      Hello , i don't understand  "Accesible to Engine" - critical factor - that  indicate:

      <dl>

      <dt>Crawl status</dt>

      <dd>Status Code: 200
      meta-robots: None
      meta-refresh: 0; URL=/shop/searchresult.seam
      X-Robots: None</dd>

      <dt>Explanation</dt>

      <dd>Pages that can't be crawled or indexed have no opportunity to rank in the results. Before tweaking keyword targeting or leveraging other optimization techniques, it's essential to make sure this page is accessible.</dd>

      <dt>Recommendation</dt>

      <dd>Ensure the URL returns the HTTP code 200 and is not blocked with robots.txt, meta robots or x-robots protocol (and does not meta refresh to another URL)</dd>

      <dt>My data</dt>

      <dd>This is the content of my index and home page:</dd>

      <dd>and this is my file robots content:</dd>

      <dd>User-agent: *
      Disallow: /shop/debug.seam
      Disallow: /bhimg/

      <dd>Tks for any reply.</dd>

        Hi - perhaps it's an issue with your index page having a 0 second refresh?

          Hi,

          I think the reason you're getting this error is that your entire site is essentially "blocked" from agents.

          It doesn't look like you've disallowed the path in the report via robots.txt, so I think it's an issue with the section of your document not containing instructions for robots to index and follow the site.

          The perfect goes like this:

          <title>Title of Page |  Free iPad when you buy Cheap Viagra Online Pharmacy</title>

          Apple Tablet save money on the best online pharmacy price of Viagra erectile dysfunction ED treatment pill capsule sample. " />

          apple steve jobs ed erectile dysfunction best price on viagra pills pharmacy cheap discounts cialis pill Viagra Pill Viagre Viagrah capusle Canadian Viagra save money ipad ipad2 new ipad free best website for viagra" />

          Kidding!

          I think it's just the last line you'll need to add that let's robots know to index and follow the page:

          You might possibly want to use the entire URL in the first line...

          content="0; URL=http://yoursite.com//shop/searchresult.seam"

          But I'm not positive about that. Like Red Clay said, the 0 second refresh could definitely be the problem too.

          Hope this helps!

          Anthony

            yes , my index.html page have 0 second refresh.

            /shop/searchresult.seam have all the characteristics in the like Anthony said .

            Do you think that add in the index.html page can resolve the problem?

              I think there's a very good chance that adding the Meta Robot instructions will resolve the problem. It's a pretty easy fix so I'd definitely try it out, and if it doesn't work, continue to troubleshoot.

              Notice the last few lines of the report:

              <dt>Recommendation</dt>

              <dt>Ensure the URL returns the HTTP code 200 and is not blocked with robots.txt, meta robots or x-robots protocol (and does not meta refresh to another URL)</dt>

              Though you're not technically "blocking" the meta robots, there's no instruction for them to index or follow the page. Also if the meta refresh is to another URL, that is an issue. well.
