Re: [PHP] Do query strings get spidered by Google?
Judging from how Google has indexed my site, it simply follows all links it encounters on the site, since I atleast can find several of my pages that are a bunch of links deep inside the site...

Re: [PHP] Do query strings get spidered by Google?
I don't think Google follows URLS to every variation based on a query string.
I know to have some of my pages indexed I had to rewrite the URL so the query
string looked like a directory path.
Cheers,
Rob.

[PHP] Do query strings get spidered by Google?
Hi All; I am trying to decide how to lay out a site with a lot of articles, and I am wondering if query strings get spidered by Google. I was thinking it would make for an easy search engine if I could put the articles in fulltext searchable MySQL columns, but I do not want to lose the ability of search engines to spider them. Otherwise, I believe there is a way to convert the quert string to a trailing / so it looks like directory structure, does anyone have info on that?

Re: [PHP] Do query strings get spidered by Google?
A better solution - make your pages look like static html pages: Search Engine Friendly PHP Pages http://zend.com/zend/spotlight/searchengine.php Search Engine-Friendly URLs http://www.sitepoint.com/article/485 How can I pass variables to a script in the url like /script/var1/var2? How can I pass variables in a form that won't scare off search engines? http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/124 Apache ForceType Docs http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#forcetype I even add a .htm to the article id and then do a str_replace(). Remember to make sure that you are doing some type of validation of the data that is being passed via the URL. olinux --- Mike Hillyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All; I am trying to decide how to lay out a site with a lot of articles, and I am wondering if query strings get spidered by Google.

Re: [PHP] Do query strings get spidered by Google?
Last time i checked, Google does infact query strings. As some of my searches have lead to forums where the url is www.someurl.com/viewtopic.php?f=3t=345 ect. I also belive there is a tutorial somewhere on the internet which converts the variables into folders, so it looks like the article is in some sort of directory structure. - Original Message - From: Mike Hillyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP GENERAL LIST [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2003 4:26 AM Subject: [PHP] Do query strings get spidered by Google?
