What is wrong?

google wont index my site :(

[blue_eagle]

I have created brand new web site last month and sent it to google to get crawled. I have also put links to that site from my existing web sites. The main page of my web site has been crawled. However, the other pages are not indexed yet. It has been almost one month and still google indexed only my main page. I wonder if something is wrong with my site or something wrong with google?

I would really really appreicate any help ...

Thanks in advance

Sincerely,

[devildude8989]

perfectly normal. convert your frustration into energy to build links to your site. it will pay off.

The main page of my web site has been crawled.

This doesn't exactly say that your site has been indexed, but..

However, the other pages are not indexed yet

this almost implies that it has been.

The question then is, is your site indexed at all?

have created brand new web site last month

To put your mind at ease about whether anything is wrong, have another look at your pages. Review the code, check any meta tags, titles, descriptions. Are your pages validated. Can you view your site in different browsers. Congratulations, you've built a good site, so go ahead and start with other things you need to do anyway... Content, Links, Directory listings, New pages. You'll get found.

Hmm, this surely may not be your case, but when I was once asked the same question "why aren't my pages in google?" I literally found the following in the site's index page code:
<meta name="Robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

After changing this, the site got in the index soon after the next crawl.

Another possible reason for the delay is the PR of the pages linking to your new site. Generally speaking (with exceptions of course) the higher the PR of the pages linking to your site, the faster Google will index it.

Thank you Romeo. I was getting tired of being the only person I knew who has done that.

I got the exact same problem. made the site late august, and have above 25 sites linking to my site, also pages with a good PR.

But still Google can't find my page when i search for it. I have been crawled by google alot of times, but nothing seems to happen...

Kongen - "Google can't find my page when i search for it"
When you do a site:www.yourdomain.com search in Google, do you find any pages of your site? If not, then obviously you have a site specific problem. If you do find your site this way, then you're probably "just" experiencing the Google lag (aka sandbox), which is a ranking issue and not an indexing issue.

[Kongen]

When i type www.mydomain.com into the box at www.google.com it doesn't find anything, I can then press "Find web pages that contain the term "www.mydomain.com" and it finds all the pages that link and mention my site, but still no trace of a direct link to a single page on my site.

[Boaz]

Even when everything is okay with a site, typing in the Google search box www.sitename.com will show only the home page of the site.
Did you try site:www.sitename.com as well? Call it a long shot, but I could imagine some situations where a site's home page (in the form www.sitename.com) is not indexed while some other pages from the site are.

[Kongen]

Nope, no matches when i do that either.

Maybe the keyword to my problems is PhpNuke?

[Boaz]

Looking at your site, that seems to me to be a distinct possibility (though, since I am only vaguely familiar with anything php related, I may be totally off target).

Can someone in the know help me to make sense of this:

The site is about 3 month old, finally got a
PR2-PR3 on internal pages, PR0 on index page.

allintitle:"blue gadget" - SERP page 1
allinanchor:"blue gadget" - SERP page 1
allintext:"blue gadget" - SERP page 1
"blue gadget" - SERP page 29

"Blue gadget" is the term the site is optimizing for.
Have I overdone it or all those "allin..." mean nothing?

Thanks in advance.

Kongen, if you're talking about the site in your profile, then I'm not surprised you're not getting indexed. If you look at your URLS, you have this:

example.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=68

"sid" looks awfully like "session ID", and the bots are going to run a mile from anything with a variable with that name. Session IDs are unique to each visitor, so a bot isn't going to follow a link with "sid" in it, because it appears to have no value outside of that one session. I know that they are not session IDs, but the bot doesn't, and doesn't want to risk polluting the results.

You're going to have to rewrite your URLs to get rid of that variable if you want to get indexed properly.

[Kongen]

OK, thanks alot!

Now at least i know what the problem is :-)
