I am having a big problem my site is showing up in Google searches but the pages that it reports i.e. a news article, seems linked to
users.php? or members.php?
so why is the article not showing up properly, obviously google is not crawling the site properly.

on a search we get a news article, summary but the wrong link....
Any help most appreciated...

He tried to post examples but they were rejected as spam. Sorry, trampoline, but you seem to be listed by SLV ...

For instance

this search....

http://www.google.com/search?q=australian+film+crew+questioned+by+chinese+military&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&pwst=1&start=20&sa=N

Brings up our site http://www.tibetcustom.com 7th or 8th down

a news article, summary but the wrong link....

Whoever SLV is. I suppose the easiest thing would be to write a better robots.txt with

Text Formatted Code
User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /comment.php
Disallow: /docs
Disallow: /pingback.php
Disallow: /submit.php

Your post also contained the link to your own site. But I can't tell which of the two triggered the spam rating.

It's possible that it was the Google link. I've seen trackback spam using Google search URLs, for example.

bye, Dirk

It's just Google being Google. It seems your password page has more clout in the search results than some of your other pages.

Look at the cached version of the google search result in question. In your left blocks under Other News Sites there is a link with those words in it. So that is why it is coming up in the search results (until the next time google visits your password page anyways).
