What do I have to do to get my site indexed?

17 years ago

Don't worry about getting your site indexed. You should use that time to build backlinks, web2.0 promotion, writing more content. It will take a while to get any sort of traffic with a new site so instead of worrying about just getting into the index put your energy towards productive measures. The backlinks will really push the process along.

You can also use Google Webmaster Tools to track the process. Maybe you have a setting wrong somewhere that the tools will help pick up.

Thanks

Fraggler and others who have replied;
I thank you for your responses, but
I am not new to this game, just to this forum,

Backlinks are built, site map submited to google webmaster tool, all "settings" are good. Static site not a blog.
All my other sites over the past 10 or 12 years have been indexed and ranked within two or three days. I am getting some traffic from article links and such.
Google will not index this site. Going on 13 days now.

It is a brand new domain, never registered before, so no history problems.

I just cant figure out whats going on.
Maybe someboby out there has some ideas beside the obvious.

Thanks

Once Google crawls a relevant site with a link to your site they know about you. That's all it takes... now you just need to be patient and get to work on other things.

Im in the same position, its never happened to me before, I can't help thinking that google is doing some kind of updating. My google alerts are going crazy.

Ive also tried, everything, submitted sitemaps, rss feeds, webmaster tools, etc. My articles have been indexed in EZA and GoArticles so Im assuming that my site shouldve been indexed too. This is NOT good.

Oh well...time will tell!

You may want to try adding more content to the site, and adding forum signatures. It'll happen soon, I'm sure...

I find that putting the google analytics code on the site helps. Also find your sites RSS feed submit it to google feedburner , and then submit that feed to the RSS directories also helps.

Yes, I had the same experience here.

Google Analytics code might help, although as of recently I will stop using Analytics and move to another service such as statcounter or similar...

I just don't like Google knowing absolutely EVERYTHING about my sites.

A bit off-topic here, but... :-)

I'm noticing it's taking Google longer to index sites. I think it might be due to the Google Caffeine update, which they might be rolling out into production now.

After doing all those the only thing that you can do is to get some backlinks and then wait for a few days. You site will certainly get indexed. In the mean time get into building some good content.

I understand your frustration but I noticed that Google is a tad slow for past two weeks and my recent posts (from two weeks back) got indexed only yesterday. Give it a couple of days more, I'm sure it'll be up.
