Search engines such as Google and Yahoo! crawl the Web indexing the pages that they find so that you can quickly find the information you want. Webmasters help the search engines by providing information about what is duplicative information that shouldn't be indexed; they also can help the search engines by pointing them to dynamic Web pages that may not be otherwise located.
As Declan McCullagh documented on CNet last week (see following post), search engines were directed away from certain National Intelligence and White House Web pages. The pages were available through direct access, but they didn't show up on search engines.
On the Roundtable, we certainly can't figure out why this happened. But when Jesse Feiler joins Joe and the group on Monday, September 10 at 11 AM, we can certainly talk about how Webmasters help (and sometimes hinder) search engines. The lessons can be valuable to anyone with a Web site.
