    Hello. About 2 weeks ago i were trying do things with joomla, better say, i was "playing" with Joomla. I wasn't satisfied so, i deleted out. 3 days ago i installed BANS script. I made a quick design for BANS, and then I did all steps to put the store "live". I made a sitemap, submitted to Google Webmaster Tools, I added robots.txt to my site, what else should i do? my site is wwwdotcarspartsforsaledotcom. Search that on google and you'll see: Index of /. cgi-bin/. Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.6 Server at ...


    Last time Google Bot index my site was on 23 AUG. I really don't know what sould I do to be indexed. Please help me!


    Thank you very much! :)

    Three days isn't very long. Give them a few more days and don't leave the site "down" for so long again.

    Upload a new sitemap, go through your google settings. Advertise your site on larger sites, like here (ask for a design review or something), bots are crawling these pages more often than users visit here lol

    It wont take too long for google to realize the changes.

    ooh I see a problem on your site. When I search for site:http://www.carspartsforsale.com/, http://www.carspartsforsale.com/administrator/ comes up with very similar content as your homepage. You should block this page via your robots.txt file. Perhaps you should also use a 301 redirect from this page to your actual homepage.

    Other than that, work at getting more links to your site. The more links you have from quality sites, the faster you should get indexed.

    Wait for the bot and get more backlink while he is checking entering link.

    Well that subdirectory is definitely still on your site. You should block access to that page and redirect users to your homepage using a 301 redirect. It may or may not be affecting Google's ability to index the rest of your website. You could just try getting more backlinks and the problem might go away on its own.
