If you're asking for the best language for SEO... no one beats HTML. PHP & MSQL(database) are more on website development.

Is this another PHP vs HTML thread? Don't people know that PHP and HTML are not technologies in the same category? PHP is just a way of processing data, and sometimes displaying HTML. You can't just say "hey, I'm going to use PHP instead of HTML for my website", because that would be literally impossible.

The point is, you can't make a website without HTML (ever). You can use PHP (or whatever) to generate HTML, and the effect on search engines will be absolutely zero, as if you had never done it. Search engines do not care, or even recognize, what programming language you are using to run your site.

I think that's enough to explain HTML and PHP. PHP is the server-side script that generates HTML and after generating there is no sign of PHP exists in the page.

whether you use html , php or asp , users or any crawler is going to see the html output.

asp or php can misbehave though ('could not connect to database' or 'script timed out' ) when the crawler visits, harming your rankings.

Use html more and php when necessary

That's just bad programming or being a "cheapskate" on hosting.
Nothing to with the choice of server technology.

I agree with wayfarer07...the search engines don't care whether you use pure html, php, asp, aspx, etc. In the end the spider is just reading html code.

For a larger website it can be very convenient to use sever side coding such as php or asp to dynamically generate pages.

**avor** · 01-08-2009, 01:07 AM

but i think using html is more easier to use and easier for the spiders to read

You read that on the Interweb, so it's not true.

Search engines ONLY read HTML, PHP is parsed SERVER SIDE!!!!

I earnestly don't see it being a problem on my website. My ranks are in the top 10, and all my pages have the extension .php on them. Can anyone explain to me why this is?

Your server runs PHP!
