I would submit your site to Digg.com and then it should get indexed
within a few hours tops.

Thanks

Not just on digg but on stumble and other social bookmarking sites. And you'll see results for 3-4 hours after.

Yeah I have done! That was the first thing I did! Digg, Stumble, Mixx you name it
That's why I am a bit curious why it isn't out there...

Thanks

a good way to get a site indexed is to go to google adwords.

go to the keyword tool and the go down the page a bit to the option where it lets you search for keywords relevent to the keywords appearing on a site

enter your site in as the URL and this willl send the google spiders to your site and should get it indexed

Help!

What is your robots.txt content? Post it here. May be your code stopping Google crawling?

Hi,

My robots.txt is:

Code:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

So it should be no problems right...

Kaari,

It seems you keep empty at 'Disaalow:' tag. I am not sure of this. But if you keep like that it might be telling search engines to stop crawling entire domain.

Change your code to this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/

This removesempty variable there. Search engines might be seeing it as 'Disallow: /', so stop crawling entire site. Try above two lines that I told you.

.

Thanks

The thing is I can't get to the file... It is kept somewhere in the Wordpress settings and I have not found it. I only have the option to change it in my admin section of the blog. Where of course I have set it to get crawled.

However I took a look at this site seoconsultants.com/robots-text-file/ and it appears that an empty "disallow:" is telling the crawler to index... But I don't know

Thanks

robots.txt file must be in your root folder. So ftp to your site and check under your root folder.

It's probably just not popular enough. Try pinging and RSS'ing the blog whenever you make an update to it, and try to get some cross-links with it's address out there. Submitting it to social bookmarking sites, like previous posters suggested, isn't a bad idea either.

I have done quite a lot of back-linking (not cross linking) however. Written articles in hubpages, squidoo and other places.. I have just done a similar blog that got indexed straight away so I really don't know what is going on here...

On the otherone I uploaded WordPress through dreamweaver but this time I installed via godaddy which might make a difference. I don't know.

I socially bookmarked a new post today on about 10 sites but still not a glimpse of my site on google. I mean I put in "site:mysite.com" and nothing! It's not even indexed...
