Default images/google, google.ca, uk, fr, it, ru, in???

I don't understand what is happening with my website at http://www.especially4her.com/

My URL is not new and the only thing I have changed is better web design and switching to a new host with html extensions verses htm. Google used to be my top referrer until the time of the switch (Nov. 2004.)

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Google is crawling my pages and I am actually getting some page rank back... but why are most of my referrals from Google images or other countries?

TIA

There's definitely a problem--when you visit the home page of your site I get a 302 Moved Temporarily error, which should not be happening.

Most likely, the search engines are having trouble with that 302 error and not indexing it properly--or penalizing you somehow for it. When I look use the site: command in Google I'm seeing a lot of duplicate pages in the index--which would explain why your top referrers are from Google images and other Google sites.

There are two issues that need to be fixed:
1-get rid of the 302 error
2-make your pages more unique

Thank you Bill,

I appreciate you taking the time to help me determine what the problem is. Hopefully I can get it resolved quickly.

Dont get the same problem here. It loads perfectly well. I am using a Mac though and IE 5 - not sure if that makes any difference?

When you go to the main url of the site it redirects with a 302 to index.html, which is supposed to be the main page. That's a problem.
