John Dirks Jr Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Do the google crawler spiders visit links of PDF's that are posted at your site and if they do, do they look at the content of the PDF's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brown Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yes, and they get indexed into the engine as separate links also. Michael Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmeagle Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 As Mike said PDF's get indexed, but only if there's a link to them that's publicly visible on your site. I point this out as I've had people concerned that reports they posted on their site would be found. If you only email a link to a client of a page you've uploaded a report to, that page will never be indexed as there's no way to get from your home page to that site. So that report is safe from being indexed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
