Google's Indexing Oddly

Discussion in 'Google' started by touchAshley, Jul 5, 2008.

    My blog is pretty new, and what I usually do to get indexed quickly is bookmark my site on popular sites like digg.

    The weird thing is, Google is indexing some pages on my site, almost any page except the actual homepage. They've even indexed the wordpress login page until I had to fix that in robots.txt

    Why won't they just index the farking homepage?!

    Thats funny! No idea why your home page isn't indexed, but I can offer you an advice for quick indexing. Put the link in your sig at DP, I've seen my sites getting indexed within 3 days after putting the link here

    It is, and has been in my signature. I don't know what the problem is. I've built links all pointing back to the homepage.

    have you change the content of your homepage very consistently, is it under construction, or violate any policy. does it have too many like 500 links on main page? is it not relevant to rest of your website..


    i don't know exactly but there are hundreds of factor that are effecting you .. you must check your main page carefully again

    If yes then u need to give high priority to the homepage...
