Hello all, i recently purchased a .im domain, (myspacelayouts.im) but for some reason Google still does not even know it exists, I submitted the url to Google, Yahoo and still nothing. It's been about 2 months since i purchased it, slapped some content on there just while i develop it. I've Linked to it from other sites i have, and nothing. For example even if i type the domain name in, it still doesnt come up (Searched: www.myspacelayouts.im) obviously Google is dropping the ball here with the .im domains/sites, they are not as on top of things as they would have us believe,LOL. (pay attention shareholders) anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? thanks.
Spiders follow links and spider the destination file if it's spiderable. The TLD has no effect on whether a document is spiderable. If your site had a .com TLD it would make no difference. All you have to do to test your theory that Google "doesn't recognise .IM domains" is find a .IM domain that is indexed. You can do this yourself next time you have a theory
why does'nt my site come up ?? even when typing the url in the search box? does any one read the post before posting?
Because it's not been indexed. You wrongly assume that the reason your site is not indexed is because it's on a .IM domain. Get more links and be patient EDIT: Or maybe it's because it's an exact duplicate of http://www.myspacelayouts.us/ and has been filtered out of the SERPs because of this.
ok..im going to write some different stuff on there..i'll see if that works hooperman.. why is myspace.im not recognized by Google? i typed in the url www.myspace.im and i get other stuff?
Not sure what you mean by 'recognised'. It's in Google's index though: http://209.85.135.104/search?hl=en&q=cache:www.myspace.im&btnG=Google+Search
