Strange Google or site ?

@NEWTOONDec 05.2005

I have a small question about Google visit of my website :
~~[URL=http://www.imaginascience.com]~~http://www.imaginascience.com[/URL]

(unfortunately the server is under maintenance today but that does not matter for the problem i think)

I use variables in GET for the shop but very strangely, Google saw one “selection” of my shop, i.e.

~~[URL=http://www.imaginascience.com/boutique/pages/selection.php?selection=recence&numero=1&page=1#haut]~~http://www.imaginascience.com/boutique/pages/selection.php?selection=recence&numero=1&page=1[/URL]

Normally, it first should have seen the link with

[CODE]#haut[/CODE]

at the end of the line. So I’m wondering if this #haut prevents Google to see the rest (of my catalogue). If it sees this page, why is it the only one to come out (it is good news for me anyway) ?
It is not the first one in my Javascript menu at all. I still wonder where it took that (only) link a few days after my disclosing of my website.

Note : all this concerns my shop. Google sees other parts of my website where there are fewer or no GET variables.

I thank all of the people who will guide me on that matter.

@bokehDec 07.2005 — #It is hard to know what you are talking about but this: [B]#haut[/B] is not going to make google choke.

@NEWTOONauthorDec 07.2005 — #Thanks for the reply.

This "#haut" is just a page link for the visitor to go a little below of the title of the page (which he can see when he goes up but hinders a bit legibility of my pages).

I was wondering whether this way of writting all my links in the shop with "#haut" at the end would not block google robot somehow.

I see your answer is no then. If you are right, I am still wondering why Google only took one page of my shop and not the others.

@bokehDec 07.2005 — #I must say your logic is bizarre. In your page you have:

[code=html]<p><a class="haut" name="haut">haut</a></p>
 
  <!--  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  HEADER (FLASH) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++  -->
  <div id="header">
   <div id="boiteflash">[/code]

Why didn't you just reference #header? Like this: http://www.imaginascience.com/boutique/pages/selection.php?selection=recence&numero=1&page=1#header By the way you don't need the word haut between the <a> tag. It makes the page look like the code is broken. Also try looking at your page [B]with styles turned off[/B]. Yours starts like this:

[code=html]haut
 
  * A
  * A
  * A
 
  * A
  * A
  * A
 
  *
   Off-Reset 
  *
   Culture
  *
   Boutique
  *
   1ère visite
  *
   Liens
  *
   Panier
 
 [/code]

I bet google finds that very interesting. It really explains the site well. Have a look at [URL=http://www.costablancatranslations.com/]this one of my sites[/URL] [B]with styles turned off[/B]. Now don't you think Google would find that page easier to categorize than yours?

@NEWTOONauthorDec 07.2005 — #Thank you very much for your reply.

I looked carefully at your comment and I agree with most of them. My website is quite complex and when I begun, I sometimes wanted to follow too much principles. It made a bit of a mess at the beginning.

-Regarding the "#haut" stuff, I do not want to replace it by "header" because the position of the link is well-calculated to position the window. It won't work with "header". Are you sure I can remove the text "haut" between the <a> tags though (W3C principles for strict) ?

- I guess I can replace the "A A A..." by pictures perhaps ?

- Regarding :"*

", it is corresponding to the upper links : I do not know whether I should revamp the stuff (and how). I am quite embarassed because it seems to me natural that those links appear before the main text (the opposite of your site) since it is the way we read it with CSS on; it is my logic. Yet, I wonder how you achieved this. ?

By the way, I am a little surprised to see this "hide" in your code. Can we hide something (I thought it was not recommended) ?

<h1 class="hide">Spanish English translation at CostaBlancaTranslations.com</h1>

your opinion ? ?

@bokehDec 07.2005 — #<h1 class="hide">Spanish English translation at CostaBlancaTranslations.com</h1>[/QUOTE]That replaces the logo for when styles is turned off. Here is what Google returns for that page, as you can see that is displayed in the Google summary:

[code=html]Costa Blanca Translations .Com - - Spanish English Translation - [ Traduzca esta página ]
 Spanish English translation at CostaBlancaTranslations.com ...
 CostaBlancaTranslations.com. Bambi, 6. 03699 Moralet (Alicante,Spain). ...
 www.costablancatranslations.com/ - 8k - En caché - Páginas similares[/code]

The following code is perfectly valid:

[code=html]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Untitled</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 
 <a name="haut"></a>
 
 </body>
 </html>[/code]

[URL=http://validator.w3.org/]Try it in the validator[/URL] if you like.

By the way, if that is how you want your page positioned why don't you design it that way? Or am I missing something?

@NEWTOONauthorDec 07.2005 — #Vale ! Voy a contestar en espanol para salutarte por tus repuestas. Voy a dar tambien la traducion en Ingles por los que no pueden leer espanol.

a cambiar en <a name="haut"></a> entonces (me parece extrano no obstante que no hay nada entre los <a> y </a> pero si es valid ).

En lo que se refiere a tu ultima palabra, es que el titulo en Flash y las otras cosas abajo la pagina impide un poco la lectura del texto. Es una manera que he encontrado para leer un poco mas el texto en el centro. No es perfecto (es un "trick") pero funcionna por los visitores ...

Translation :

I am going to change in <a name="haut"></a> then but I find it odd that there is nothing in the link but it is valid so...)

Regarding your ultimate note, I use the "haut" as a trick for the people to read more of the text in the middle (below the robot).

Muchas gracias por tus esfuerzos de nuevo y a la proxima vez !

+++++++++++++++++++++

Ultimate Note : if I remove the text "haut", the effect does not work ! I cannot remove it then !???
