Hi Classics,
Thanks for the reply.
Oddly enough, Google actually did find my site early this morning — how ironic. But you’re right, it only found the first page. Jeeves, Inktomi Slurp (is this Yahoo?), and “Alexa (IA Archiver)” also found only the first page. MSNBot was able to find 31 different pages.
What could be stopping the majority of these bots from following my links? I’m not doing anything “tricky” with the code — it’s just plain old HTML (actually it’s XHTML 1.0 Transitional). I’m using CSS to style the pages; other than that it’s plain code (no Flash, no Javascript, etc). I validated all of the pages with an XHTML validator; each page checks out error-free.
You probably need more links.
Do you mean I need more outside links pointing to my site, or do I need more links on the front page of my site leading to the interior pages?
Google updates its index usually more than once a day. Yahoo updates every six weeks or so. Google crawls at least 10 times as much as Yahoo, probably over twenty times as much.
Interesting; I didn’t know that. If that’s the case, then I guess I have some work to do!
(I’d also check your html, your graphics aren’t loading, for example.)
Hmmm. Everything works fine on my end. Is it still doing that? What specific areas aren’t showing up? I’m very interested in this — everything works fine for me, on two different computers. If there’s a problem with my images, I certainly want to look into it. None of the images are hot-linked; everything is hosted on my own domain. Maybe it was a brief problem with my hosting company, Carpathia (Prohosters).
Thanks in advance for your help.
