Problem:
I submitted my site to most search engines and spiders just to get my feet wet and for some reason, its not getting craweld at ALL.
Is it because im using postnuke? I've read where the dynamic links give problems due to the? and other special content - Example:
http://www.example.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=pnphpbb2&file=index
When I tried out the tool: Search Engine Spider Simulator - I get a return of:
Spidered Text :
Bad Request
Spidered Links :
Bad Request.... Not much data there for me to go on. Anyone have any help or forums they can point me at?
Thanks

Postnuke has spider unfriendly URLs. So, does its parent PhpNuke. Most of their sites are indexed very superficially. You can try modifying the script and use mod_rewrite to make the links look static to overcome this. The problem is those scripts pass too many variables via the URL. Google and the other SE's shy away from indexing those with more than two variables.
Not sure why you're getting a bad request. That may be the reason you aren't getting any pages indexed. You should get at least some, but not very deeply. If you sticky email me your domain, I'll take a look at it.
