a few questions

[running wolf]

1: with my old site I did not worry about no nothing, no SEO, spiders, meta tags, etc but my places were excellent, usually on page 1 with all major search words/phrases.

OK, I was told just give it time.

 

This is my spiders.txt:

 

# alaskakreations robots.txt

 

# ALL search engine spiders/crawlers

Disallow: /admin/

Disallow: /download/

Disallow: /conditions.php

Disallow: /contact_us.php

Disallow: /thumbnails/

Disallow: / account.php/my_account_f/1

 

Now I noticed that Alexa for example and Iktomi Slurp hit on the robots.txt but do not crawl/index the website. ?????

 

Question 2:

In order to speed up my website I followed advice, Chemo is my hero.......

In the product_info.php I do not need/want the "also bought" table.

I do have "cache" set to false since my pics do not require resizing and I don't use other stuff where cache is recommended.

So tried to cut the code for the "also bought" table only to get a parse error.

Shouldn't I be able to remove unused codes or is there more to it?

 

This is the code:

<?php

if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

echo tep_cache_also_purchased(3600);

} else {

include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS);

}

}

?>

 

Question 3:

If I leave this code the way it is even tho it does not show on the info page does that have any impact on the all over parse time? Is the code still 'working' in the back ground?

 

Perhaps these questions are stupid but I'm trying to learn.

 

Thanks for your time and have a nice holiday.

It's almost 80F up here 52mi below the Arctic Circle, the perfect day for some gardening.
