Why am not getting listed?

    Can anyone see a reason that my site would not be listed on any search engines? I've submitted more than 20 search engines. I know it takes 6-8 weeks to get listed but thats about how long it's been and I'm seeing a listing anywhere.

    What concerns me is that I was listed by Alta Vista and now I'm not there anymore.

    Submitting your site is really a waste of time. Build a quality site and obtain links to the site - and the SE will index it. Indexing is not the same as ranking, so you will need quality backlinks and patience before you will start seeing any real traffic.

    I agree, submitting is a waste of time, get some links in to your site and the search engines will follow. And above all be patient, it can take time.

    An easy way to get a couple of links is to submit your site to some quality directories.

    The best way to do it is to have people link to your site. How old is the site?

    (btw, I read the title as "Why am I not getting laid")

    lol

    laid with traffic - eh? :)

    There are many theories on how to get listed, some say submit to as many engines as possible, others say don't do it at all, it can be difficult when asking for advice.

    Consider one point of view of submitting your sitemap to goooogle, directly hand submit to MSN and doing quality backlinks from relative directories and use advertising as appropriate.

    Hope this one way will help, I tend to use different ways for different niches but this way might help.

    Regards Roger

    i tink they have suggested the best things to do with your site already, like getting a lot of backlinks. Patience is a virtue. But sometimes, search engiens are unpredictable. :p

    I actually had the exact same problem. tried registering it with google and nothing happend. No benefit at all. I took the site down a few months ago, it was up for 1 year, never got google listed or anything close to that

    Weirder yet, I made a stupid webpage, registered a domain for it too..(literally a txt file making fun of my friend..hehe) and google picked that up within days.. i dont know how it works, but its weird..

    Did you submit your link to the msn search engine? They usually index your website within 24 hours.

    Did you buy your domain name as an expired domain? If so, it may have been "banned" previously.
