Sorry, I didn't mean to be cryptic. What I'm looking into is that it looks like a number of us who have started using TNG in the last several months are not being included in the Google index. Our sites are being crawled quite frequently but nothing is showing up in the Google listing for our sites. This effect only came into play in the last several months. Sites that have been in service for over 1 year don't seem to have this problem.
My particular site was in service over a year ago and was fully indexed. However, after a problem with a hosting company, I obtained a new URL and a new hosting company. After my site was back in service with the new URL the site was quickly crawled by the Google bot and over 17,000 pages were displayed in the Google index. Since the initial indexing in Feb. of this year the number of pages from my site that can be found in the Google index has been gradually decreasing. Currently only about 400 pages are indexed. If you wish to view my site it is at http://winslowtree.com. The robots.txt file restricts bots from all but the pages created by the getperson.php and a few others, the same is true of the meta tags. I have been trying to determine if Google has implemented something new in their indexing algorithm that might not like the receptive/duplicate nature of the information presented by the TNG software. Since the Legacy html pages contain few words other than the unique information about the individual being displayed, it seemed to be a good comparison. If anyone has put up a Legacy generated site in the last 6 months I would like a link to their site so I can see how well Google has indexed the site.

Hi Srephen, It is not clear from your message whther you are referring to the genral Google index or your site index by Google. If the former their indexing is being done but perhaps more slowly than in the past. Some 3 months ago I included a Google site search on my web pages and it still han't been indexed 6 weeks after putting it on my site and only had the pages which it had already indexed for its general pages available. I switched to FreeFind where one asks them to do a site search which they do there and then.
