Witango-Talk: Search Engine Indexing

2004-03-05 Thread Michael Dittbrenner
I was wondering if anyone knows if search engines index tango dynamic pages? If so is there something that needs to be done so they are. It seems since we went dynamic on a part of our site that traffic Has decreased significantly and the only thing that has changed is that we made the

I'm looking in Google and can see that they've catalogued pages that are my item records in a database. Lots of them. Takes two search arguments to get to them. You'll get crawled and catalogued on all pages that are hyperlinked. If you put a form up front, crawlers will stop, though. If

If you have a simple database search - say something created with a witango search builder. Step one is to fill out a form, which gives you a found set, then there are hyperlinks to details. That form won't be crawled. Therefore the detail won't be found. If, however, you also add some

spyware/addware can cause this to happen. Also some versions of browsers that are buggy can cause this to happen (IE for mac is a big offender here), but if this is the case what weve experienced is it wont be missing all args, just some of them. Anyways, I'm not sure if this helps but

Thanks. We know it's not spyware because the client's company applied the MS patch to their browsers and as they applied them, each browser became incapable of submitting postargs to their own website. When they applied the antidote patch, they regained postargs. That's pretty cut and dry.
