I have totally redone one of my websites now some months ago, and looking at the log file the 1st visit of Google on my new site was on April the 3rd at 13:29:03 (Google's spider showed up many times after this)

For some reason Google refuses to show /index the new site when searching for it. Even searching on domain.tld does not show the new pages.

The site still has PR4, and inbound links.
Old (and missing pages) are all 301'ed to the nearest page that it used to be.
I did also try to SEO the site as much as possible.

Did I maybe overdo it? I'm calling all the pages on the site like domain.tld/help, domain.tld/contact and so on.

Anyone here who might know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for any help on this... It's driving me crazy!

Did you go to [google.com...] and resubmit your sitemap?

Yes I did at the same time that I updated the website.

In very rare cases google blocks domains on IP numbers to get into the index. Sometimes even whole Class-C nets: where is that site - co-hosted on a VPS, shared hosting?

Have you double checked your robots.txt file?

Have you any pages of that site in Google? Can you use the "translate" feature?

Do you have backlinks from other sites?

There are many reasons why a new domain / site could AGES to appear or even to be blocked!

P!

I had/have the same problem with a site I setup over a year ago. I made the mistake of not researching the domain name for past history before I bought it. Once I did, I found it had been a MFA site with nothing but affiliate links and it must of really ticked Google off because to this day they refuse to index it.

This is after a reinclusion request, site map submit, etc. Google want's nothing to do with it.

Bing and Yahoo have no problem with it.

Comes a point where you just have to accept that it might never show up and start over with a new domain.

The hosting is my own. The server is located in a DC in Amsterdam, and it's not a VPS or shared hosting.
I removed the robots.txt as I thought that this could have been the case.
Some pages of the site are in Google, but they are from the old version of the site. I did not try the translate option from Google.
I also have backlinks from other sites (PR5 sites). Most backlinks are from sites on the same server, but I also have backlinks from other server/sites.

Again. The log file does show that the Google sider has visited the site manytimes (even today)

I guess that all I can do for now is wait :-(
