Link Verifying Problem
Below is the message that I receive when trying to verify my links. I threw in 2 pages to do a test run. For some reason it can't connect to any site even if it is working. Any ideas?

Links Manager: Verifying Links

This is normal...Some of your sites will block robots from indexing them or attempting to check their status. You will see this type of report from time to time.

Try adding some other sites, and see what happens.

wow silly me,

but i still can't figure out why neither of those 2 sites can be indexed. They are both mine and have metatags that allow indexing. There is not a robots.txt on the domain either. Time to go after my ISP about this one Smile

Thanks Again
