How do i interpret this - a large percentage of my pages on a site show up as having ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding the remainder have US-ASCII

what does this mean - should i be worried about it (eg does it affect the way G indexes my site) and how would i change it if its a problem?

greatly appreciate any advice here

regards 3B

It's possible that those with US-ASCII to not have meta HTTP-EQUIV in them.
Open every page in Notepad and add this meta betwen <head> </head>.

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

Right now I'm in a middle of an experiment to see if are differences between charset=ISO-8859-1 and charset=ISO-8859-2 for hl=en and hl=ro
I'll post the results.
