By simulating a search engine spider, Search Mechanics can show you just how much of your site is readable by a search engine.
Some sites are more 'open' to being spidered than others.
If your report results are poor your site is effectively 'closed' to search engines. For example, if Search Mechanics has only found a few pages from your site, the chances are that search engines will have trouble finding all your pages too. If some or all of your site is closed to search engines you need to discover why and open it up before your start submitting. The easiest way to open up your site is to ensure that your site pages are linked together with simple hyperlinks. Simple hyperlinks use the basic 'HREF' HTML tag.
