    Just a question. I have set up quite a large page wich is organised like this:

    h ttp://ww w.site.com/thing1
    h ttp://ww w.site.com/thing2
    h ttp://ww w.site.com/thing3
    ...

    Now when I check google webmaster I get the message éDetected as a directory".
    I didn't intend this site to be a directory, but ok, I can understand why google think it is one.
    Now my question is: Is this a bad thing or not? Will I have any troubles with my adsense?

    I have added a sitemap.xml and a robot.txt (only disallowing /test and /cgbin.

    Thank you for your time and help on this unbelievable great forum!

    I'm not sure I've seen that message in the webmaster tools before, but could it mean that it found "Thing1", "Thing2", etc. to be actual directories on the website in the file structure?
