Chris - I ran your site thru Xenu link checker and it did not find any broken links at all. There are no links that are referencing up one directory past the domain as I was thinking there might.
There was however a broken link to an image referencing
http://www.insurance-bad-faith-lawye...ept3_r2_c1.jpg
Please note the backwards reference in this case. While this is not a reference for the page you are having a problem with ... perhaps there is a connection.
Here is where that image is referenced, which includes the page you had mentioned:
- toxic-exposure-litigation.asp
serious-injury-lawyers-california.asp
site-directory.asp
california-personal-injury-lawyer.asp
insurance-bad-faith.asp
bad-faith-and-insurance-companies.asp
California-wrongful-death-lawyers.asp
products-liability-attorneys.asp
Los-Angeles-lawyers-attorneys.asp
product-liability-law.asp
California-insurance-lawyers-attorneys.asp
bad-faith-litigation.asp
bad-faith-lawyers.asp
California-insurance-coverage-lawyers-attorneys.asp
California-insurance-bad-faith-lawyers-attorneys.asp
bad-faith.asp
insurance-lawsuits.asp
bad-faith-lawyers-attorneys.asp
California-insurance-bad-faith-lawyers.asp
insurance-bad-faith-lawyers-attorneys.asp
personal-injury-lawyer-attorney-Los-Angeles.asp
insurance-lawyers.asp
If this list is comparable to the one you have made for the malformed links in the Search results. Then it may be easy to fix on your end so that the spider is not fouled up. Please let Tim know if this is the case so he can inform the appropriate people about this.
What is unfortunate is if you do find the problem (or Yahoo does) either way you will probably have to wait til Slurp comes around to crawl again. I would plan on quite a spell between now -- the time the problem is isolated and fixed -- then the crawl -- and getting it into the index.
If you are in the Inktomi/SiteMatch program the time difference between the fix and the crawl can be minimal ... if not, then as much as seven weeks according to Yahoo's definition. The only unknown is how long the fix will take.
