I did a site revamp a couple of months ago and duly reindexed to google et al., but the url still hasn't shown up in the G index (already getting referrals from AV, msn, hotbot etc.).
Althought the site is in the most competative market for it's type in Oz, I usually see G results quickly.
The only thing I can think of that might be negatively impacting is that I had decided to prepare them for XML, and included the following DTD generated by Dreamweaver, above the <head>:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I did do a fair bit a research (both here at WebmasterWorld and generally) before doing so, and it appeared that even if it wasn't a help, it wouldn't be a hindrance either, so was confident that it would business as usual.
However, now I'm rueing my decision. Do I roll back the site to 4.0 or 4.1 trans, or sit tight for google to index?
Feedback appreciated, thanks in advance as always,

There are plenty of XHTML transitional sites indexed by Google (mine included); so I doubt that is the problem...
Probably just 'the way things go somtimes'... get plenty of links and will (eventually) be well.

Thanx, always nice to get some reassurance from fellow travellers! <grin>
