I have a 3 month old site where I have submitted a google site map and in WebMaster Tools it reports about the sitemap that: Submitted Feb 12, 2008 Last downloaded by Google Feb 21, 2008 Total URLs in Sitemap 64 Indexed URLs in Sitemap 31 That is all fine but if I check on Google using site:www.duimc.com it returns zero results which means it is not indexed or showing up in any search results. What gives? Why does Google say pages are indexed when they are not. I have newer sites with less backlinks that have gotten indexed in a fraction of the time. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Yeah your indexed. site:duimc.com is showing results. Google treats the www and non-www as too different domains. Just read up on what I just said and teach yourself how to do a mod rewrite in your .htaccess so when people type in www in converts automatically to the non-www . This tells the googlebot the same thing, that www.duimc.com is no different than duimc.com. Good luck. Back up your htaccess before touching it.
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^duimc\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.duimc.com/$1 [R=301,L] Add that above code to your .htaccess file in your top level web directory, it will 301 redirect all non-www urls to the correct www included urls. Expect it to take some time before all Pagerank & SEO weight turns over.
