Hi,
I have two websites - www.1lillerod.dk and www.fam-ostergaard.dk.
After I have implemented a CMS on the sites Google won't find them :-(

Do any of you have any idea why that can be?

Regards,
Thor, Denmark

If by CMS you mean Content Management System associated
with .aspx delivery, then maybe Google can't find/see anything to
index? To get indexed by Google, my experience is that
Google indexes text, it can do nothing with images (though it
may see the ALT tags - which you don't seem to have), your site(s)
seem sparse on text, and in particular interesting indexable text.

The sites you refer to could be just as easily be done with plain
HTML and CSS, which Google likes.

You also need quality inbound links, if lots of sites think you
worth linking to, and if some of these are prestige high page rank
sites, then Google tends to think you are worth indexing.

Because you changed all the file names from yada.htm to something-
else.php or whatever. It'll need crawling again. Probably, I haven't
looked but it's usually something like that. Have you got a 404 page
in place?

I know that, but I implemented the CMS more than a month ago

Yeah, but so what? Are you being crawled at all, even partially? Do
you have a site map at a high level so the site can be crawled easily?
Sounds like it's back to the basics for you and you may well have
assumed that the CMS has put stuff in place it never did.

Doesn't sound promising, does it?

mod_rewrite is an Apache module that makes it possible to rewrite an URL to
an internal URL, for example:

/foo/bar/blue-widgets.html -> /script.php&cat=foo&id=bar&pid=blue-widgets

The left one looks nice, the right one looks, well, ugly.

mod_rewrite can do this translation for you.

The few pages that Google knows about on your sites have disappeared.
Rewrite so that Google can find those equivalent pages again instead of
getting an error.
