The site I help to administer appears very poorly in Google search results. While trying to tackle the issue from several angles I've tried to open the site in Lynx browser (the intention was to see what Google robots see):


$> lynx lizavoronina.com


Whoa! All I've managed to see is "Loading" that never ended. When opening the site in normal web browser the site looks as it should.


Is that nearly true that Lynx sees what Google bots see?
How can I start looking for a reason that only "Loading" is displayed?

This site uses JavaScript. Disable JS in your browser and you’ll see that the only (visible) content in body is:

<div id="viewer_preloader">
<p>Loading</p>
<h2></h2>
<div id="preloader"></div>
</div>


A comment in the homepage’s source says:

<!--
IMPORTANT! LOOKING FOR THIS SITE’S SEO CONTENT?

This site's SEO content, such as meta tags and headers, is not here.
This is because search engines, like Google, actually crawl the site's homepage via www.lizavoronina.com/?_escaped_fragment_=.
Internal pages, like “?????”, also have their own special search engine versions, for example: www.lizavoronina.com/?_escaped_fragment_=about1%2Fc1fz3 If you’re looking for this site’s SEO content, that’s where you can view it.

Want more information about Ajax page crawling? Read Google's explanation here: bit.ly/ajaxcrawling -->


So those search engines that support the ?_escaped_fragment_= alternative (for example, Google) will be able to access the content.

Users without enabled JavaScript, and search engines without JS/Ajax/?_escaped_fragment_= support will not see the content.

Try using wc3html validator for your site. I did a quick peek and found 8 errors in your code.
