Default URLs with 'class' atribute - 08-08-2003 , 02:57 AM






I'm still trying to fiqure out why google has indexed some of my
pages just fine (and keeps adding more all the time) but hasn't
indexed others.

Before I thought it was because I had used relative URLs with
the non-indexed ones, but that explanation was turned down by
many here.

There's one more difference in my code. I've defined a class
for the non-indexed URLs inside the <a href> tag. Is this bad?

The ones Google has indexed don't have any style formatting
within the <a href> tag.

<a href="somepage.htm" class="b">some page</a> works fine for me. (and
Google that is)
Some link checkers/extractors don't understand classes inside the href tags
though.

I'm only a css learner but shoudln't you just apply a more general rule to a
group of links rather than applying an individual rule to a single link?

Have you done any research? Which do/don't?

Yes I did quite some link extraction scripting & research.

an extractor script you can download from http://php.org does only recognize
<a href>,
not <a anything_else>. The bigger ones like w3c.org and hitbox.com have no
problem with the class,tilte or target commands inside your anchor tags.
(google,iwon,altavista,alltheweb,teoma have no problems either!)
