, and have all the dynamic pages you want Google wont even know you converted
yeah, but my ranking are already good and I do not want to risk it. That I believe is a good solution to me, I just need to find a php script that will present me change every 24 hours a link to a different inner page.
Dude look see this http://www.freestuffdirect.com/free-baby-stuff Thats a php site, but to google it looks like html
