cgutzmer Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 I have been trying to figure this out for a while now.... Is there some way to verify that my site is set up properly for search engines to parse my entire site? It LOOKS like they are only able to index my home page of my shop but I dont really know how to tell for sure. Thanks Chris Chris Gutzmer
Jack_mcs Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 There are many sites on the web that allow you view your site as a spider would. You can even setup FF to do that.

cgutzmer Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks Jack! What is FF? I am not familiar with that acronym. I am trying to find some of those sites now. It looks like my site item pages are not indexed for some reason.... now I need to figure out why. Chris Chris Gutzmer

I had a look, and it only seems to consist of about 5 pages total. All of them are indexed in google. Put this into Google site:www.mysite.com (replace with your web address)
germ Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 You can't force a spider to index anything. Using rhe meta tag telling them it's OK is a start. The generic form is: <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> Even using that, they won't index the entire site after just one crawl. But after enough crawls the entire site will get indexed. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

♥mdtaylorlrim Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Sitemaps in your robots.txt file will help. But of course, you don't want ALL of your site to be indexed anyway... Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...?
