| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | cristina | 8/23/09 7:03 AM | Can you post to this thread the URL of your site? You can use something like tinyurl to mask the site name. It is difficult to see what exactly is happening, because it depends on the exact source code of your site, if the site has correct (X)HTML ma |

| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | cristina | 8/23/09 8:15 AM | Check your page with the W3C validator http://validator.w3.org/ it has many errors, it is a good idea to try to fix at least the important ones.

| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | rishiynr | 8/23/09 8:26 AM | Dear Cristina The Website is working at its best despite of the W3c Errors.

| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | cristina | 8/23/09 10:09 AM | What I mean is that the web crawl error table for not found URLs of Google Webmaster Tools (in Diagnostics - Crawl errors) has data with where the link was found from (in the column 'Linked from') and the date when it was detected.

| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | cristina | 8/23/09 10:12 AM | Do you have 'Linked From' URLs in Google Webmaster Tools for those URLs? Your reply does not mention the 'linked from' URL. |

| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | cristina | 8/23/09 11:26 AM | Another thing is, when did you add to your robots.txt file the line Disallow: *buy*It is good that you have this line in your robots.txt file, but if it is recent, Googlebot did not have time yet to apply it to its crawling pattern. |
| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | rishiynr | 8/23/09 11:39 AM | Dear Cristina I added Disallow: /*buy on 18th August 2009. As far as the sitemaps are concerned i have already done that on 12th August 2009. Since the day i added them it showed me that my Indexed Pages are 29,836 and Submitted Url's are 51,572. Sin |

| Re: Problems Arising From Google Starting To Index Javascript | cristina | 8/23/09 3:32 PM | sorry, me again. If you want to block in robots.txt from Googlebot the URLs you mentioned that have the word 'function' it it, like /something/function.mysql-connect/ do not forget to add to your robots.txt file Disallow: /*function (but check first |
