Re: search engines ignoring .php3 pages

The words 'hogwash' spring to mind, but that's just me. *easy* way to test this is to simply search for 'index.php3' on a few search engines - I tried google, altavista and excite, for example, and in the result sets they returned, there were inevitably some URLs that had 'index.php3' or some other 'dynamic' ending to them. They seem to be wanting to get you to agree to them redoing your pages in a 'search engine' friendly manner. This may or may not be worthwhile, but I'd be distrustful of a company that made such a bold statement that is so easily refuted. Good luck. :) Charles Killian wrote: > 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.
