Is .php indexed (as well)?
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2003 8:23 pm
I was working on a project a short while back and near the end of the project the company hired a marketing team to improve the sites ranking in the search engines.
The company was adament about converting all of the .php to static .html on every page (removing my includes/dynamic navigation etc..) -- so the owner of the company told them to go ahead with it.
Of course they messed up the site something fierce (amateurs). Every page had major problems -- but the site was climbing in the search engines. I argued that the extension shouldn't effect the positioning of the site at all -- but they begged to differ.
So of course, they called me to "Fix" their mistakes and I changed them a nominal fee
to perform the task for them. To this day they are still bugging up the site and every 6-8 months I fix all the problems. The funny thing is -- whatever they are doing it seems to be working (the site is top 5 on almost all search engines for their keywords). Sales have increased from 10 orders / day to 100 orders per day in 4 months.
Does anybody <know> whether the file extension effects page rank at all? Same experience?
