    I have a Clickbank search engine script developed in PHP and also in PERL
    My doubt is which is better?.If i use the script developed in PERL it's not getting indexed i mean the searched pages.getting path not found problem while using google sitemap

    Can any one give any suggestion?

    Don't know the answer but suspect php is the way to go. I know PERL has been around since '95 and php is newer.

    I would think php along with a caching like eAccelerator would be faster than anything other than plain html. As far as better for SEO, what produces the page doesn't matter - you should chose based on what best suites your needs and speed is a factor as well.

    The language in which the script is written has little impact on how good it seems for SE's etc., if there's some differences, that's because the developer made them, not because PERL can't do something PHP can or vise versa. I'd go with the PHP version of course - easy to find a developer to extend it and easy to find a host.

    For SEO? Nothing, I should imagine. No difference at all. As long as your URLs are something people can click on or link to. But that's not language specific.

    If you've got ugly URL's that you want to hide, look into mod_rewrite.

    LISP is better for SEO than PHP or Perl.

    As for SEO purposes, nothing - it might however make you a better programmer or a more enlightened human to learn it :)

    Explain how a programming language can effect the serps of a page. I cannot reason anything other than the html produced affecting anything.

    :)

    It was a joke - sorry. That was exactly my point, SEO is backend language neutral.

    If you have to choose one, you should choose the one that was better implemented. It's possible you had a brilliant Perl developer and an amateur PHP developer. You should have the developers of each product explain to you why their product is better. Which program is better organized, structured, and modular? Which is more robust? And so forth. Or what if you need to change the site's design? Can you alter the HTML output without having to tinker with the program code itself? Because in the end, all of this will cost you much more time than the few milliseconds lost from a slower program. You might even consider paying a highly respected third party to review each program. There are many programmers, Perl and PHP alike, that are hobbyists with little or no practical experience, and software is a very easy thing to get wrong.
