Hi there.
I was trying out this new SEO page i found at http://www.webconfs.com/
I was just curious as to why didn't it spider my whole site?
I notice there are a couple of cgi bin/no login type entries
could this be a problem for page rankings?
How do i add the site map to my home page?

A user would not be able to click on the CGI links. They go nowhere because the Actinic CGI uses the refering page to try to go back to.

Create a robots.txt file in your root folder and put this in it:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin

Thanks Bob,
I added the robots text and the site map but it isn't picking up the site map. Any ideas why?

Cheers,

I don't think any spider can follow the javascript tree menu. I just tried this simulator myself and all it seems to do is check the home page for obvious links (<a>). It does not go any deeper and does not seem to read robots.txt. Not really much of a simulator.
