Hi there, I plan to build couple of sites based on the PHP scripts like games, music, entertainment, mobiles. I want to know that PHP Scripts are friendly with the Search engines like Google and Yahoo? Any suggestions please. Regards bushib
php is a server side programming language. Any php code is executed on the server to spit out html code for web browsers to see. So search engines won't know the difference between your website being programmed with php or pure html. The search engines do not give preference to a certain document type either.
I've done better with "html" pages myself, not that php won't get ranked, just not quite as well. You could always use rewrites to turn them into html pages, what I've done for years.
Guess we would have to, agree to disagree Like I said, just what I've noticed over the years. Guess every one's experience can differ.
No I never agreed with you on anything Perhaps you are just comparing php pages that have querystrings. In that case a rewritten 'html' page would be better than that php page. The search engines do not give any preference to one document type of another. To do so would be unfair and illogical.
