FN-FORUM: help with getting .php files indexed on search engines

date posted 17th January 2006 16:33

Evening all,

Right, this is probably one of those posts where I get half a dozen
replies telling me not to be lazy and try searching for it on google,
but the reason why I ask it here is because you are the experts.

Until now I have never really thought of how .php pages are indexed in
search engines. If for example you have a number of news articles,
which are listed in summary on news.php page, and full details is
available on viewNews.php?NewsID=3DsomeID, then are the full news pages
indexed?
(as in viewNews.php?ID=3D1, viewNews.php?ID=3D2, etc..)

How can this be done, and can the title, keywords and description of
the page be altered depending on the article?

(this is just a simple example I chose to illustrate the questIon)

Any links to GOOD tutorials, or any advice you may have would be
greatly appreciated.
Any of you out there had some really good results in search engine
rankings with php pages in this scenario?
