Can't figure out why my site won't even get indexed!

Hello DPr's!

I've been working on the site izeva dot com and I've verified it via my google webmaster account, got about 500 links pointed to it (directory submissions, good quality), and I even added adsense to the site in the hoped of at least forcing google to visit and index the page. Even if you enter the domain name into google search, it doesn't find it.

At this point in time, I'm really at a loss at what else to try -

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

I just visited your robots.txt and it say's
User-agent: *
Disallow:

You're disallowing search engine bots that is why your site not getting indexed.
create a file and name it robots.txt file and add these lines

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Then upload it on the main directory of your host. Usually it will take 1-3 days before bots could indexed your site. Be sure to ping your site on your Google webmaster account, so that they could check out your site faster.

Let me know if that helps.

 

Yes, first correct the robots.txt mistake and one more thing, how old is your website?

 

@khasmoth - I feel like a big dope. Thanks! I've added it and will check to see in a few days...

 

Adding the link to your site in your signature space here... will also help google bot to visit you... instantly!

U can also ping your site to get the crawlers going.

If you are using wordpress make sure that your privacy settings are correct.... I have accidentally blocked Search engine crawlers in the past by neglecting to configure this part properly....

 

You can do social book marking those are helps easy to index pages.

 

Assuming you're using wordpress, you might want to check out a few autopinging plugins - to save time!

 

500links seems quite a lot if it's a new site. You only need a few. I've always found if you leave the site to 'rest' a little bit just after launch. So on a new site I build a few links to get the bots coming around and I don't build any more than that for at least 1 month. For me it's always worked better that way

 

User-agent: *
Disallow:

is correct to allow access for all bots! (*=all, disallow: (empty)=nothing to disallow

User-agent: *
Allow: /

Allow is not an accepted bot command.

There is no such "thing" in the robots.txt protocol - you disallow - if you don't, its by default "allow"

 

Chech your robots.txt and allow User-agent

 

try submitting it to sites that gets crawled often such as digg or put it in the sig of this forum. If the link is on sites that get crawled often, it should get crawled itself.

 

I would highly recommend you to pingback using pingomatic and put some new contents to this sites, submission to Google webmaster tools could help you indexing faster and so the sitemap.
Hope you will make it through.

 

dot worry it will take few days, I had a site with the same indexing problem, I had submit in to google webmaster toll...I had add xml sitemap and robots.txt after few days It was cached...

 

Thanks to all who have made some great suggestions. I've done all of the above but it's still not getting indexed, still waiting...

 

You can do one more thing: Link to your new website form one of your previous websites or blogs.
Also when you have started your website and you made 500 backlinks for it?
Did you submit your website to social bookmarks too?

 

Are your .htaccess and robots.txt ok? Do you know if the domain has been used bfefore?

 

@ChrisBa - it appears the domain was "parked" before but I didn't think that would have an impact on anything, right?

 

Your site navigation seems a bit strange; you should revise. Is your content unique?

 

If your content is unique, keep building a few more links and you'll see that your website will get indexed in a matter of days. Don't think about having your website indexed, just keep optimizing it.
