Anyways, here's my problem.
I've had a personal website up and running for a while now (~4 months) and can't seem to get properly listed on Google.
I'm running my own webserver with a static IP (actually, dynamic IP but it hasn't changed in a couple years -- using DynSite software should it change).
I've been optimizing my pages for a while now and still can't seem to get a good listing.
Here's a little info. about my site:
I'm using a redirect page (index.asp) to redirect user's based on their browser (IE and NS). The user is then sent to main.asp if using IE, and ns.asp if using NS or other. I then have links to about 30 other asp pages within my site.
In all three main files (index.asp, ns.asp and main.asp) I'm using similar META TAGS. Here's an example (I copied much of this from other sites):
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<head>
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<meta name="VI60_DTCScriptingPlatform" content="Server (ASP)">
<META NAME="TITLE" CONTENT="Title of my site">
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Description of my site here">
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="My Name, Site Name, Photos, Links, etc. here">
<META NAME="OWNER" CONTENT="My email">
<META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="My name">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CHARSET" CONTENT="ISO-8859-1">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-LANGUAGE" CONTENT="English">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="VW96.OBJECT TYPE" CONTENT="Homepage">
<META NAME="RATING" CONTENT="General">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="index,follow">
<META NAME="REVISIT-AFTER" CONTENT="4 days">
I also have a robot.txt file in the root folder (used a tutorial from this site to make it).
Here's what's happened: Google has picked up my site.. but only if I search for it like this: "site.ca". It doesn't find anything if I search for "site" or "keywords". The only thing I can think of is that I have my url (www.site.ca) within my title meta tag. Also, the link that it gives is only the main one "www.site.ca" (doesn't seem like its found any other pages). My Page Rank is also 0.
Not sure what other detail I can/should give. Let me know if something is wrong with anything above. Maybe you can point me to one of the many tutorials on here (or elsewhere)?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Why not have the index page be for Explorer users and then only redirect of using Netscape. Statistically, Explorer users out number Netscape users by quit a bit anyway.
Don't know if that is causing the problem or not. I have a site set up the way I just described and it ranks quite well across the board.
