    Check your robots.txt file to make sure you've enabled indexing access. You may have to add the following:

    User-agent: ia_archiver
    Allow: /

    You might also want to send the site administrator an email if after 6 months, you still don't see it listed.

    Thanks for the reply. I have not blocked indexing access of any bots in robots.txt except for some directory that should be blocked. I will try to add the lines that you have recommended in robots.txt file soon.
