Hi, I recently redesigned a site which has been on-line since maybe February, but was never indexed by Google. I didn't worry about it too much until it was getting close to completion (about 2 weeks ago) and I started submitting it to search engines and directories. Still there's only one bot that ever crawls the site and that's Slurp. I don't know much about web-design to figure this out, and I'm glad Yahoo indexes it, but I must be doing something wrong to have this happen.Any help will be appreciated, the site is http://www.youthofpromise.comThere's no robots.txt or any restrictions. Thanks in advance.you need to get some links pointing at the site. That way the bots can find you. Simple huh?sign up for google adsense. get approved and you'll have a googlebot REALLY FAST.But yeah just get on a few directories.Submit it to dmoz.com and follow ALL their rules. It may take several months to get listed in dmoz, but it's worth it.Will do, thanks for all the replies.misterbling wrote:Hi,I am also trying for months to be in google. My site has google adsense. It stick to the rules. Submitted to dmoz in last December, and never came in their categories. Submitted many times to google by add url link, but no luck in getting listed. But glad to say that, from last week I see googlebot visiting my site daily asking for robots.txt file. I had no robots.txt file and then I added it. Next day it found robots.txt and requested for default.asp that is my homepage. Now I see googlebot visiting my site everyday. Down is a line from server log.2005-07-03 07:33:17 W3SVC1041 PREMIUM17A 65.182.100.230 GET /default.asp - 80 - 66.249.64.10 HTTP/1.0 Googlebot/2.1+(+http://www.google.com/bot.html) - - http://www.matrimonialpage.com 200 0 0 66646 221 265But still I am not indexed by google. When I type my url in the google search box and it says no information found. I have 2 inbound links from 2 PR2 sites, and tried listing in many directories. Its hard to find free directories with high PR. Can anyone here in this board can help us giving our URL in their sites? I can put a reciprocal link in my links page. Pleeeeeese
