Database Items / Search Engine

Post by psurrena »

Hello,

I was just wondering, when search engine robots are out doing their job, do they ignore content pulled from a database? Or does the robot "fully render (right term?)" the code?

So if I have a profile page on my website and the content is stored in MySQL, does the content technically not exist?

Thanks,
Peter

most search engines can only see what your pages render for a browser. So if you output the content from MySQL, it'll see it. If you don't, it won't.
