    Hello,

    I wanted to shared this because of one simple error I made in caused my content not to be indexed for two months! :(

    I had my home meta tags like this:

    <meta name="revisit-after" content="1 day" />
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
    
    HTML:
    And my inner pages meta tags like this:

    <meta name="revisit-after" content="1 day" />
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />
    HTML:
    So I was telling the bot not to index my pages! Auch!

    At first I though it wasn't beeing indexed because I had made big changes in the content structure and that it took time.

    But I posted my problem to a forum and someone suggested me to review ALL the meta tags.

    What I've done is delete the two robots meta tags from all my pages.

    I'm waiting to get my site indexed now..

    Beware of restrictive mata tags!

    Maybe this could help some of you
