site checks

what site checks

[stevelibby]

Someone help me here as i am now starting to go slighty mad.
My sites index page has not been updated since around august 30 this year.
I have been through the site with a fine tooth comb and tidied all coding.
what i need to know is a step by step guide to checking your site, from checking server headers to hosts and right the way through.
i really to get to the bottom of what has happened to my site.
google is visiting the site 1 to 2 times per day, and looking at the index page and robots page, so whats going on?

I have been doing some link checks on my site this evening with dr watson, stangly enough i found that i was getting 403 errors on some of my internal and external pages from my site, can anyone explain what is happening as i am starting to think there is something up with my server?
here is the url to look at:
[watson.addy.com...]

Check all the titles and descriptions are different for every page.

.

Check your HTML coding at: [validator.w3.org...] and your CSS too [jigsaw.w3.org...]

This could be serious [validator.w3.org].

.

Check all your internal linking using Xenu LinkSleuth or similar program.

.

Make sure that non-www redirects to www for all pages of the site, and that it is a 301 redirect. Use WebBug or the Live HTTP Headers Extension for Mozilla for doing that.

thank you, i have checked those sites and all apears reasonably ok. However i am having a problem in G that is making me go mad.
My site is being updated but not my home page, have you got anymore ideas? g is visiting every day slurping lots of pages including robots and index.asp yet no update?

What about the "serious" error - see link?

[stevelibby]

[g1smd]

You have some corrupted characters in your content.

Click the link and read the error message.
