Why isn't my text showing up to robots?

    hey all,
    I tried using this tool http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/sim_spider.cgi

    which is supposed to show you what a search engine spider would see on your site and its not picking up hardly any of the text off the main page of my site:

    http://www.meetoc.com

    (place my site in the URL box of that tool, and compare the text it finds to the text on the home page)

    anyone have any idea? do I need to change the markup somehow? Is this tool even that accurrate? thanks!

    Jim

    Text is showing up fine for me using the tool and entering your domain name.

    wow sweet!
    I just did some tweaking to the page to take out some validation errors and I enclosed some text in <P> tags and adding ALT tags to all the images

    looks like its working now, earlier today it just showed the footer links as text
