I have worked on a couple of sites which google's bot visits, partially lists
and then goes away again.
MSN and Yahoo are fine and working.
Can anyone please suggest what, if anything, is wrong with these sites? Frankly
I am a bit baffled at the moment! I am wondering if there is a problem with the
page headers and googlebot?
All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Place this in the head of every page:

IIRC bots may enter from any page so this may help.

It won't do anything. Robots ignore meta tags like that as they index
what they can anyway by default. It would be useful if the relevant
robots.txts were displayed here.

Thank you Adrienne - I see nothing nasty in the robot.txt files as well! It
still leaves me baffled as to why Google is behaving this way.

How long have you waited? You do have to be patient. MSN have made
some claims about indexing more often than Google and I believe this
could be true. Google does find the front page for one of the sites.

Don't assume that if you submit your site to one engine the others will also
pick it up (unless it's Google). Submit your site to Google directly: http://www.google.com/addurl/
Incidentally the others search engines do eventually pick up any site that
Google lists, they know who the top search engine is even if MS *still*
doesn't. ;-)
This page still does not have <meta name="robots" content="ALL"> in the head
so I assume there may be others that don't. It may not be absolute necessity
to have this tag on every page but what can it hurt? I always plan for the
worst and hope for the best. http://www.stevenhenson.com/spider_map.htm
There's also a trailing slash after the word "ALL" in the tag you're using.
I don't know if this will cause a problem but I would omit it just in case.
If you have submitted your site recently it may (surely?) take two weeks to
several months before it gets listed.
Good Luck,
me

Not sure if this is what is causing it, but on www.stevenhenson.com there
are some markup errors that might be confusing Google. Google _might_
think it is going in an endless loop, therefore getting out before it
sticks its toe in the water.< http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%

upgraded to stylesheets instead of tables, and use semantic markup, eg:

Hello guys,
I've been building a search facility for an intranet site I'm part of

It mostly works, however there have been a few niggling problems and

thinking that it might be worth starting the logic from scratch and
rebuilding this again.
Basically we have a simple search, which is simply a...

To which I say, what the fuck?!
I may be missing something, but at what point when learning C++

STL comes up it's not I, but a manager who says effectively

Hi,
I'm developning ASP.Net 2.0 application which will use Google Map.
The page with Google Map uses master page.
As Google map uses client-side script, the first problem is where do I
have to run Google Map creation and population script?
I can't run it in master page on load, as this master page is used by
another pages, which do not use Google map.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
