womble -> Includes, robots.txt and search engines (2/18/2006 18:46:35)

I'm working on a site at the moment that has php includes on some pages. At the moment they've just got lorem ipsum in them, but the finished thing will have Adsense and links to related sites in them along with some stuff I do want SEs to pick up on.

I've got a robots.txt in place blocking the includes folder at the moment, but it's just occured to me, could that disadvantage me with the includes folder being blocked, or do the SEs go on generated content?

It should not matter with the includes folder because when the web page is viewed on the browser, it has been parsed by the server and there is no includes folder actually in the code.

Thanks Corey. That's what I thought when I sat and thought it through again. Just wanted to double-check tho.

Keep in mind once you replace with the "real" content that your AdSense ads will seem "off" for a little while. Don't knock yourself out trying to get them to target better, it will happen naturally.

Take care,

Brian
