I'm working on a new site and wanted to know something that had been on my mind. I would like to code some pages in php or part of the page in php instead of standard html. Does se's give more weight for .html pages over .php or does it not matter.

Anyone have and experiences with .php over .html pages is one format better in se rankings?

Thanks

have the pages as .html and set your .htaccess or apache config to parse html pages for php

Or simply change it in apache httpd.conf if you're dedicated

Yea I thought about that I was just wondering if anyone knew if .html out ranked .php pages.

what is that in your sig?

forplaz you are better off making your pages look static imho

its fine if its just .php and doesnt have any variables passed by reference through the url..

so index.php is fine

index.php?a=2 isnt..

but yeah making it appear as .html is easy ;)

Doesn't seem to make a difference but why take any chances

GonePhishing · 03-14-2005, 08:39 PM

I've got .html and .php that both do fine. I think you are okay as long as your page tech is clean.

Do you have a link for this?
Thanks

I've contributed to several search engine algorithms..

Erm, PHP usually gets the same attention as HTML.. However, one of the several spider bot's I've worked on actually ignored PHP pages if the referring site linked to it with a QUERY_STRING environment variable set.

Its from the movie "Saw." Great flick.

I have PHP pages that were indexed without problem by Google. However, the simpler you keep the code, the better. Don't pass session ID's or other complex strings in the URL, etc.

Of course, as I write this I just noticed Google dumped a bunch of my PHP pages lol ... but I think it's because they were flagged as duplicated content - they were in the index before.

Serge Litehead · 03-14-2005, 10:09 PM

Can't say SE's put any weight on file extentions.
I've seen pretty good rankings for mainstream websites even with arrays of variables in query string.
Content and links are what counts.

Google recently dumped a bunch of my php pages as well

They reappeared a week + 1/2 later, but seemed to rank lower

.html has more weight, I don't care what anybody says.

pornguy · 03-14-2005, 11:22 PM

That was some info that I could use as well. Thanks for the responses.

azguy · 03-14-2005, 11:23 PM

Also, use mod_rewrite to create somewhat descriptive URLs:

http://www.domain.com/articles/sexy-girls-in-scottsdale.html

instead of

http://www.domain.com/articles/index.php?aid=38218232334

PeekHoles · 03-15-2005, 09:46 AM

Thanks for all the feedback if I do it in php I will make the pages look like html. .html seems to be the way to go that way no worries

Basic_man · 03-15-2005, 09:48 AM

I'm pretty sure HTML ranks better than PHP pages !

This is invaluable info!

.PHP does get indexed, but static .HTML seems to be treated with greater respect.

Use .htacces to access your PHP pages with .HTML extensions.
