I am wondering if I am the victim of poor search engine crawling or
deliberate blocking again.<br>
The fix-it of the robots.txt file done on Nov 15 resulted in a fully
searcheable site by Dec 01.<br>
about a week ago I again had no hits except for direct hits.<br>
I did the usual self-search for keywords on my site and came up empty.<br>
I tried shutting down the bloking cookie for logging my own visits and
my visits log.<br>
However, the site is completely invisible to keyword searches ..... <br>
<br>
One thing I noticed is that google archives pictures sparately from
text so I loaded several photo files linked by a keyword rich
caption on the main page. Now to wait 5-15 days for that to be crawled
and do a reverse search to see if the info on the captions is keyword
searcheable. <br>
<br>
Keeping the content searcheable is becoming quite frustrating .<br>
<br>
What else should I look for to determine what is happening?<br>

In related news, see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/robots.txt">http://www.whitehouse.gov/robots.txt</a>
It's quite spectacular for a robots.txt and indicative of
just how many things the government would rather not see
archived.
