I actually noticed something worse!
This kind of link ranks too well on google (since the last few NextGEN releases.) it looks like this on google:
pagetitle - Sitename
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?callback=imagerotator&789
galleryname - filetitle http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/gallery/gh ...
and when u click on it in google, it takes you to a long xml file
listing all the pictures on the gallery like
<playlist xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" version="1">
<title>gh-f</title>
<trackList>
<track>
<title>Left</title>
<location>
http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/gallery/gh-f/a-FL1-left.jpg
</location>
</track>
<track>
<title>Terra</title>
<location>
http://www.enjoyluxor.com/wp-content/gallery/gh-f/b-FL1-terra.jpg
</location>
</track>
How can I exclude these NextGEN generated xml and scripts from being crawled?
Is it possible to find the location of these files via ftp browsing (the xml file url is a command, not pinpointing the file's actual location)
:S
Else, to reply to you daluxe, the sites' index meta descrition is a text i wrote (the same text used with all seo tools), same for pages.
it appears on google results fine but sometimes google instead of the description puts the pictures file names (named as keyword lists) interlaced with their position (id) in the gallery:
Site Title - Site Name
http://www.mysite.com/
93 / 117. keyword1-keyword2-keyword3-wg08. 94 / 117. keyword1-keyword2-keyword3-wg09. 95 / 117. keyword1-keyword2-keyword3-wg10. 96 / 117. keyword1-keyword2-keyword3-wg11. 97 / 117
How can we control the info NextGEN sends to search engines?
DO a check on your site: google its url and if you have next gen, you might see some dodgy scripts ranking well....
