  • Typo in the title. Sorry
  • Did you search for your URL in quotes to check? Or just checking if you are ranking for keywords?
  • I searched for the URL.

    • Is this a new site? If so, sometimes the bot visits first and it indexes when Google updates, sometimes a week or more.

      If it's a Wordpress site try checking Setting/Privacy and make sure you're not blocking the searchengines.
  • It's a new site but not a wordpress site.
    It's been over a week now.
    The interesting part is that when I search for the URL I get all the backlinks that I have posted so far. For instance I get my Digg backlink and some blog comments.

    • I also face this situation and until now I don't know why.
  • You are in the sandbox. As time progresses your site will be crawled and indexed more deeply. And once you are released from the sandbox, your SERPS should go up.

    • The site is 10 days old It can't be in the sandbox.

  • Ok I signed up and added my website. I can't find anything related to a bllacklist.
  • Webmaster tools is a good thing. It gives some clues when Google thinks you have screwed up. Not many bit some.
    It also helps to submit a sitemap through there.

    Have you looked at your robots.txt file to see if there are any problems or that you are blocking your site?
    If you want to post your URL or PM it to me I'll have a look and see if I see anything amiss.
  • Thanks for your offer I'll send you a PM. I checked with the webmaster tool and it says that my robot file is blocking the access. The problem is that I don't have a robot file uploaded to my server yet.
