leave it as html for search engines ? - 5/26/2005 1:34:04   
i was wondering if search engines would not favor response.written asp code OVER the traditional html as an index page  Would it make a difference if I .write "<doctype><html>...</html>" rather than leave it as html ?

AFAIK there should be no difference. The server generates the HTML and serves it up to whatever asks for it, browser or SE, so whatever you see in 'view source' is what the SE bot gets.

I agree with Jaybee - one thing SEs don't like though is dynamically generated URLs - as long as you're talking about dynamic content within a normal .html or .htm page there should be no difference far as I know.

Also note that the SE's don't discriminate between extensions - .asp, .php, .htm, .html all look the same.
