Hello,

I always use a SEO tool every time I write a page so that I can make sure the page is completly optimized. I have recently begun to redo some old pages I had because I did not know a thing about seo a few months ago when I made the site. I always uuse this SEO tool:

[webseoanalytics.com...]

I also put my competitors in there sometimes. Anyways, today I go on and enter in a new page and than it says that I have NO keywords, my meta matches on 0% for each ect. Than I go down to "spider view" and it shows NOTHING except for my header and footer!

So than I try one of my older pages I did a few days ago, which was fine than, and it did the same thing!

So than I thought, oh it's probably down. So than I enter in the last competitors page that I entered about a week ago. It did NOT do it, so I came the conclusion that my pages cant be crawled!

My robots are set to "index" and "follow" what's going on?!

This is my site: [usmomssite.com...]

Running that page through an HTML validator will immediately reveal that there is a stray <a href> link in the <head> section of the document, that the DOCTYPE is incorrect for the markup being used, and that there are several other minor (though likely non-fatal) errors in the HTML.

I can't be sure, but since the document is invalid, some spiders won't be able to make any sense of it.

Many free HTML validators are available in both on-line and downloadable-program forms. I commend them to you.

Hey, I found it ! Thank you for the reply ! I updated my theme and it caused the problem. I found the file and realized it was infact a html error. I moved it down under the <HEAD> tag and it's all working now.

Thank you!
