Re: Search Engines

There are a few things that can help you get indexed by the search engines if you are using a server side scripting language. 1. Try to avoid passing variables in the get string. That is, the stuff after the "?" in a url. 2. If you want a page indexed, don't redirect from that page to another page. The search spider will not follow the redirect. Other than that, I can't think of more things that a spider wouldn't like that have to do with php. If there are more, please correct me.
