Search engine compatability

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Search engine compatability

Post by labert_the_old »

Do search engines spider .shtml files?

Ive read they spider .php files.

In my case I have allot of dynamically built web pages on my site using php. And there is noway for the search engines to access this data beacuse its dynamic. So one idea I had was to use server side includes to help with my page ranking

example: <!--#include file"show_unit.php?unit=1" -->

That way the search engines are able to spider through all the available units on my web site giving me a better ranking. Will this work? Do they spider .shtml files?

Sincerely,

Lambert.

Basically, search engines see what your broswers see.
