Hi Shahacr, A bit far fetched, if you control the web server, could you verify that there is no special treatment to Google Bots in regard to the responses receives/sent to it?
Also I noticed the web server doesn't specify which language it responds with, it is worth "telling" it via the Content-Language header. 2009/9/14 Shachar Shemesh <shac...@shemesh.biz>: > Hi all, > > One of my clients is having a weird problem, and I'm pretty much at my wit's > end as for what to do about it. > > The site is called "Tzofit" (at tzofit.co.il), and is an index and publisher > for Zimmers.
