Any other sites I have submitted have been fine but Google only listed it based on a holding page saying new website coming soon, which is how it was at the time. I resubmitted the site a month later when it was complete in August but Google have never updated their listing. In September I updated my own site (web design and linked both sites and also some reciprocal sites based on the clients field. My site has updated on Google but my clients site hasn't
I used Google webmaster tools and it came back with no errors so I cant understand why Google isn't updating my clients site. Last week I also used a SEO tool I found on netcraft and it informed me the site was 82% compatable, so I really can't understand why Google aren't updating it.
I looked last week at the webstats and Google robot visited the site on the 9th November. Ive looked today in the hope that it has been updated but I cant find it at all now on Google.
Is it worth me using Google webmaster tools to ask them to reconsider listing the site?
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks
I haven't bothered to submit a site to any seach engine for quite a few years - backlinks are all it takes to get indexed, and without them, even a submitted site does not usually stay in the index.
In addition to backlinks, try submitting a sitemap and definitely set up a Webmaster Tools account to receive feedback and to have an authenticated channel for your communications to Google.
Alternate option: use bookmarking sites, they also helps in indexing of the page.
