My Website & Google Webmaster Tools

[HorseOptions]

I've read previous posts on this subject and I'm not sure if my situation quite fits in the same square, so I thought I'd ask again in my own words. Sorry to be repetative......

I've created a google webmaster tools account. I've verified my site, added a sitemap successfully, the home page has been crawled successfully and the index status is good, google analytics is good, but google still says that it's having trouble crawling the following page - http://www.horseoptions.com/userlogin.php - why?

I'm also not too keen on the 80+ (out of 87 total) useless keywords GoogleBot has drummed up. The keywords we've entered into the admin area of 68Classifieds - do we need to have those keywords in the text somewhere on the home page or do we embed them in code somewhere? If so, where? And doesn't the sitemap provide enough info for Google to crawl my site accurately?

Just curious.

Thanks for your time

Larry,

Exactly. Do you know why? Any thoughts on the keywords?

Hi Rob,
You have a link somewhere pointing to that non-existant page. Googlebot is following the links throughout your site and is being sent to that page even though it isn't really there.

When you are loggingged in to your Google Webmaster Tools account, go to Dashboard -> Diagnostics -> Web crawl. Click the "Not found" link. On that page you'll see a column titled "Linked from". Click the entry under that column heading to find out where the errant link is and fix it if it is on your site. It's possible the link is from an outside site you can't control (I have a bunch of these) - in which case you might want to create a useful 404 error page that helps people find what they are looking for on your site.

Regards,
Jim

I clicked on each of the 4 links and could still get to the login page. So not sure what to do there.

Any thoughts on my question about keywords? How to get my site to showup with the keywords and increase it's rank in google?
