Both Googlebot and Msnbot visit my site regularly my site everyday. Msnbot picks up all forum posts quickly and lists them same day. Google on the other hand totally ignores them. Most of my site is access database driven and I receive quite an amount of traffic from google. Msn seems to be better at working with .mdb files. Is there anything I can do to improve my forum with google?
Thanks in advance.

FYI, they don't actually index your access database, they index regular pages like this one |

I thought Google indexed MDB's if it found them? filetype:mdb "users" However re-reading the original question it looks like Markmeid is slightly confused! |

| Well it indexes the files, but it won't search the contents of them and index the posts |

I find that google is very odd in it's updating. It seems that with poplar sites it updates it's index of them very quickly, with other sites I have it only updates it's index of them once a month. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| I much prefer MSN's indexing, it seems to be very prompt and regular, I think they claim it does a complete reindex once a week. |

Searchbots only follow links, not connection strings (unless they are very, very bad bots). -------------
