I have a website built on ebay feeds and I'd like to make it more search engine friendly. What I was thinking is maybe there is a way to retrieve the output from the javascripts and either add the text to the page or, better yet, render the page with the output instead of the javascript. I hope this makes sense. Maybe someong knows a script (prefereable free) that I might be able to hack.
I'm using a linux server with php, if that's of any help.

Is it for personal use? For instance, you can do a ton with javascript if you modify the security settings of the page.

You need to recreate the javascript programs in a server-side language, eg. PHP.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I'm not sure what you mean by my own personal use, since it's a website and (hopefully) tons of people will be visiting it. However, I'm the only one with access to the hosting account ( Crucial, thanks HostSentry :) ) and it's not for a client or anything.
As for converting the javascript to php, that's way beyond my capacity. I did find a pretty good script at hotscripts (www.buildanichestore.com) which is search engine friendly, so I think that's the way I'm gonna go. Now I just have to figure out how to integrate the menu system I'm using, but that's another topic altogether.
While I found an alternative in the above mentioned script, I'd still like to know more about this "modifying the security settings of the page" as it seems it would be useful to know.
Peace!
