Am I overlooking something in this thread?
What a web robot sees is exactly what you see when you look at the
"Document Source" of the viewed page. The robot doesn't know how text
got there, only the server know the origin. The output could be an
include file from a SSI or a the output of a perl script generated dynamically.
I have many html document with but one line of text,
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/somthing.pl"-->
where something.pl dynamically produces an HTML document. These pages are
routinely index by search engines.
One of the major advantages of the above scheme is having one script
producing a large number of differet documents. To illustrate, I have a
colendar of events system (for free if you would like one) that starts
with a call to:
ce-ats.html
There are any number of variations on the above such as ce-ud.html, etc.
These documents have on line, a call to events.pl. events.pl know the
calling document (it's an ENV variable) and read a configuration file
ce-ats.ini or ce-ud.ini, and so on. Each user's calendar can have a
completely different look and feel. (User configurable.) One of the major
advantages of the Calendar system is automatic purging. Outdated items
are automatically purges every morning.
Taking the concept one small additional step, one could have
index.html call index.pl. The dynamically HTML document coud vary
depending upon the domain of the "viewer." If it's yahoo.com, one thing,
excite.com, comething else. In this way the index page could be tweeked
to ranking standards on the individual search engines. A lot of work, at
least initially, but if a high ranking is your game.....
