Pages Not Indexing
Web Site is not indexed by the Search Engines?
Are You Using Free Website Hosting?
Many free website hosts use various methods of enforcing their advertising banners on your website. This sometimes causes wrong and/or incomplete indexing of your website. If you have repeatedly had trouble with getting your free website indexed, switch to providers that you see coming up in results at the Search Engines, eg. Geocities, AOL, Icestorm.com etc. Another option is to use the free account your ISP gives you, or use a student account as these are usually very search engine friendly.
Your Links are Embedded in JavaScript.
If your links are embedded in JavaScript, most of the search engines will not recognize and index those pages. If you're serious about getting a good position on Yahoo, AltaVista, Lycos and the main engines, either put your links in simple html or make alternative links at the bottom of your page just for the search engines.
Your Pages Aren't Cross-Linked.
Not all search engine indexers visit your website from your index page. If you haven't linked each of your pages with all your other pages, you stand the risk of having engines indexing only one or two of your pages. Just add text links at the bottom of your pages to all your other pages.
Are the Html Tags On Your Page in Invalid Sequence?
An html page has to have this basic structure:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<META name="description" content="">
<META name="keywords" content="">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=FFFFFF TEXT=000000 LINK=0000FF VLINK=800080>
Text body. <BR>
More text body<BR>
<BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I have noticed Search Engines AltaVista and Google completely
ignoring websites that have invalid html tag sequences. Also, when
you open an html tag, see to it that you close it too. For eg.
<font> requires that you have </font>, <table> requires a </table>.
Your browser may display it well, but if you want the page to be
indexed, check your code and put it in order. The only commonly
used tag you need not close is <br> .
Badly Formed Comment Tags
If you have comments within your code and they are not formatted
according to the html specifications, indexers will not properly
parse the tags on your page, ignoring many important tags.
Example of properly formatted comment:
<!-- This HTML comment is correct. -->
Examples of bad comments:
<!- This HTML comment is badly formed. ->
<! This HTML comment is badly formed. >
<This is badly formed>
<!--This is badly formed--!>
Meta Refresh and Meta Robots Tags
Check your code for the following tags between the <head> and
</head>.
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.somedomain.com/path/file.html">
This tag redirects to another page. If you have this tag in your
code, the indexer will usually completely ignore your website
altogether.
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This tag specifically directs robots to ignore that webpage. If you
have it in your code, remove it immediately. You can use it on pages
you want no search engines to index.
