Post mod_gzip and SEO
Does anyone know if mod_gzip will screw with google reading my site?

I know that /. still has a high PR, so i dont know if it matters.

ANy thoughts / experience?

gzip compression is optional, it will only compress the pages for clients that tell the server that they do support it. It should be no problem for google, or any other spider at all.

as for PR, that is generally derived by links from other sites.

mod_gzip can safely be thought of as 100% safe in all situations, even for the oldest and crappiest browers.

Hell it even works with Microsoft Internet Explorer

I was pretty sure in theory it would work, just wondered it it did in practice.

I shouldn't have said PR, should have said ranking(in general).

I need to enable it regardless, but still makes me happy it wont hurt anything.
