Hi Freinds 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. Shannon
i think it's right.But my own problem is that PHP script is asking for back link.. I have one more question for you which will be faster ? i coudn't check they are almost same.But anyway wish to know your view..
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.
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.
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.
thats like asking "whats better a bus or a truck to transport my package" both will get the job done u just have to keep the urls SEO friendly
