There is no way that I could get the home page tocontain all the relevant information I want to show up in search results, withoutit becoming an non-sensical mess. But, I cannot get any search engines to followthe other links on the home page. The other pages (especially the catalog pages)are rich in textual content. These are the pages that I want indexed. In essence,they should act like entry pages to the site. If someone finds a match in asearch engine to a page within the catalog, I do not care whether they start at thehome page or not - just so long as they make it there. The no-cache issuepreviously mentioned sounds like a plausible reason.As for search results, I am not complaining about not finding the site in searchengines, but the fact that it is not being indexed in the first place. I cansearch google for cxsonline.com and get a match on the home page. But it is whenI read through my web logs and search for googlebot that I see that it goes nofurther than the home page.Thanks,Dennis-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
