RE: [PHP] search engines ignoring .php3 pages

I think this refers to fact that (all) search engines will not index your page if it contains any "?" characters in the URL. These are usally dynamic contents and yes PHP3 *can* be dynamic, although it doesn't have to be serving any dynamic content. I *personally* don't think the search engine would focused on the file extension ie php3, asp, jsp etc *as long as* they don't have "?" in the URL the search spider will index your page. There are way around this problem of course (ie fool the search engine to think that your dynamic pages are static), just do a search on mailing list archive for "search engines crawling" or somthing similar and you should get some idea on how to do it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles Killian [mailto:Charles@AlcatrazDesignGroup.com] > Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2000 8:28 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] search engines ignoring .php3 pages > > > I know there has been a lot of talk about search engines and php pages but > what is the latest consensus on php pages being ignored by search engines? > > Has anyone found this to be true: > > "Though each engine categorizes a site's content according its own unique > algorithms, all > search engines share the same flaw.
