I noticed that when Google Bot visits my index page it always reads to 51.47 KB when my index page is a lot bigger than that. And it never gets to the end of the page. Can anyone explain to me how exactly does it read or to be more specific if I was to look into HTML properties of index how would I calculate where exactly does it stop.
Thank you
1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes = 1024 character
51.47 kilobytes = 51.47 x 1024 = 52,706 bytes = 52,705 characters.
Write a php script to read the index file for 52,705 characters and that's the point.
Hmm, do I made any mistakes? :)
Do you think Flash buttons would have something to do with it?
Not unless the code is wrong or something.
If so is there a script that can make Bot by pass them and go trough the page?
If you think that's what's causing the problem, you can do something like this:
<script language="JavaScript" src="flashscript.js"></script>
And then put the Flash embed code into the script like this:
document.write("<embed flash movie code>");
Would you mind posting your code?

But if that is the code that Googlebot isn't indexing after then what I would do is move this code into an external JavaScript:
<!--
beginSTM("yfatchr","static","0","0","none","false","false","310","20","0","250","","blank.gif");
beginSTMB("auto","0","0","vertically","blank.gif","0","0","0","1","

endSTMB();
endSTM();

Then I would save that script in a separate folder called 'scripts' and reference it after the </HTML> tag if possible, like this:
</html>
<script language="JavaScript" src="scripts/externaljsfile.js"></script>
Because I don't think Googlebot indexes anything after the </HTML> tag - though I could be wrong.
And finally I would use the robots.txt file to disallow Googlebot from the 'scripts' folder.
That way there is no way that Googlebot can trip over your JavaScript code.
You'll need a type="text/javascript" attribute on that <script> tag too.
Yeah it is bad coding. But how will Googlebot know if it doesn't go past the </HTML> tag?
Although I suppose there are other things to consider such as HTML validation and how different browser's will handle it.
Anyways, after looking at your site Raven_X, it wouldn't be possible to move that script anywhere anyways because it's your navigation. If you move the code, you move your navigation. Just move it to an external JavaScript, place it in a separate folder and disallow that folder from the SE's and you should be fine.
