Re: searching help

What are you using for this? ASP PHP...?

If we knew that we'd know better how to deal with the problem.

URL?

Re: searching help

Not the expert on this but, wouldn't it achieve the result you're after if you put the .htm files in a separate folder that isn't included in the address you've targetted with the Google search code?

It could work...

Well If you're starting from scratch there's some suggestions you should stick to to make sure your site is a success.
  • Keep it simple. Use semantic mark-up and solid CSS.
  • Choose a technology and stick with it. If you've got PHP running then use PHP. It'll do the job nicely.
  • Do some reading on web standards for the type of site you're making.
  • Don't let your site fall into the infernal pit of "Design over content"
