Re: Google Webmaster Tools error
"I note in the vicaima site you have a massive form encompassing virtually all of the <body> of the page. Surely Google will have a problem indexing anything on the page, because it's all in a form. Compare to the siteuptime site and the form you use there does leave some indexable stuff in the <body> of the page, i.e. outside the form."
This is a requirement of the ASP.NET platform. The form tag should be inside the body tags and encompass everything in the body tag. MS is sooo stupid....
"You also have some validation errors . . ." ya all good sites do.
And everyone is right about your site sir. There is not one word of readable content (for a SE or vision-impaired human) on your index page. Google thinks it's a blank page. What do you think google will do w/ a blank page?
Flash intros and sites are nice but Google killed them off years ago by being very republican (out of touch w/ reality), about it. They've said, in essence, "Don't use a flash intro or we will penalize you in our ranking, perhaps even dropping you altogether, unless, of course, you happen to be 'connected' in which case it won't hurt you at all."
So in short <b>you wanna do better in the SE's? Then loose the flash Intro.</b> Try a flash header instead.
