When I search for something on google, it returns a couple of flavours from my site.
For example if I google Edwin Laryea movie
it returns
www.thepessimist.ca/ and
thepessimist.ca/xmlsrv/rss.php?blog=5

The first is the main page, not the page of the actual entry.
(which should be http://thepessimist.ca/index.php/2005/12/16/the_high_cost_of_low_prices )
and the second is described as "File Format: Unrecognized - View as HTML" and when you click on it it is a basically unreadable clump of text.

Is there anything I could/should change?, or is this just the way google is going to handle things?

Thanks

the second link :

The Pessimist
File Format: Unrecognized - View as HTML
... href="http://www.ndp.ca/edwinlaryea/welcome">Edwin Laryea</a>. Now I usually
support the Liberals, but I was interested in the movie so I went anyway. ...
thepessimist.ca/xmlsrv/rss.php?blog=5 - Similar pages

atleast the one I see here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=Edwin+Laryea+movie&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=10&sa=N

(2nd from top)

is your RSS feed for that blog (blog 5)

thats prefectly normal and the "blob" of text looks just the way it should :)

google spiders feeds. you might find someone else that can that can give you some mod_rewrite tips on how to make that URI "prettier" but it wont make any difference to Google.

I have noticed a similar problem to this:

When I search on google, the link on google has the month of the posting instead of the direct link to the post.

Google says: domain/blog/index.php?blog=5&m=200509
instead of
[url=http://www.thechristianalert.org/blog/index.php?blog=7&p=41]domain/blog/index.php?blog=7&p=41[/url]

is there a setting i'm missing?

Should I enable the following?

make certain that you've got your back office settings (Settings Tab -> General Tab -> Link Options Area -> "Use extra-path info" checked ... and "permalink type" radio buttoned to "Post called up by its URL title" ... or you won't get the "URL Title" in the link.
