Google doesn't know who I am...

    Yikes! I have been working on my website for about two months now and for some reason Google has no interest in me! With this being my first site I am clueless on what I have done wrong and any input would be greatly appreciated.

    The site I am referring to is www.mystic-blvd.com. I have tried to find my store by just searching Mystic-Blvd, but all that comes up for me is my eBay store that I recently renamed in order to accommodate my online shop.

    I did use an online tool to check to see if my site has been banned --- and yep! In big ugly red letters it stated my site was banned! Is there anyway to find out what I have done wrong? And if so, how do I get back in there good graces?


    Boy is this crazy, confusing and definitely frustrating :0)

    you need a link to your site from a site thats already listed in google. putting it in your signature would get it spidered.

    I find it hard to beleive that you got your site banned within 2 months. What is the URL of this site?

    Actually, I don't know who you are either... :D

    BILZ, see post #1: www.mystic-blvd.com

    That URL redirects to http://www.mystic-blvd.com/servlet/StoreFront

    I know I'm tired and half brain dead tonight but in the robots.txt file:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /servlet/Cart
    
    Code (markup):
    Shouldn't that be

    Disallow: /servlet/Cart/
    Code (markup):
    I'm wondering if the current robots.txt is being interpreted as "Disallow: /servlet/" and since even the home page redirects into that directory Googlebot wouldn't spider anything.
