Can search engine read the INCLUDED page?

[rishi1]

Hi,

I've PHP site with included banner and left side menu. Instead of keeping banner in each and every page i've created a banner in one page and included in all the webpages using INCLUDE command. Similarly Links in the left side are also included in such way. I don't know that search engines can read the links from these links or not.

Any Idea will be highly appriciated?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, rishi1.
If the included content ends up in the html source then yes, the links will be read.
