PHP Framework and SEO

Post by fredweaver »

I've been using PHP for various site features but I've decided to look into Codeigniter. I cannot find anything regarding SEO when using this or any other framework to create an entire site using it. What do you do to get the search engines to crawl your site?

Search engines do no care what generates the site, they just work on what gets sent to the browser, so as long as you build it with good content and good navigation, you should be fine.

CodeIgniter, the PHP framework, allows for URL customization so that the URLs are more visible to the search engines.

Because it allows for "friendly URLs"? So do many other frameworks. Does it have anything else up its sleeve to warrant that claim?

As already in the reply right above yours, many other framworks have SEO freindly URLs. So Since that has been ruled out as a factor for it being "best", as already asked, what features does CodeIgniter bring to make it so much better for SEO than others?

If you have a nicely prepared website with proper onpage and offpage optimization then search engine will definitely crawl your website at regular intervals.

As i know, many frameworks allow to write search engine friendly urls. So, there is no need to go with a particular one framework.
