Bother! that last reply was supposed to be off list! Oh well, the discussion had got around to web standards by that point, so it's fair game.
...and it's a friday afternoon, cut me some slack!! Thanks to all those who have replied off list. By way of reporting back to the list, I'll say... 1) Sitemaps are not the magic fix I thought they were. 2) Inbound links and organic indexing are vital. 3) My map pages are pretty short on text - google likes text. One thing that no-one picked up on was that I still haven't inserted some common metadata tags - I know they say google doesn't look at the metadata tags, but it makes me wonder. Funny how asking your peers to check your work suddenly makes you aware of basic things you'd missed... yes, my pages weren't valid - but they are now!!! ;-p -- Andrew Harris and...@woowoowoo.com http://www.woowoowoo.com ~~~ <*))))>< ~~~ ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
