Getting on archive.org

[markbiz]

I have a site that's been active since 2007, and it's still not on archive.org. I've seen ia_archiver in awstats a lot of times, so i don't know what's wrong. Any idea how i can get my pages on there?

curiosity :)..why would you want on be on there ?

Just to check the obvious, you don't have a robots noarchive instruction on those pages, right?

[phranque]

have you checked your robots.txt file for relevant exclusions?

you should check the Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions [archive.org] or you can try filling out the form to be crawled by Alexa [alexa.com].

Getting your pages listed there is more trouble than it is worth. Once they get them, they will always be public... Even if you delete them.

Be careful what you wish for... =)

In case someone steals my articles, or if someone accuses me of stealing.

I don't use that on any of my pages.

have you checked your robots.txt file for relevant exclusions?

I have 17 bots blocked in there, but none of them are ia_archiver.

I did that a long time ago.

Make sure your server is not sending a x-robots header.... (probably not). Me and Wayback Machine parted company many years back.
