CNAME and google

Does this setup has something to do with my site not being indexed?

Hi, i registered my domain at a registrar, where it is possible for me to setup different settings.

And then i host my domain at a local webhotel.

After approx 3 months, I have had my site up and running, and I have had SEVERAL visits from the googlebot, and i have plenty of sites linking to me etc. but nothing happens on google. when i do a site:www.example.com nothing shows either.

Can a CNAME record have anything to do with this?

I found a CNAME record today in my domain setup at my registrar, it was prolly setup by default, should I remove this? It was named www and the value was @.

subdomains that point to your domain should be set up with a CNAME record. Only the actual domain should use an A record.

For example, a domain should be set up like this

"example.com"

@ IN A 255.255.255.0
www IN CNAME example.com.
mail IN CNAME example.com.

What that basically means is that example.com is located at the IP 255.255.255.0. www.example.com and mail.example.com are located on the same IP as just example.com. Hence the CNAME ( see name ).

If your domain comes up when you type it into the browser, then it is working fine.
