Ink listing gone..?

[TMK]

Hi (seasons greetings).

Question.. is there something up with ink. My listing has gone from the PT ink search and from most ink partners (Hotbot is showing a VERY OLD listing).

Is this just a glitch?. Anyone else having these issues?.

Thanks

If you pay to get your pages spidered then log in your account to see if your pages has been spidered.

I had the same problems as you in the past weeks. When I was not able to find my pages in the partners engines, I logged in my account to see that some pages were in "error" (so not in the engines because of this) It took a couple of days to my pages to be back in the engines.

In the last 30-45 days, I saw many problems with Ink/PT.

There can be any number of short term problems from a db going down to INK just working on it. Most of the missing URLs return very quickly

I've also noticed many search/submit rankings gone since Christmas - but we are still being spidered, and there are no errors in PosTech...

Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on how to proceed?

One thing to always check in case of listing problems is whether robots.txt has a problem. There often is some kind of syntax error with those that can interfere with spidering.

Here's the robots.txt tutorial [searchengineworld.com]. It's definitely worth double-checking.
