I've got a couple of sites where I used
<?php include "head.php"; ?>
at the top of each page to include the usual top of page <html><head>
etc and then the masthead and navigation links.
Google doesn't seem to want to index them. I haven't done any
deprecated SEO tricks and they are simple non-contentious
informational sites.
Any observations/experience/suggestions?
I'm thinking of converting those pages which don't NEED php - i.e.
those with essentially static content back to HTML but I don't
understand what's happenning because surely if Googlebot requests a
page it will see the output from the PHP not the raw file.
Or is Google less inclined to index a page of type PHP?
A downsite of using an included "head" section is that title and
keywords are the same for each page, could this also be a problem to
Google making it look as if the pages are duplicates intended as
doorway pages?
Thanks for your attention
