ASP and SEO

[Andy4]

Does anyone know will redesign in ASP will affect SEO or not? ANy inputs would be helpful.

search engines don't care what you use on the backend. all they can see is the (X)HTML output. the only exception is if you start changing how your ASP code accesses variables from the URL, in which case you should be using SEO-friendly URLs.

so the answer to your question is maybe. if you change your (X)HTML output, then it's certainly more likely that your SEO will be effected. if you're just changing the ASP backend and no changes are made to the (X)HTML or URLs, then it's probably not going to affect SEO.
