Includes & Search Engines

[Guest]

When I add an Include to my page (for example a left nav system), the actual
text links aren't included on that page, only a line of code pointing to the
Include web component. This can't be very good for the search engines, am I
right? Is there another way to call information from another source instead
of having to change it on every page?

Thanks!

When you save and publish, all of the links / text etc will appear on the page that you are
"including" the include file too.
It will be spidered / indexed / followed by the search engines.

Search engines fetch your page from the server just the same way as a
visitor does. Since the inlude is performed by the server prior to uploading
the completed page to the client browser, it's not a problem at all....

Thanks Steve! I never noticed that in the source code...

Preview in browser, then View Source from the browser.

The included file content will never be seen from Code/HTML View
within FrontPage.
