Thanks for all your efforts. I appreciate it. Some questions remain.


Hi A. Bulsari,

I'm located on the west coast of the U.S. and am getting about the same
results that Bill & Jim are.

I searched Google.com for these terms & got the following results for your
site, www.abo.fi/~abulsari/.

Bulsari - #1
A. Bulsari - #1
A. B. Bulsari - #1
neural networks chemical - #3 (after 2 Amazon.com links)
Nonlinear modelling - not in first 180 results
Nonlinear modelling process industries - #1
Nonlinear modelling chemical engineering - #4

Don't know why you're not getting similar results - but here in the U.S.
you're quite easily found in a search.

I realise that Bill and Jim and others are indeed seeing what you are
seeing, and probably anyone in the US would see the same. This,
however, is definitely not the case in Finland/Sweden. So I am
interested in finding out why, and how I can remedy this situation.

I could notice the problem only when I found that there was a sharp
drop in the number of visitors to the site (then I saw that people
searching from Google were not coming to the site). I have today tried
to search with www.google.co.uk, www.google.se/no/dk/fi,
www.google.com, www.google.co.in and they all give me similar (not
exactly the same) results - my site is nowhere to be seen, and on top
are poorly related sites. This probably also indicates that Google has
more than one indexes (indices?) and people in the US search through
one of them.


As for www.nonlinear-solutions-oy.com, it's constructed with frames, a
method very unfriendly to search engines (and visitors).

I believe that frames are worthwhile. I may be wrong, but practically all
sites I happen to see have frames. Having said that, I can add that (1) the
search engines are shown a frameless site, and close to the top, it says
that if someone (looking from cache) wants to read properly, there is also
a site with frames, which they can click on.

Please tell me why frames are unfriendly. What inconvenience do they cause
to visitors?


The default page / homepage is actually (& unexpectedly)
www.nonlinear-solutions-oy.com/Introduction.html which is indeed indexed by
Google.

The real home page is index.php. If someone goes there from my site,
it is sent to first_page.php, which is a copy of index.php. This first
page also has a <NOFRAMES> alternative. Introduction is shown only
when the user clicks on that word in the left side frame. Otherwise
the main frame contains start.html.


(The other pages are also indexed / cached; see
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGLJ%2CGGLJ%3A2006-49%2CGGLJ%3Aen&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.nonlinear-solutions-oy.com%2F


Actually, there are some pages Google does not know of, and I have
deliberately had it that way. It knows of a few pages which anyone is
free to see. There are a few more which are specialised.

Just to be on the safe side - even though you have good protection already -
as others have suggested, you might check for spyware. Try AdAware (free),
perhaps? That's all I can think of.

This is unlikely because other computers here are also showing the same problem.
In any case, I doubt that spyware can tell Google to search for the right words
but not show my site.


Good luck ~
all best,
Denise



Thanks again,

A. Bulsari
