Seo question
 

Would downloading a complete php based website and saving each file as .html then reuploading it and changing all the links so it is not dynamic anymore help in search engines and speed or is it no different than a dynamic page converted to .html seo friendly urls?

Uhh.. what?

Make PHP site.
File save as each page.
Reupload pages with new .html non dynamic pages

why would you have PHP pages at all if you were going to do that? Or are you putting them in a different directory or domain?

easier to develop

Why would you want to do that? If the pages were previously indexed it would throw off your entire ranking. If you care so much about html pages, next time just use .html extensions and set your server to execute code on .html/htm pages.

site hasn't been indexed yet and i don't need to make future edits to it.

go for it .

if you rename them all to html how is the php going to work

if you are not using the mod_rewrite

One of my site is completly in php and google normaly crawl everything.

php for me is better, just use mod_rewrite to make it static url.

good luck! ^_^ \/

It may have a short-term benefit for SEs like Google who can be skeptical at first of dynamic pages. But once it indexes your pages, the benefit of static HTML vs. dynamic is not worth it compared to the benefits of dynamic pages (site maintenance, for example).

I'd think more about what's better for your site first, then if all is equal perhaps making the pages static HTML.

It`s all about metatags ...

It doesn't matter for seo if it's .php or .html

What DarkJadi said :thumbsup:

are you talking about downloading one of your websites that's in php or someone elses' then converting it to html?

I see, well if its not a huge difference its not worth the hassle, i think it will be a lot faster though since the database is huge and page loads are taking up to 2 seconds

A 2 second page load will hurt your SEO MKX.

So with this in mind theres your answer.

Good luck with it.
