Brett, thank you. You are quite right about the indexing. As a matter of fact, at one point about a month ago the status report showed
American Made Yes with over 600 pages being indexed. It then dropped to about 5 and then started going up again. I get the figures from two sources, the webmaster status tool and Marketleap. You can see the 600 plus figure on there if you look at the trend report.
For my sanity, I have stopped worrying. On keyword verification, MSN and Live search include my site, usually on page one or two.
Incidentally, MSN and Live Search do a lot more sensible job with their search results than G or Y, showing a minimum of junk, old and dead stuff., etc. I use Live more and more.
Anyway, thanks for all your help.
The htmle is like a ghost. It appears and disappears on the status report. I now ignore it, since apparently it is a friendly ghost and does no harm.
