[thelist] PHP and Search Engine Bots.

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi Aaron,
You raise a very valid point about the 'google quick' schemes. I think 
you should make it into a tip. Almost all google quick schemes have a 
negative effect.

while on the subject i think that as a site gets older it seems to get 
beter results. Do you know anything about it?

best regards
