What is the "mv" page extension?

[keyplyr]

Will links found on [some_domain.com...] be followed by most robots?

It's a Miva file - a proprietary database structure that people use on shopping cart sites.

Thanks Tedster, so are links found on these files read by robots?

[keyplyr]

Anybody?

[Conard]

Yes,
.mv pages are indexed by all the search engines.
It does not really have to do with the Miva Merchant shopping cart but it is the Miva scripting language and can be used to cloak, call (like with ssi),create data bases in the old DBF format and many many different things.

Terrific, thank Conrad.
