FixItPete Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 The site I am asking this question about is www.thebestcandles.com The site has been up for about 2 months. Google, according to the logs has been to the site and looked at lots, if not all of the pages at least twice (that I know of, and probably a lot more.) Yet, when I go to google, the only page that is shown is the index page. I *think* it may be because I have this code in my .htaccess, but members here and on other forums have said that is not the reason and that my code is fine. Could somebody please have a look? Thanks, Pete Below is the .htaccess file that I am suspect of: <IfModule mod_setenvif.c> <IfDefine SSL> SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 </IfDefine> </IfModule> Options -Indexes Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(msnbotslurpgooglebot) [NC] RewriteRule .* - [S=2] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&osCsid=[0-9a-z]+&(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) $1?%1&%2 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)&osCsid=[0-9a-z]+$^osCsid=[0-9a-z]+&?(.*)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) $1?%1 [R=301,L] <IfModule mod_setenvif.c> <IfDefine SSL> SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 </IfDefine> </IfModule> Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-(.*).html$ index.php?manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-(.*).html$ popup_image.php?pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-t-(.*).html$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-(.*).html$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-(.*).html$ product_reviews.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-(.*).html$ product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-i-(.*).html$ information.php?info_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} P.S. Edit: I should add that MSN loves the site and that I'm having the same problem with Yahoo. Thanks again, Pete I find the fun in everything.

nick106b Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 well, that also does not help, the missing one was a product info page I believe. I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I read somewhere that if google reads the same words over and over again in a page it tends to treat it as "spamming" so it spiders over it... :-"

FixItPete Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 could be anything but that, maybe this does not help : <META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="HEAD_KEY_TAG_ALL"> Hi Again Amanda! Ok, this is now fixed... :) What are you thinking? Too many key words? Competitors have that many too... same level of relevancy... Pete Just so I'm clear... you don't think, for sure, that it has anything to do with that .htaccess file then? I should start looking at other things then? Thanks agian, Pete I find the fun in everything.

Then it can only be the evaluation of that content. Treasurer MFC

That would rule out my .htaccess... as you say, correct? Content is the issue then... hmmmmm... any other ideas? I find the fun in everything.
