- I tried a spider simulator with the slideshow removed and it still reads the HTML as text. So I am assuming the errors from the slide show are probably not the ones causing the bot to read the HTML as text. I am using a lot of js on my site, the mootools script ect. perhaps this is the problem?

In general, when tracking things down, the best thing to do is to disable everything, and test, making sure that the problem is gone. Then, one by one, start adding things, until the problem returns.
Javascript, however, should not be your problem, since spiders ignore it (unless there is a malformed script tag, but then you would expect JS to show up in the spidered text, and what we see is HTML). - www.gofftech.com Web Design

- I agree, you will probably find that it's one thing in particular causing most of the problems. If you've disabled all the add-ons and it's still having problems, turn to the content and go through that the same way.

A few obvious issues:
> as mentioned above, the slideshow doesn't validate.
> VOTD module doesn't validate.
> Your footer has two <br> tags (use <br /> instead. You've also used align=center (which you shouldn't)
> The Expose image scroller doesn't validate.
As suggested by the knowledgeable folk above, disable all the modules and re-enable them again one by one to pinpoint the naughty ones.
Hope that helps. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

I have the same problem. I also used de spider simulator on seochat.com. First lines of the result are:
"visit holland home fxtab background none filter progid dximagetransform microsoft alphaimageloader src 'templates rt versatility iii images style3 fx tab png' sizingmethod 'scale' enabled 'true' img behavior url http www visitholland nl templates rt versatility iii css iepngfix htc td left div moduletable td right div moduletable td left div moduletable hilite1 td right div"
I haven't changes anything anything in the template itself, only published some modules on the homepage.
Any idea how to solve this?
