Not listed

[Raymond]

I know I have to be patient if I want to get listed; I know I have to read up on many articles if I want to get listed; I know I have much more other work to do than just submitting my URL to google in order to get listed...

I have waited almost 4 months already. Googlebot only visited twice, first time it only visited robots.txt AND index.asp, then he left. Second time was not a crawl, he just took all my images away and he did not go into any .asp, .html...etc.

Trust me. I am a seasoned programmer and I do know what I am doing. I did no tricks to fool the bots. Every single text on my page is meant to be seen. All variables passed between forms are less 2 and there is no "id" in the variable names. I did not spam any keywords.

I seriously don't know what to do anymore. I am not talking about getting high PR and get listed in the front page in a search. My site is NOT even included when I search google using my URL except for the "Coming soon" page which I had a long time ago while I registered my domain.

Can someone share some ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Ray

Radiolabs - did your home page get cached again with a new update?

Mine gets cached one day behind. I now this because I have news articles and dates on my homepage, and guess what - it now shows the 12th articles as well as the 11th articles. Tomorrow will be teh 13th articles and so forth.
Crazy.

I did notice on the 12th googlebot found my robots.txt file, did a GET/ on everyone of my pages during the day, but the pages are not listed anywhere, on any datacenters.

So does this mean I am still in everyday home page is cached land with no links indexed? What is the procedure?

Yikes! jd

Hello Johnny,

No, Googlebot came to my homepage again at 1:39am and just looked for my robots.txt file (which I have but it is just a blank page. I am trying to avoid any 404 errors) and then 5 seconds later got my index page and then left like the site didn't have any links.

I have a sitemap, links (html), java button menu and alot of text and pictures on my homepage. Doesn't make any sense at all. This has been going on for about the last 2 months in the same way.

Google came to my homepage about 2 weeks after I put my page up and did the same thing but they never listed my page until last week.

I do have good rankings for only one search term. But it would be much better if they hit my whole site to find the really relavant material. I know that the frontpage was added in the last update.

If Googlebot got all of your pages during a deep crawl, you will get listed. It's only a matter of time for you now.

Kinda funny I think, here I am a grown-up and now I'm worried about a "Crawl". Help! I'm regressing!

Although still waiting for some sites, a new one, only a week old, has been zapped completely, every single page....
If this is the "new" system, good on yer Google

Hey Raymond, Johnny and everyone else.....

Good news! Googlebot finally came around to my site and has so far gobbled up about 25 of my pages..... comes back every 10 - 15 minutes and takes a few more.

Thanks for everyone's help!
