google question
 

does it matter for google if your first page is index.php ?

No I don't think so.

Not at all but if someone is sending links to http://www.blah/index.php
and http://www.blah

Then this can but who really knows affect and generate SPAM points deducted
Definately hurts your count for that page when split in half

dont promote as index.php
promote that as http://www.domain.com

There is no need to ever call a index.php in a URL
http://www.blah.com/?moo=foo works just the same
index.php is controlled via DirectoryIndex in apache and probably everythign else httpd wise and can be set to auto load before index.html

Am I the only one thinking that the seo questions over here are getting more and more moronic every day... what makes you think that it matter if you use htm html shtml asp php or whatthefuckever as you index extension... i don't get it

Anyone could fake a .php document as an .html document so yeah, why would it matter.

Why is it moronic, google may place loss of points for .php files if they so desire

If you notice anything you notice that pdf files seem to get good higher rankings
Gee you think they know a pdf file is a more meaningful document so why not give it more ranking points.

I personally have adult search engines that dont rank php or cgi files at all

I dont see many .php files when searching google. Thumbs up for asking a qreat question, but you shouldnt worry about this at all, make good sites with content
and get links and youll start getting real valid worthy traffic

When you try to cheat the system you'll see no results or temporary results.

However with all that said, just keep the top of your page very clean with little garbage such as <script> crap and other nonsense html, the top of your page is very important


Heres a tip for you..

let's say your site is dealing in golf
why use index.php when you can use anything
DirectoryIndex golf.php golf.shtml golf.html golf.htm

http://www.mydomain.com/golf.php will give you alot better results
then http://www.mydomain.com/index.php will

I agree. To think that it has to be "logical" and "natural" just because google does it that way, that is moronic. Sure there is a logic behind what google does, but that is the logic of their own mind, it didn't "have to be" the way it is.

your the moron.

Linking in a page to a .php will definitly affect your listing.
And there are no stupid questions only stupid answers.

And you just proved that.

lol.... I could prove all your shit wrong but I am not going to waste more time on this.
"Linking in a page to a .php will definitly affect your listing."
haha
yeah sure
you're clueless idiots
that easy :)

28 different refering search engines Pages Percent Hits Percent
Google 16970 85.5 % 16978 84.7 %

I think I know google a bit :)

link to a .php page and link to and .html page.
You will notice the .html page will be ranked higher.

and if you didnt know that you have been wasting time :)

shit... now I am impressed
not

I think I will have to send this link to Miguel from HQseek and his trade partners telling him of linking to a php page will "affect" (lol) their listing...
http://www.hqseek.com/amateurs.php - awful ranking for amateur porn

shit... he has problems

lemme quote myself: you're "idiots"

haha... this is getting better and better

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&lr...m/amateurs.php
link for the php file

only 119 backlinks. That would have been significant higher with and .html file

haha... yeah sure

miguel is a moron using the php extension...
Will call and laugh at him now...
If he would use .html he would be #1 for everything
:eek7:

may I ask you to post one of your sites, just for my personal pleasure :)
