VML & PNG & Meta tags

D

Deb

Morning all, my web site has the following html info at the top of the page,
which I believe is preventing my site from being indexed properly. I have
unchecked "Rely on VML" and have checked "Allow PNG", but the code still
comes up.

I'm using Publisher 2003 with SP2. Web site is www.a2bhomeinspections.com.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of all of this so the meta stuff and
the title appear at the top, since this is what all the docs I've reading say
to get a high search rating?

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:eek:="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice"
xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<link rel=File-List href="index_files/filelist.xml">
<!--[if !mso]>
<style>
v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
b\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
..shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
</style>
<![endif]-->
<meta name="description" content="Home Inspections">
<meta name="keywords"
content="Home Inspections, Home Inspection, Home, Inspecting, Attic 2
Basement, Pre-Listing, Pre-Purchase">
<title>Attic 2 Basement Home Inspections</title>
<style>

Any direction would be, as always, very greatful.

Leave it alone, the spiders know what to read.

Thanks Rob, as always I greatly appreciate the help given here. This is a
great resource and I have learned a tremendous amount because of this site.

Next question (two actually).

1. How long does it typically take for the spiders to get the info. We have
submitted the URL's to several search engines as of Friday and we still don't
appear anywhere. (submitted to MSN, Yahoo, Google)

2. When I do a view source on other web sites (ones that come up first on
the searches), the first few lines are just the title and meta tags, nothing
else. Does having this info right at the top realy make a difference to the
spiders? We are trying to get at least on the first page of searches when we
search home inspection and thought we had done everything to do that. Is
there something else I can do?

I know these questions are not specifically Publisher questions but they are
somewhat related as I was thinking it was the Publisher formatting that was a
root cause...... I'm a newbee at this stuff - read a lot of info and getting
a bit overwhelmed.

Weeks, sometimes months.

I'm no expert on SEO, but I hear that search engines have moved away from
putting much weight on meta tags. Textual content on the index page is
important.

Here's a pretty good site http://searchenginewatch.com/
There are more like that too.
Don't fall for the pay for registering your site for better positioning scam
junk.

Just keep at it, it doesn't happen overnight.
