Re: Googlebot

from google http://www.google.com/webmasters/facts.html Fiction: Sites are not included in Google's index if they use ASP (or some other non-html file-type.) Fact: At Google, we are able to index most types of pages and files with very few exceptions. File types we are able to index include: pdf, asp, jsp, hdml, shtml, xml, cfm, doc, xls, ppt, rtf, wks, lwp, wri. I notice php is not mentioned in this list, surely it can index php generated pages ??

Is Googlebot (or any other bot) able to follow links that are

php?

e.g. <a href="Contact.php">Contact Us</a> <a href="Product.php"><img src="Images/product.jpg"

width="110" height="111"

border="0"></a> Is there a way to invite bots to your site? Thanks Matt
