Dynamic php webpages ?title etc (no spidering? HELP)

drfate · 12-08-2005, 05:31 PM

hi all,
about a year ago, I changed the site to php in order to easily change the website on a global scale.

However, it looks like google won't spier or index our site? The code is below

http://www.impulsegamer.com/ps2reviews.php?title=- PS2 Reviews - www.impulsegamer.com

anyone know why? HELP!

cheers,
Andrew

Since you are using php, and on an Apache server - do a mod re-write to change all the (?title=) in to a keyword phrase instead.

Do you have a sitemap?
Do you have a Google Sitemap?
Here's a tool that will make a nice Google sitemap for you:
http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

Then you'll need to create an account on Google sitemaps:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login

If you need a gmail account, PM me and I can send you an invite.

You need to create a 404 error handling page - and you need to create a robots.txt file as well.

Hope this helps.

I thought robots.txt just told Google the pages not to index

Yeah i use robots.txt
But you can use meta too

Meta on your pages...

Robots.txt should primarly be there because not all search engines look at the robots meta tag.

JOKERz · 12-14-2005, 01:09 AM

yeah i mean you can use meta tag in your page.
Like this :
<meta name="robots" content="index follow">

But like lupine sez.
not all search engines look at the robots meta tag.

Hey man I use PHP in my site, http://www.gorkite.com and that has been on Google ever since I submitted it. I don't understand, unless you are using a huge number of variables that aren't in place or something, why Google hasn't indexed your site.

Even my mock up site http://girls.gorkite.com was indexed and that works on MYSQL and variables!!
