search engine help - 2nd attempt

Anon

sorry about the last message...i hit the submit a little to quickly.

i've created a database driven web site that i thought would be accessable to search engines and spiders. all my seachable urls have no ? or & (using php and i've read everything on the subject - i'm even creating meata tags on the fly). my urls are something like this - http://hiptingle.spydigital.com/index/calendar/event_display/31

i've tried to submit my site to yahoo and i get a wierd error. does anyone know that's wrong? for those who care, i'm using an htaccess file that parses my "index" file (without the .php extension) via php, and my "index" file is a container for EVERY page on my site.

PLEASE HELP. btw here the error i get from Yahoo when i try to submit my site.

There was a problem with your submission:
The following resulted when trying to access your document:
location recursion detected for http://hiptingle.spydiigtal.com (i've also tried another url which is - http://www.spydigital.com/hiptingle/)

Common mistakes include:
Misspelling of the host or path
Improper URL syntax.

go here and submit your site to search engines.
http://www.doubledomains.com its a free service and iv been using it for about 2 years (works good)

and yahoo.com sucks. does anyone even go there anymore?

Never seen that "error message" before but what it sounds like to me is that the yahoo.com form handler thinks your url keeps refreshing or relocating. I assume this behavior would (if you were doing it) be frowned upon because it would be very obvious spamming. Just an assumption here ;-)

Thought I better check your site before I made such a suggestion and I think I'm right...here's your header:

notice the 302 and location key.

good luck...
