Google Healthy

[JulieO]

In doing a google health check I found that only my home page is being picked up. I discovered this problem by doing the following...

site:mywebaddress.com

I know that this indicates a problem but I am not sure how to research or where to begin. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

I think I found the problem. I used a tool that let me look at my website as Googlebot would see it and every one of my pages show up as a 404 error. I had no idea! I of course just learned a good lesson. As far as it looks to me or any other person who visits my site the links appear to be working. But of course that does no good if Google can’t see them.

For anyone that may be curious as to what tool I used here is the link.

View a Web Page as 'Googlebot'

I've just used Xenu and your pages seem fine to me, the 404 errors are from the javascript you have on those pages.

Your pages can be found by your visitors and by the search engines

I would also place Google Analytics code at the bottom of your pages, makes your pages load quicker.

Good call on the Xenu tool Edwin!

Thank you Edwin for looking at my page.

I spent all day yesterday trying to figure this problem out. heh, and now I have a new toool (Xenu) to go play with.
