Something related to how the pages were indexed of a main section, which contains more then one article was bugged. It indexed the main root of the website as the article link, instead of using the correct unique article link as a landing page.
The problem was that once a new article was posted in this main section, search engine (Google for instance), were still linking to the root of the website. I also posted about this on my webcomic site where I discovered the indexing problem
I have now made sure that when a main section has more articles then one, instead of a welcome page like on this site. The visitor and bots will be redirected to the latest article unique link. This way the search bot will be forced to use the article link and make re-indexing a thing of the past. Making sure that when a visitor is searching for content and find the page on a Marbl-CMS website, they will land on the article page and not on the root where a newer article could be located instead.
