Google does not index my link direktory

[dousma]

How come Google is not indexing my link direktory?
If I crawl with Google on my link directory named FFA I only see this:

Hi dousma, have you links to your directory from other sites?

As Nick says, you have to get some links to it.

Just a speculation: I know long in the past, frames were tabu if you wanted your site to be indexed well, yet I have no clue how is that at the moment.

You say "if I crawl with Google"...I"m quite sure you can't crawl with google. Which online tool that simulates spiders did you use for this test?

Btw. did you know your directory design is broken in Firefox (but works well in Internet Explorer).

I used the onlinetool at:

You also sais my design is broken in FireFox but I use IE so I don't now how to check this or how to solve this problem.

I do have links from others sites to my link directory.

Hope someone else more experienced with this stuff, or eSyndicat programmers, can fill in.

My guess is that the url cycling thing is a fault of that online tool.

It might also have to do something with your server...not sure. I tested this tool on my directories, both on main url and on subdirectory, and all went fine. (Though I'm not sure which versions these were, some might have been older than free 1.5).

Well the only part I can help with is the FireFox one.
Open your css and find:div.logo
{
float: left;
padding: 15px 20px;
width: 183px;
}

change to:div.logo
{
float: left;
padding: 10px 20px;
width: 183px;
}

Thanks Greg, I changes the code except that I can not check if it is OK because I don't have have FireFox.

Still the problemm of Google remains.

I checked and it looks fine now.

You're welcome.
You may want to look at this, from google, in regards to frames.

Just to show how Google indexes our directory pages:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:esyndicat.com&hl=en&hs=d3w&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&start=40&sa=N

Looks good.
