Hi

I have a siteweb and all the pages on the site are HTML at the moment. I am trying to change the site files into ASP and load some content from Database, would this reduce my pagerank, if so i would like to keep them HTML..

Thanks

David

Using ASP won't matter in itself but if you have a deep site, or if you don't have a lot of PageRank then you may want to avoid? characters to be fully spidered.

Google seems fairly kind to my PHP sites including?s in the query strings (up to a point). I assume it is the same for ASP.
Anyway there's plenty of stuff in the forums about general server side scripting so have a look around.

My site is completely in ASP and Google dosent seem to have any problems with it. Although my PR is 5, I have top 5 rankings in all my major keywords and phrases. I certainly have the feeling that Google has no problems with dynamic pages if they are fast loading. Let me also add that i know of many top sites on various platforms with dynamic pages all doing very well.

I have sites that use ASP, PHP and other extenxions with no problems. Not only that, I have several of these sites in frames and have no problems with their ranking well.

A long time ago, both were difficult, but with so many dynamic pages out there, I think the G has worked out most of the glitches.

Just my 2 cents.

I think its actually session ID variables in the URL that cause the Googlebot issue - rather than dynamic content per se.

Oh. I agree. I forgot to mention that I have set up parts of the sites to not require session ids. The only time I require any type of tracking is when a customer is actually using a basket and/or ordering. That keeps the bots crawling AND the customers happy :-)
