    406 error would be from the users web browser not being compatible with the webserver.

    HTTP Error 406 Not acceptable Explained

    Run a compatibility check on major web browsers just to be safe.

    Google cannot crawl what it can't process.

    You are not giving us a whole lot of info to go on.

    Just a hunch, but are you running wordpress?
    (One more nail in the coffin...)

    People like to add so much junk (and I mean JUNK) to wordpress...
    so many settings...
    so many plugins...

    Probably something simple, but you would need someone who
    is qualified to have a look at things you have installed, security
    settings, etc.

    Did you recently install or update something for wordpress?

      Hi Paul,
      No, I did not install or put anything new since May, my site is lovelycaketoppers.com, I use zencart, I just add listings, did not change or do anything else on my site. Google found this errors in Sep.
      should I contact my server to solve this problem?
      Thank you.
      Max
