Why isn't googlebot crawling my website?

[ashis06]

Hi,

My website is been one month old. But still Google crawler not visited websites. Can anybody suggest ? In my experience it normally takes 10-15 days to be crawled by search engines

What steps have you taken to invite googlebot to visit?

[ashis06]

I have not taken any steps yet. I am waiting for google's first visit. Is it required to follow all steps to invite googlebot after designing a new website?

My anticipation was; googlebot visits every new sites whether you have all necessary files or not . But it's already one month passed my site not yet crawled.

Should I upload nesecerry files like: robots.txt, sitemap.xml ?

Kindly suggest

My point is that googlebot needs to find out about a new site, somehow, in order to make a first visit. That mechanism might be a link from another site, a directory listing, a sitemap, a ping from an RSS feed, opening a Webmaster Tools account - or even just a basic submission [google.com].

In the past you may have been lucky, but Google cannot know that a domain now has its first content unless that knowledge gets communicated somehow. You probably were not aware of how that happened for your past websites. Even uploading a sitemap.xml wouldn't do it unless you also submit that sitemap to Google.

Get some inbound links from sites already indexed in Google. Ideally, these should be from sites you don't own.

Submit your URL to Google: [google.com...]

I've had Googlebot visit a site without incoming links or submissions, from what I assumed was the discovery of the domain name registration a couple months later. Tedster's advice is spot on, I'd go with the incoming link myself as it always seems to work.

More likely, it's from a publicly available stats page or server log. Not likely to give you a big boost in rankings, but often enough to get a page discovered (including pages your don't want discovered). See this thread about 'why is Google crawling my website?'...

Why is Google indexing my entire web server?

Good inbound links are the best way to go if you want your site both to be indexed and to rank.
