Develop in SEO
Perhaps you could be more specific? What help do you need? SEO is a vast topic and Drupal is vast. Give us some guidance here?
I suggest you do some research. Do a search on "SEO" - the first item that appears, lo and behold, is:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/2348
Check it out.
Hai Friend
I am new to seo AND startup. I first developed seo in this site. www.alopalabs. com
Please can you review it and let me know my level.
Thanks.
your site
Well, I think you need to go back to SEO school.
Firstly, all your internal links are .php links. Spiders and crawlers don't read .php links. Therefore none of your content will be indexed.
Second, your keywords and meta-tags and alt tags are excessive and redundant. You will be penalized for this. They have to be real in relation to the content they are tagging. SEO 101.
Many of your keywords are too long. No more than 35-40 characters or the spiders choke. However, they need to get to your pages in order to choke on your content, which they won't do via a .php script
These are just brief observations looking at 2 of your pages for 5 minutes.
In principle, you have to use Drupal as a CONTENT management system and not as a programmer's tool to disseminate clever scripts. In SEO, "content is king" and the spiders have to find your content by following a clean, simple, hierarchal flow through your HTML link hierarchy (internal and external) (and your robot.txt file, your .htaccess file and your xml site maps) in order to index it and rank each page they find.
If all your pages are accessed through .php scripts then none of them will be indexed, regardless of the content on them.
Like I said, study up on the SEO principals. There is lots of info and how tos on the net and even here on Drupal.org. Check out www.webmasterworld.com.
Go do your homework.
php
Crawlers spider all kind of Internet filetypes (.htm, .html, .txt, .php, .asp, .cfm...) and even .doc, .pdf etc.
BUT they cant access pages that are 'behind' scripts because they cant "click" buttons - you're right.

Google can and does index PHP pages. In fact you have 48 .php and one .swf pages indexed by google and you are receiving PageRank on some of the ones I looked at. Unfortunately this is probably a small percentage of the pages on the site because Live has indexed 430 pages.
So, while it is incorrect to say that Google does not index PHP pages but saltydog may be correct in that this is not the best choice. Google has a more difficult time with PHP pages. In this case that probably isn't true because the pages are easy to read. Your keyword stuffing and your duplicate title and description tags are likely causing your problem. You are probably also lacking links to the pages which aren't indexed. Check to make sure the pages are linked to in the nav.
In drupal's case you can define the page extension as html so there should be no reason to use php. If you change the site to .html extension then make sure you do a proper 301 redirect to .html from .php otherwise you will lose the pages indexed and you could end up with duplicate content penalties.
As far as SEO goes, SEO is not on-page optimization. Some sell the service that way but the client will receive only a portion of the benefit of a full SEO campaign. On-page is a component of SEO.

php pages are fine
There should be absolutely no reason to change the default extension from php to html in drupal. There is no google (or other Search engine) penalty, and google has no trouble crawling php pages at all. I have sites (and have viewed sites) with tens of thousands of php (extension) pages in google's index.
However, in Drupal I don't understand why this is an issue anyway. If you are practicing good seo - you wouldn't be using php extensions in Drupal at all - you would be using clean url's (which don't have extensions).
I use Drupal everyday in about a dozen of my web sites - check out http://www.smorgasbord.net and http://celebritynewslive.com.

I agree / disagree
It seems we both agree on two things:
As far as file extensions here is a very good reason to use no file extensions:

However, there are trust and security reasons for providing them:
Matt Cutts: "RJO, I personally lean against omitting file extensions. But that’s just because I as a user prefer to know whether I’m about to click on html vs. a cgi script vs. a PDF, etc."

Above is a good point.
So, do what is best for you.
