Google, etc. : Allowing access to Pages ?

[SecondSight]

Hello !

On my community, Pages' articles can be accessed by guests, but not by Google and other search bots...

Search engines are part of a group, so I've had a look at the group's permissions but found nothing regarding Pages (I only found Forums, Gallery, Downloads, Calendar).

How should I proceed to allow Pages access to search bots ?

Thank you.

Says who?

Crawlers act like guests and see exactly the same things as guests. (Unless you disallow things in the robots.txt)

All board's topics, blogs' entries, images in my Gallery can be found in Google. But the content in Pages, which can be read as a guest, can't be found in search engines...

I've checked the permissions for search engines and guests , in the ACP groups section and in the Pages' pages section and they are ok...

This is my robots.txt content :

Is there something wrong in it ?

Please post your site and a Pages URL that is missing.

Here is my board : http://forums-enseignants-du-primaire.com/

All articles in Pages are here : http://forums-enseignants-du-primaire.com/index.html/

Thank you.

I am getting around 70 indexed results in Google from your Pages database – so I guess everything is working fine. 

 

P.S. Where do you got that robots.txt from? You don’t need 95% of all these rules. 

[SecondSight]

Yes, I've checked and crawlers have indexed my articles.

But I have to write my web site's domain name to make the articles appear... otherwise the articles don't show in the results. As for my board, the posts appear in the first position in the results.

I'm going to make a search for robots.txt file and find the latest one.

Thank you.

Well that’s just low ranking, which has more to do with the actual content than any technical problems. That’s very different from what you claimed originally.

Ok. Thank you !
