    i have a blog which for some reason isnt being indexed in googles main index
    googlebot visits every few days or so
    site has pr3
    i submitted a sitemap to google
    it has original content

    If your site has a PR 3, then it's indexed. You might not have no SERPS, but your site is indexed.

    I'm not real sure what you mean when you say you find articles from your site on Google but there is no indexing of your domain. If google has articles off your website, you domain is indexed.

    In my experience, blogs index extremely well. Make sure your blog is listed in the major directories, that you ping services (using something like pingomatic) every time you update, and that you are listed in Technorati.

    My blog (in sig) was picked up by google within days, and now ranks in the top 10 for 100's of key phrases and even a few single keywords. My site has only been live for 4 months, so this seems pretty quick.

    If you don't mind, I would like to know your url (via pm)

    I'm curious to see a PR3 blog indexed in Google blog search and not in the Google index.

    (thanks for the link)

    You're right, your blog is nowhere in the main index but there si 32 results in Google Blog Search for site:www. yoursite

    I found a page in the main index cache (28 january) so it's looks like it has been de-indexed.

    What about your Google Webmaster tools panel, anything unusual ?

    nope
    i especially checked in webmaster tools after i had verified my site and there are no problems at all
    ive got stats for crawling and even keyword searches but it says no pages indexed..
    it cant have been deindexed since its never been indexed to begin with

    No, it's only prove your site has been indexed in the past (last record is 28 january), but is no longer because on the same DC, the query site: doesn't return any results.

    Your site is fine.... Get links for it. :eek:

    This is a dead domain....

    site:www.fmuk.com

    I have sent 3 requests for inclusion but as of yet nothing.
    Its been 2 weeks and not sure what its deal is but will try
    sitemaps to see if that does the trick. I will allow the site
    another few weeks after sitemap is added ,If not then all links
    are removed and the domain dies. simple as that.

    thx

    No, Yahoo! return +1000 backlinks for this site. This is why the de-indexation look strange to me.
