paul r Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi, When i first installed SEO URL's my site was indexed fairly well........now only 56 links out of my sitemap are indexed. So the total amount of indexed pages has gone from 350 in google down to 150 today. All i've done is setup robots.txt to disalow access to /images/ and changed my categories menu to a CSS one. could someone have a look and see whats happened? there are loads of products that arent indexed anymore. Is there something i can do with the categories menu? my site is www.myparts.co.uk Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It might help if you put some "content" and "keyword" meta tags on your site. I clicked on a few things and looked at the HTML and found none.. anywhere... :blush: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Is it the categories menu? Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul r Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I take it back!! it does explain it. Thats exactly what the problem is! I'm such a dumb ass :) The only part that has meta tags is the popup picture php script...........and guess what, I stopped google from indexing those by blocking access to the /images/ directory in robots.txt. I did this because google was only indexing the pictures - thats why! because of the meta tags! I'll install easy meta tags later tonight and hopefully that should solve it. thanks for opening my eyes :) Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul r Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 OK done it :) Should I change the code so that the are tags for the categories as well? or is it good enough to just have them on products? Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
