have some blog at blogspot & wordpress pointing links to your site.

[DELETED]

A whole week already and not showing? Maybe Google is a bit busy crawling the other 100 Billion pages and hasn't yet caught on to your site?

Seriously. Work on generating links and give it time.

The World of Google doesn't revolve around what You are doing, or me, or any number of other new sites.

It's a big task to index everything and along the way they have to decide what matters and what doesn't.

So make sure your site can be crawled then stop worrying and get to work.

Have You submit your site and sitemap to google webmasters tools? That's the easy way to get your site indexed

Try some of these methods most marketers here use

Blog commentating
Article marketing by enzine articles
pr press releases about your site.
rss feeds by feedburner ect.Google loves rss feeds
videos made and created for video sites.youtube
backlinks (angela's packages)
If that dont work then it sure will bring some traffic and get you noticed soon by google

edit: seen u mentioned rss feeds my mistake.

Hi Cindy,

I have found the best way to have your new site indexed is to post your website in your sig on forums like you have. Write a few articles and submit them to Ezine Articles, Go Articles and also create a blog with links in your posts directing back to your main site. I did this all last week and my new site is indexed. Hope this helps.

My site is showing up from referring sites now. But Google still doesn't know it exists, even when I type the exact URL. Even Google Webmaster Tools doesn't see it. Maybe it was that "private" thing at Wordpress (why would it default to that!!!), but I changed it about 6 days ago. I can't imagine I did anything "unethical". If you look at my site, I haven't even added any links to affiliate products yet. By the way Kieran (or anyone), does

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

mean all search engines can crawl the whole site or does it mean that no search engines can crawl the site?

You know it is VERY hard to predict how soon, or what types of sites get indexed by Google. As someone else mentioned in this thread, there are billions of sites worldwide, competing for indexing and ranking, not just in Google but in other search engines as well. You just have to continue working on your site's SEO, creating backlinks by posting to forums and blogs and of course writing and submitting quality articles. Then there is nothing else you can do but wait to see when Google indexes your site.

I just submitted the site into my secret submitter....check back in 1 hour and it WILL be indexed.

That privacy option should be removed from wordpress lol Why would I create a website and want it blocked from a search engine? At least get rid of the default setting to allow the search engines to crawl it.

One article to ezine link in resource box, one article to goarticles link in article body, add adsense and use onlywire. You will be up in no time

You might also try exchanging links w/ other similar blogs. Google love sites listed on the blogroll.

I'm a newbie too(fromIndonesia)..I have 6 months in Internet Marketing..based on my experience..The best way so that your website get indexed soon by google is getting as much as backlink..And the best back link you could have is from social bookmarking like Digg, Mixx, Reddit, etc...hopefully useful..

Hey sdcindy,

I took your website and put it through the bit.ly URL shrinking service yesterday. Then I made a post on my identi.ca account. If you check google with the site : http: // www .website. com command you should see your website indexed. I just checked where I am and it is.

You should be good to go buddy!

Thanks for all your help. My site is finally indexed for my URL. From Google Analytics, I can see I had 66 referrals from backlinks before Google finally recognized my URL. I'm sure the Privacy thing at Wordpress had something to do with it. But I am happy now.

allkeys, identi.ca is just another web 2.0 social networking site like twitter (microblogging style) almost. Basically, you sign up for an account and make short posts (I think 140 character limit) about anything and everything. Many people include links to their websites because identi.ca is a PR7 and gets spidered like crazy!

sdcindy, I don't have concrete evidence on whether or not shrinking your URL and running it through identi.ca effects indexing one way or another as opposed to not shriking and using identi.ca. I do know that I have been using this strategy for a while and it has worked more often that not. Also, I was told that the shruken URL that is produced by bit.ly counts as a backlink so maybe that has something to do with it.

Glad that you are finally indexed.

The Privacy setting in Wordpress will definitely do it. Ive been there before, its on my to-do list as soon as I launch new WP sites.
