PHP Site w/ Google Issue

[K_S__Katz]

I submitted my client's site: http://www.bocascientific.com/ which was coded in PHP to Google approximately 10 weeks ago and Googlebot visited on BocaScientific.com on 6/18/03:
Googlebot/2.1+(+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) - 2003-06-18 18:52:45 64.68.82.74 - GET /default.php 200 32773 HTTP/1.0 Googlebot/2.1+(+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) - 2003-06-18 20:37:39 67.34.50.139 - GET /stylesheet.css 304 140 HTTP/1.1

It's been almost a month since Google spidered the default.php page and it's showing in Google's cache (http://216.239.57.104/search?q=cache:yZiXuPeOmfMJ:[url]www.bocascientific.com/+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8[/url]) but I can't find the site in any searches on Google.

I've talked to several people and gotten conflicting responses:
- It's the session id's/PHP code on the site
- It's Google

I'd appreciate any help on this matter. More specifically, if from someone who built a PHP website, submitted it to Google in Apr 2003 and is having no issues w/ Google.

Thanks,

K.S. Katz 😕

Google only updates their website every month or two, so they may have not spidered your website in time for the latest update. Further, Google has been way off schedule with their updates lately as well.

Also, theres no guarentee that your site will rank well enough to appear on the first page, second page, or even at all.

Session IDs CAN cause problems with spidering, as spiders tend to avoid sites with query strings.

PHP code itself has NOTHING to do with it, as the Googlebot will only get client-side stuff, ie HTML and JavaScript. It can't distinguish between a PHP powered site and say, an ASP site, or even a static HTML one.
