well, please don't get upset. Do some little changes, let it rest a week and see if the google bot is seeing the right stuff. The bot may have some things in cache and it may take time to clear.

I would bet that your database file is probably ok from the URLs the sitemapper found.
I think your site is very nicely done, better than many I have looked at. The sitemapper does a clean crawl and that says a lot.
The blog paths 'should' be search engine friendly, clean rather than un-clean.

Thanks Eric, I'll take a look at that tomorrow and see what I can find out. I did post on the wordpress.org forums to hopefully get an answer there as to what to do with those pages.

here's an example of one of the non wordpress links that the "layout" folder doesn't exist on my site nor do I ever recall it being there, unless like I said, some module or plugin installed it (maybe theme or something? dunno):

There's a few others, and of course the ones I told you about from xmas time that I was using as testers that haven't been there for months. I have these all redirected in the cPanel, but Google isn't seeing that they are redirected I guess. Hopefully dave is right and it just needs time to catch up or something lol.




I'll do that dave, give it a rest and I'll still work on the keywords stuff as I'm still having some fun messing around with that now. No worries, I get frustrated but it passes eventually lol.
Thanks very much for the comments on the site. I am planning to do something more with the background, I just haven't decided what yet and trying to decide how to set that up so will be a while, but I like it how it's at for now so the comments are most appreciated.

I am still trying to figure out the sitemap structure problem though if anyone has any ideas on if there's really a problem there or not. It's extremely differently structured than it was prior to a few days ago and that one was pretty broken structured. now it's almost all connected but just a bit isn't. Does that matter ? If not then I won't even worry about it, but I'm wondering if whatever is causing that is also what caused the Google crawl to go from 66 indexed to 16? That 66 turned to 16 about 20 to 30 min. after I submitted the site map so I'm assuming it's connected, but I dunno.

I will look at the site map tomorrow and see what you have.. Right off the top, I see all items are weighted as .5 priority. After you run the scan, the weights and change frequencies can be changed and I believe they are remembered in the profile when it's saved.

grab a copy of the database file(backup) and let me go through it once, there might be some lingering stuff in there.

4am, lights out, have to be up by noon to look at a pontoon enclosure..

Jo Ann, I just had a thought. Try running the html editor's spidering program in the tools menu. See if it gives you the same sort of results that google did. Google does cache a lot, so sometimes you have to wait up to a month before that changes. It is said that Google hits every website on the internet within a month. Let us know if the results are the same or different.

CC's spider picked up a total of 40 links, all with green checkmarks next to them. No broken links were picked up at all. According to my sitemapper I have 400+ links so where's the rest?

The spider picked up 4 internal links and the rest were all externals (shop, all the other html files, index.html was external? not sure how that works lol and a bunch of others)

The strange thing is I don't think that the spider is working correctly because I got this when I hit the spider link next to the index.html page on the list, and we all in this thread know that this is incorrect since I do have these all filled in:

(added punctuation to discern the sections since copy & paste is messy on forums lol, the (this is blank) was added by me as nothing followed that line at all.)

Page Breakdown
Page Title: (this is blank)
Meta Description: none found
Meta Keywords: none found
Alt Attributes: none found
Text: (this is blank)
Internal Links: (this is blank)
External Links: (this is blank)

that's not what I got, They were all internal, other than the obvious external links like WP

when you ran my site through it dave?

I just ran it with the site spider in the html editor

Interesting, I ran it through the site spider on the CC website in the Website Optimization section.

Yea, you should try the html spider in the editor.
