Hi all,

Some time ago I posted a problem I was having because I had an all flash intro to the site. Google wasn´t following the flash redirection so you guys told me to put an html "skip intro" link.
That done, googlebot finally went on to the main page (march 17th) and added all the other pages.
The problem is that only a few days later it went back to scratch, only the intro page being listed.

The google cache link is back to the unchanged pure flash intro and all the other pages were dropped from the database.

Can anyone give me some help as to why this happened and what can be done to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Wait for the next update that is due within the next few days. Your site will be probably added to the database.

Vinicius... As more people will probably mention, 'patience' is the best answer. Many new sites, and many new pages I add, generally get a visit from freshbot quickly, and immediately show strong keyword results, then may drop out completely for a week or two - then reappear strongly again.

Since Google wasn't aware of your other pages before you (correctly) added the 'skip intro' link, it is just going through its usual initial steps to getting your 'new to Google' pages added.

Same thing is happening here. We have been in flux for several weeks now converting back and forth between cached versions. In our case it is a difference of 7 pages of positioning. Can't wait for the update.
