Hello anyone,

I have built pages within my websites that have a left side table containing many informations.
All of my pages have a table that contains the same information. How do I stop the search engine robots from crawling the content of the table? This is because from my stat I can see that for every keyword typed, only my index page will show up as a result, and I dont see my sub index pages showing up.

On the other hand, another website of mine which has no table on every page, I can detect the sub index pages showing up as a result for each query in the search engines.

What gives?

Im not sure im understanding what you are saying. Im probably reading it wrong.

Are you trying to get the search engines to show more pages other than your index page?

Or are you trying to prevent the Search engines from indexing all pages except your index page?

AFAIK you cant get the SE's to ignore only part of your page, but i could be wrong on that.

If the table code shows up in the page source, it will be crawled by the SE.

Yes, I am trying to get SEs to show more of my pages other than the index page.

Bud_bundy, to get more pages indexed by the search engines, you need to make sure that the spiders can find them easily.

Sometimes you navigation is not enough, i try to make it easier for the SE's by creating a site map, and making sure that each page is linked from at least one other. Dont over do it, but try to make it as easy as possible.

Have you read Successful site in 12 months [webmasterworld.com]? Pay particular attention points G and H

Bud,

Just add a ?subject= to the end of your mailto.

Example: "mailto:someone@somedomain.com?subject=somesubject"

Hope this helps
