I got a BIG problem

I got a site www.twelvezodiac.com, it was listed in google if you type in twelvezodiac.
I need to know why is my site listed as "Index of /" as the heading?
And the folder that has my images linked to my index is also indexed at google...

I don't want them to list my image folder, how do i do that??..
and don't want my site heading to be "Index of /"

Izzit because i didn't put the meta title?

Can someone please give me an answer and help me out...

the site just build and up within last week right?

IMHO, google bot not revisit yet your site. Just wait for another 1 or 2 week. It should be okay then.

Seems that Google has already visited, indexed and cached your site before you even upload your final webpages

Probably bcos you mentioned or posted a link to the site before it was finalized.

From my experience, Google Bot visits very often .. almost everyday ... so you will just need to wait for the next update of Google's index (but i don't know how often the index is updated)

Thanks guys, for telling me. But will they still list out my image folder?
Cause i don't want them to be there... Don't really want people to access to it. How can i stop that?

Once Google has updated the index, your 'images' folder will not be shown anymore, bcos there is no direct link to that folder

But anyone can still list the 'images' folder's files if they manually type the address in the browser http://www.twelvezodiac.com/images/ ... yes, i tried .. your 'images' folder is open for everyone to view

You have to log in to your web hosting control panel and turn off file indexing for the 'images' folder

if you don't want to list all your images under your image folder(http://www.twelvezodiac.com/images/) in browser, login to your hosting control panel and disable the directory listing option...

if you don't want the spider/crawler to index your images ... use robots.txt to exclude it from indexing..

Make sure the links on your site are not broken and the pages will be crawled properly.

Google bot will visit your site almost everyday (i have a few sites and it's the same case with Google bot) .... oh yeah, MSNBot will visit very frequently too

Here are the bots that visited one of my site 2day:
MSNBot
Inktomi Slurp
Googlebot
Voila
Alexa (IA Archiver)
AskJeeves


Btw, seems quite easy to get good ranking with MSN ... one of my site got top ranking within a month for my keywords.... but the most traffic still comes from Google la
