How do search engines evaluate your site
I couldn't decide which forum to post this question since it could qualify into many categories: Search Engine evaluation of one's site/code.
I have a mostly-PHP site which has a lot of repetitive code on many pages. To eliminate repetive coding, I placed common functionality into php scripts--header(1 script), body(a few scripts), footer(1 script).
It turns out most of my page's source code is only around 7-10 lines long...all with php "include" statements. On the top of every page has local php variables to indicate category, brand, and markup (as an example, I sell "widgets"...so I have category="red widgets", brand="ABC Company", and markup=1.15).
Question:
When a search engine evaluates my site page(s), does it read the 7-10 lines of "include" source code (server side), or does it actually read all lines (client side) including the ones from the "include" files?
Sounds like a "duh" question to most, but I've been saying "duh" a lot lately -- brain cramp!
Thanks for your time...
