If I put all my meta tags information in a php include file, and included into each of my pages. Would search engines still be able to see them?

@DragonkaiauthorAug 17.2008 — So you're saying that search engines won't be able to see my meta tags that are generated using an php include?

@NogDogAug 17.2008 — No, I'm saying the opposite. They will see the exact same thing your browser sees. If you do a "view source" from your browser after loading your PHP page and you see the meta tag, then the search engines will see it, too.

  • [*]browser OR search engine requests PHP page via HTTP

  • [*]server interprets HTTP request and invokes PHP parser for selected PHP file

  • [*]PHP processes PHP file, sending all standard output back to the web server

  • [*]Web server sends the output back to the client (browser or search engine)

  • [*]client reads that output and does whatever it wants to with it
