In my seo newbie innocence, I am wondering if I have done something to offend the mighty google whilst creating my new website www.sci-t.co.uk It has been up a couple of weeks and yahoo and msn appear to have indexed it but google hasn't. There doensn't appear to be any way to telling whether I am just too impatient and google will get round to it or whether my newbie mistake of too many keywords (now rectified) has got me sandboxed ? My question – does buying google adwords guarantee that google will at least index my site?
No, it will not. You need to build backlinks to your website to encourage Googlebot to come visit and index the site. Not to mention a XML sitemap submitted in Google Webmasters Central; it helps to give crawlers a URL structure of your website.
Thanks for your replies! Seems crazy that you can be paying google for advertising yet they refuse to acknowledge your existence? site: sci-t.co.uk comes back with nothing. google webmaster tools don't report any problems - would they if I had been sandboxed? Seems crazy that billions of porn sites get indexed by google but a legit engineering software development site can't.
http://sci-t.co.uk You will get indexed in 24-48 hours.. enjoy BTW Adwords will not help you in anyway in getting your website indexed or to rank well for any keyword !!
I don't think it will helps at all. Google could be rich if they do that, but they can't. What you can do is, add more links from other sites to your site. Google will indexed your site in less than a month.
Wow, big thanks if you've managed to oil the google wheels somehow - will let you know if it does. btw I have added live links to the site in other forums already and made no odds which made we wonder if the omipresent/potent google gods are displeased with my html. I must do more reading up on seo, adwords etc. I initially went overboard with keywords. Last time I created a simple html site was for my father in the mid 90s when altavista was king. It seemed simple back then.
You can build quality links through article submissions, directory submissions, press release, and blog postings.
Still no indexing What is strange to me is that "sci-t.co.uk" search on google -with the quotes - initially brought back results for this page (and other forums I'd posted on) but if I do this now there are no results returned. Why doesnt google tell you if it has a problem with your website?
Looks like google has now crawled your site . check this "sci-t.co.uk" returning 7 results and site:sci-t.co.uk returning 4 result .... btw dpking reply did helped you to get your links in the google.
The power of DP is amazing! Just a thought kinda new to SEO but does the hypen in the domain name slow the process and cause a manual inspection and maybe that has been the delay?
Yes it has been indexed for just over a week now Thanks again people for your help, it is appreciated.
One lesson i learned is that I should have submitted a sitemap on day one. I thought it was unnecessary as I only have a few pages and they are all linked together but google only indexed the other pages once I'd submitted the sitemap. Viewing the stats for the site, it doesn't appear that any one has found the site through search engines - the hits are probably from this forum. I am not looking to generate lots of hits, just attract a few more local clients but will have to work more on marketing and maybe buy adwords...
NOPE, it won't help to boost your search engine rankings in Google, no matter how much $ you spend. ShawnDrewry.com
