Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> google tap or .htaccess help please

does anyone here use google tap with Platinum 76b4v2 the reason i ask is coz my site hasnt been crawled since 27/7/2006 even though i have a good sitemap.xml and have had seo (not quite finshed)i have a feeling it could be because of my htaccess file which only contins this
<files>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
AcceptPathInfo On # uncomment this if you have apache2
</files>
my servers mod_rewrite is on by defult linux machine
need some some good advice please.

Hey , whats in your robots.txt file ? google is can go threw nuke with ease you dont really need google tap but yea that file whats its contents

Hm. Would the contents of robots.txt keep Google from crawling a website? I've submitted mine several times but still hasn't been added I suppose. I use GoogleTap and it works correctly throughout the site with no issues.

yes is it can if A. its not set up appropiate google will not crawl your site or B. it can also block google bot from browsing your site

That sucks, so how would I 'test' my site to make sure it's accessable and ready for google should they decide to start crawling it?

this is what i use , after setting it up and verfiing your site in about a day it will check everything and tell you whats working / wrong and after about 3 weeks it will give percise data on keywords and what pages its crawled and any errors google bot has hit.

it will verfiy your robots.txt file and stuff and tell you if theres issues you can also submit sitemaps to show google were to browser on your site

Really thanks alot for all you replys but i think i have it sorted along with my site map and the more i read up on google the more i hear say its slow now,maybe because they have so much now there geting into same with most the bigger they get the more they want.anyway thanks again for your replys.
