Re: Search Engines seem to get the same error

I've just noticed something interesting. When my website comes up in some of the search engines i.e. Yahoo and MSN, the text that describes the website i.e. the meta data, also shows the error message I was getting. That means when search engine crawlers hit my site, they must be getting the same error page.

This is very strange. Am I the only person who is experiencing this issue?
Sorry, this is normal behavior. The error text is always available in your document, except it will not display when the FLASH gallery runs. It will display when javascript is not enabled. SEARCH ENGINES always read the text in the source, so it will pick up on this ... It doesn't matter if it can run the flash or not.

Google doesn't read flash(at least for now), so it will simply return some of the text on your page, which is almost nothing ... If you want a better description to show up, just add a META description tag to the imagevue/include/index.gallery.phtml file ...
