[thelist] PHP and Search Engine Bots.

[Aaron Holmes]

Furthermore, we have had success in google ranking with the .php
extension

Ie: http://www.gurix.com

And various other clients of ours have the same experiences.

Things that didn't work include in no particular order: fake content,
resubmitting every single month, over-repetition (using the same
sentence or word more than 5 times), software submission programs and
various other 'get googled quick schemes'.

The best way for a better google life IMHO is to have others link to
you, talk about you and go to you.

HTH at least a little!

Hi,

According to google they don't care what the suffix is. They even index 
pages that have query strings (eg ?param1=blah etc)
The easiest way to confirm all of this is to check your log files. 
Google and other search engines do however stop indexing if they find 
that the php (or whatever) page uses a spider detection algorithm to do 
search engine cloaking.

that's a good phrase for you to google on as well ;-)
