yahoo indexing problem

Here is an example of how yahoo is indexing my site and forum. They are not getting the title and topic...instead they are using "rate post" and other odd titles.

msn and google are idexing properly.

any thoughts?

 

You need to disallow the search engine crawlers from indexing pages on your site that you don't want to appear in search engine results e.g. rating.php

Now normally I would suggest using the 'robots.txt' file for this but in this case I suggest add the following meta tag into pages you don't want indexed

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

I suggest this because some crawlers like Yahoo's have problems following robots.txt rules when it comes to pages with querystrings.

Just be careful not to add this meta tag site-wide as no pages will be indexed.

 

thanks for the suggestion

 

Checked today and found that yahoo is finally indexing my threads properly.

 

yeah I just checked too and thought huh what's wrong with that?! Yahoo displays your titles correctly now as it seems :-P

 

only a couple pages have been properly indexed.
