    Hey Guys,

    I have a bit of an issue with the index of one of my websites.

    I had some issues with one of my sites and decided de-index all my site and ban all crawlers using the KB Robots Wordpress plug`in). After I`ve made the necessary changes, I`ve tried to re-index all my pages again, with no luck this time. I`ve used the "Submit URL" of Google, the section from my Webmaster Tools to send the link to Google manually, unninstall of the plug`in, I`ve waited, and nothing.

    I manage to index pages from websites that are 2 days old, but this website that is over 2 months old, nothing. And all these issues after de-indexing my site and stoping the crawlers with the plug`in for a few days. Show I add fresh content, what?

    I`m running out of ideas, and I don`t feel like waiting I don`t know how long.

    Does anyone have any idea please?

    There are lots of possibilities for indexing problems. It would be easier for all of us to help you if you show us the domain. :)

    You decided to manually have your whole site deindexed? Because of "some issues"? Using some plugin? What a terrible idea!

    No one really knows what happens when you do something like that and then try to undo it -- you will have to let us know the end result. I don't know how the plugin you mention works, but check the following:
    * check the HTML of the pages you can't get indexed. Look for the "noindex" metatag. If you find it, that gives hope. Remove it from the pages!
    * check your Robots.txt file to see if some pages are still being blocked there.
    * check Google Webmaster Tool to make sure there are no "remove page from index" entries there.

    One important question is: is your home page indexed?

    Another thing to keep in mind. It sounds like your site is brand new. It's very common for new sites to have indexing issues, because they have no or little PageRank. You will find some useful information on Google indexation in this resource.

    Good luck!
