Question/Help to the pros

[nRnF]

Question, please give me a helping hand.

1) I have a network of arround 200 sites.
2) I want to display the same a footer at all sites, and it must be spiderable.
3) I want only to actualize some HTML in one file and all sites will display the same content in the footer.

How can I do that ?

I know I could get this running with e.g. phpads, but that isnt spiderable then ;(

How can I get this running ?
E.g. a code in the 200 sites, that gets the HTML snippet out of that external file stored elsewhere.

Apprecuiate any help.

<?php echo file_get_contents('http://path/to/remote/file'); ?>

I assume you are using php then?

If not, then you might want to look into iframes. I believe it is possible for contents of iframes to be spidered (not sure though).

The iframe URL would be spidered, meaning only 1 backlink.

If the actual links are in the source code of each page, that's more backlinks.

Thx,
I will try the php code version, and see if I can get it running.

IFrame is not a option, as the content wouldnt be concidered from the propper page.

Wouldn't a php include cover this?

some servers dont support including remote files for "security reasons", the echo file_get_contents() method works every time

There is a CPanel mod that is used by free ad hosts (the cpanel ones) that allows you to put a ad or whate ever you want on all the .html,.php,etc pages of a certain user.. Or all. If that is what you mean.

Otherwise most of them do it via javascript..
<script src="http://urltoyourheaderbar.com/headerbar.php"></script>

Or something

Good Luck,
