For a while I have been google searching
"exposed images photography in downriver michigan",
and my web gallery would come up.

It still comes up, but, takes me to someone elses photos.

Why is this happening?
I also noticed that when I type in my personal name and business name,
I dont get my listing in the pages like I use to.

Help?

You must be much more specific. Link us to the actual google search results, that helps.

Andy here is the URL

www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Exposed+Images+PHotography+%2F+Pamela+Stover&btnG=Google+Search

This is strange If I google my name , it still goes to this other persons photos.

It seems that keywording is not working.
Also here is a photo of it. The first entry
Update :(I did go and register with google today- Thank you)

Andy I did a google search today

Looking at the URL, it produces "today's photos with the wedding keyword". I would guess that when Google last checked the page, it was the day that your photos were added, meaning that they would appear on the "today's photos" page. It is now a different day, so your photos no longer appear on the current day's list.

It's not a smugmug problem, merely Google getting confused by dynamic pages...

That is the RSS feed to your weddings gallery. If you go to http://exposed-images.smugmug.com/gallery/2399690
you will see an "available feeds" link at the very bottom left.
Click on it, then select RSS and you will get to that page.

The feed requires an RSS reader. My web browser (Firefox 1.5) just gets a parsing error at that page. It appears that your web browser contains an RSS reader, and that part of its RSS functionality is the ability to drag-and-drop images to the Desktop. (Looking at the feed source, I suspect that it is only the thumbnails that are dragged and dropped).

Unfortunately, it is not possible to right-click protect an RSS page. That functionality requires javascript, which is not part of the RSS protocall.

Hi Pam, it is an rss feed. Feeds are ways that folks can easily keep track of what's new on your site. And, they help you get found, too.
