Hi there,

I read somewhere on this site that search engines only browse a page upto a certain point, and then stop.

So, I have a massive list of links before any of my content which will probably get my ranking down, as the links are just categories and not many contain keywords.

I have decided to use a PHP include for this, but I would like to know if the links are still classed as incoming if I do that? And if they will be seen just the same as if they were in the actual html.

Would anyone help me please?

Thanks,
Mike

PHP includes are server side. They in no way shape or form affect search engines.

So if I include a file which 'echos' the HTML I want - will it just be the same as if I put the HTML in the original file?

Yep, it will Mike.

Thanks you two...

May as well do this as it doesn't affect search engine results.
