Web page not turning up in google

Michael_jd

Hi. My web page for my local church(at http://www.stdavids.isfriendly.com/)
won't turn up in google. I have submitted the URL to them some time ago.
Would some of you be able to check the meta tags (and any thing else relevant)
and help me to get my page to turn up when someone searches for it.

Do you mean http://users.actrix.co.nz/hallhousehold/index.htm ?

Your URL is to a framed redirection.
http://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html
See the sections on redirection, doorway pages, and frames.

There are also errors in the page, which may contribute:
<http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://users.actrix.co.nz/hallhousehold/index.htm>

You have missing images due to the use of backslashes instead of
forward slashes:
<img src="pictures\logo.jpg">
<img src="pictures\pic3.jpg" ...

They write:
[...]

We are able to index dynamically generated pages. However, because our web
crawler can easily overwhelm and crash sites serving dynamic content, we
limit the amount of dynamic pages we index. [...]
Is it better to have always also a html version of a page if one has a
dynamic (for example php version), then?

When I enter that URL in to IE 6 I get a server error page that reads:-

| Error Occurred While Processing Request
| Error Diagnostic Information
|
| An error occurred while evaluating the expression:
|
| Var = Mid("#Source#",ST+Eposition,(ET-(ST+Eposition)))
|
| Error near line 75, column 9.
|
| Parameter 3 of function Mid which is now "-96" must be a non-negative
integer

- and so on. With the only link on the page being a mailto: e-mail
address. If that is what google's spider gets when visiting the page it
is unlikely to place in any sort of ranking. Try Googling for "Error
Occurred While Processing Request" and see if that turns up your site
;-)

No. All my sites are php, most with dynamic content, and they are all
indexed.

Thank you for your answer. I was wondering whether it was the case because,
as far as I remember, my website was better ranked for some terms which I
usually check like "fakta Italien" and "boende i italien" in the web
section of google, a few months ago and my use of php page has increased.
I understand that this could depend on many reasons and I am trying to
correct the code on some pages but I wondered whether the use of php could
have played a role.

View the source for the link you provided!

<SCRIPT LANUAGE="javascript"><!--
var lookscoolScript = true;
//-->
</SCRIPT>

That's all that google sees!
Why should they index thatt?

Scroll down.

After scrolling, you find the frameset.

That's the perfect site I ever had seen.
Only the #$%!@#$%& banner is broken.

I hope you are joking, Edwin. The banner is surely an annoyance, but
there are many errors in the framed page. To start, my default aqua
background color is used - makes it ugly <g>, color codes have quotes
and don't have the #, images are missing due to the backslash instead
of forward slash, font-sizes set with px can't be resized in IE ...

All the pages have similar errors.

Thank Beau,
After srolling down, I failed to see a NOFRAMES link
which would also assure indexing.

It seems to be a good idea to give an alternative html version, then,
doesn´t it?

And if I understand the following sentence properly, a good solution could
be to write links like
<li> <a
href="https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/sv/boende-i-italien.php">Boende i
Italien</a></li>
on https://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/sv/faktaomitalien.php

You can completely avoid broken links and pages by using all absolute URL
addresses on your page, but that will make maintenance more difficult later.

That part of the article is about ASP and you're writing in PHP, so I
suppose this is a general question. Google for 'relative link' and
absolute link' -- there should be plenty of information.

Searched for "Error Occurred While Processing Request St David's Rotorua" and
there was no result. Just searching for "Error Occurred While Processing
Request" returns far too many sites.

A sterling example of the
world's oldest hack to hide
source -- which guarantees
it to be unworthy of hiding.
Nothing to do with me! :) I just wrote the main page, the minister set up the
is friendly address.
