    Can anyone explain why my site has been ignored for all of '05 my The Internet Archive?

    Is it:

    1. My robots.txt (have a look)
    2. The tremendous amount of pages it must index.
    3. The Legality of it all

    thanks for any suggestions or thoughts

    Despite the time delay message it is a fact that they have been very slow/lax in crawling over the last 18 months.

    True, true, true. Why did that growth take them by surprise?
