Help: Google index my website wrong

PureApple · #1 (**permalink**) 12-22-2004, 03:41 PM

I notice that googlebot had visited my website on 20 Dec 2004 - 00:55 and total hit is 648. But when I checked the links from google and search by "site:pureapple.com" , most links are wrong and not valid. I don't know why?

Can somebody give me suggestion on:
How to let google index my webpage correctly? I noticed the wrong index before and wait for google to index them correctly after google's next visit. But it seems not what I thought. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks for your opinions. Appreciate very much!

And here is my robot.txt
-------------------
User-agent: *
allow: /

Disallow: /admin/
---------------------

Anything wrong with that?

1. the robots.txt file is incorrect -- should be:

Code:

User-agent: * 
Disallow: /admin/

There is no allow. "Allow" is the default.

2. I just tried to visit your site and got this error:

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bcd'

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

/config/header.asp, line 49

If Google is getting that tooi, it might explain why "the indexing is wrong", although I'm not certain what you meant by that comment.

3. site.www.pureapple.com yields "Results 1 - 10 of about 32", so something is getting indexed.

I get the same error. A website is not much use if nobody can view it.

Just because google visits on one day doesn't mean it will completely re-index your site immmediately after.

It's not uncommon for old pages to still be in google's index. To speed things up, you should do a permanent re-direct from all those old pages to the new ones
