  • How The Robots Work Without getting into the programming details, the robots and web crawlers basically follow the following steps: On arrival, the robot pulls out all of the readable text it is interested in and creates a list of the links found on the page.  Links set as 'nofollow' or 'disallowed' are not added to the list.  If there are too many links, the robot may take a special action based on that. While the first robot completes processing the page, another robot script is launched to follow each of the links.  If there are ten links, there are now eleven robots running. Each of those robot scripts loads the page they were sent to and builds another link list.  Unless told otherwise, if there are ten links on each of those pages, one hundred additional robots get launched. Before going to the next page, the robots check to see if that page has already been looked at.  If already indexed that day, they cancel themselves and stop. The number of robots keeps expanding until all of the links have been followed and the site's web pages have been indexed or avoided. You can see that on some sites, thousands of robot processes can be taking their turns to work a web page.  There is physical limit on how much memory is available on the server.  If the number of active robots exceeds that, they have to be canceled or memory corruption will occur. If you let the robots run in too many directions, they may not finish looking at every web page or the results from some pages may get scrambled.  You are also subject to the number of robots on that server that are looking at other web sites.  Poorly managed robot servers can end up creating very strange results.

  • Consider Dedicated Hosting If you're using shared hosting for all of your sites, and you link them together, it's imperative you move each site to its own dedicated hosting. If you're not sure if you're using shared hosting or how your sites are configured, check out who else is on your IP with a tool like this one at Axandra.com. Shared hosting is traceable, and Google knows you own all of those sites – so they're going to either "ding" all of them, or only give one site credence in their results. In the scenario above with the bed and breakfasts, just putting each site on its own dedicated hosting set up sent the newer site from page five to bottom of page one in about three months. If you must interlink your sites, and you want to continue to do so, make sure you arrange your hosting correctly. So we learned that having multiple sites isn't a bad thing, if you've set them up correctly. Consider also the time and marketing investment five sites involves versus one site. You have to weigh the benefits of having five against the cost and judge for yourself. I certainly can't guarantee this will solve all of your problems, but it worked for me and I definitely think if you're working on more than one site in a niche or location, you should consider trying out this technique.

  • Coincidentally Google e-mailed me today saying to use a 301 redirect for the https page to http. This is the first thought I had and I tried to find code to do this for days when this problem first occurred-I never found it.

That is the biggest problem. Get someone who knows what they are doing to look at your server configuration - its the problem - not Google. Google has always said: Quote: Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, because most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If fancy features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site. Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page. http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html You've also excluded a few pages in your http port 80 non secure robots.txt which I would have expected that you want to be indexed - like /about_us.php From an information architecture perspective, as Marcia said - put the stuff that n
