How To Design A Web Site

The Truth About Automatic Content

Have you ever read any of the following?

"Content is King."
"Add Fresh Content Everyday To Get Your Site Visitors To Come Back"
"Search Engines Like New, Fresh Content"
"Add Dynamic Content To Your Site To Increase Your Site's Traffic"


Are they true statements?

Yes.

So you look for a site that provides relevant content to your site automatically to increase your traffic and help you with your search engine listing.

Now let me ask you, did you read the code you added to your site? Did the code contain something that looked like:

<script language='JavaScript' ...

Well if it did then the search engines can't see that you're adding fresh, new content regularly because search engines can't read JavaScript.

Sure, you've got new automatic content that your site visitors can see and this can still be of "real" value. But if you think it will help you with your search engine optimization - think again.

I repeat - Search Engines Can't Read JavaScript. In fact, some of them don't even like you to have JavaScript code within your HTML.

So how do you get new automatic content on your site that both visitors and search engines can see?

There are several ways to add automatic content to your site that both visitors and search engines can see and the way I do it is by using PHP code.

Follow these steps to see an example of what I'm talking about:

Click here to open a new browser window and see page 1 of my newsletter.
Scroll down until you see the titles of the 3 latest tips.
Copy 1 of the titles into your clipboard.
On your browser menu, click on View then click Source to see the source code that search engines can read.
Search this file for the title you copied.
Notice the you didn't find it. That's because I used JavaScript to insert the automatic content on the page.

Now do this:
Click here to open a new browser window and see my home page.
On your browser menu, click on View then click Source to see the source code.
Search this file for the title you copied.
Notice that the title is contained in the code. That's because I used a PHP include statement in my HTML source and it pulled the information into the page so search engines could see the new content.


There are a few gotta's for using PHP like:
Your server must support PHP files.
While it's easy to include PHP files in PHP files, it requires more server side support to include them in HTML files.


You don't have to be an expert programmer to get automatic content on your site that search engines will see. You just need to know a few simple facts to make it happen.
