Are these ads made so that they can be searched and accessed by Google (or whatever search engines) robots? Or are they blocked off where search engine robots do not have access? Thanks.

As far as I know, Google can access them. But I'm not sure how frequently Google "crawls" them.

Thanks!....I actually kind of forgot about this question after I ran a test of my own and plugged in some exact words from one of the current ads. My findings were that the title appears in Google seach, but not the content, so Dave's Garden web programmers must block off the content to the robots. And I'm guessing they must be crawling on at least a weekly basis.

I'll check with them, but I have no idea why they would - it's a free area of the site. (Other parts of the site are blocked off to Google's "spiders" because they are private.)
