Cannot get indexed on Google!
Hey guys.
I am in serious need of support here. After over 4 months of trying to get indexed, google simply will not index my site. I have re-built in incase of errors, contacted my hosting company and they say all is well, requested reconsideration at Google (accepted), uploaded new sitemaps, re-verified my domain at Google, rewritten my robots.txt file, and still cannot get indexed. My google account says pages are included in the search results (but they're not!)
I have a blog hosted on a subdomain of my server and that is indexed very well, and what's more, Bing and Yahoo are indexing me pretty wel too. It seems google simply cannot detect my website, yet it is giving me stats as though I'm indexed.
This has been discussed before with no result.

I will not give up on this but I am rapidly running out of solutions. This has never been an issue with me before. I cannot understand why my site is not indexed. It complies with all guidlines (also confimed by a Google staff member) and is fully functional. The site looks awsome in "no-css mode" so the spiders can read it fine, and the robots.txt file is perfect. sitemaps are valid and server functioning very well.
Website is http://www.coldcast.co.uk/
This is not something I am doing wrong. I wasn't so sure a month ago, but now I'm certain. I feel this is an error on Google's side, but having no visible way of contacting them, I have no idea who else to turn to except you guys here at TWF. Can anyone give me a clue?
Thanks in advance.

I assume you've been building links to your site rather than just submitting it to Google? That the pages have unique content - ie if you've copied content from another website yours could get put into the supplemental index?
That said I can remember reading on another forum someone had bought an existing domain and had the same problem. The consensus was to check if the previous domain owners had been up to any black hat stuff - eg had Google previously banned the domain.
If all else fails, maybe you need to create a new domain, copy your code and design onto it and maybe change the words???? Sounds horrendous.

Yeah, it is. I bought the domain brand new and it has no past-record apart from what I have done with it (no black-hat stuff I assure you, lol) I do have a lot of backlinks on a lot of forums, blogs, sites etc, and a fair few people visiting from these too. My site is 100% unique (unless you get technical and say it is one of a million sites using Drupal) and has no adverts/spamcode or anything of the sort. It is a fully functional domain and server and works perfectly. I don't understand why I'm having this issue. Honestly, I've done more than enough research into Google guidlines to fix this over the past couple of months and had no satisfying result. Google contacted me saying all was well and I've had nothing since.

Hah! Thanks
By the way guys, I fixed this issue. You wouldn't believe how stupid I feel right now... All along I was using "www.coldcast.co.uk" as my Google Domain Config, and it should've been "coldcast.co.uk" so I could control the domain itself. Barely 10 minutes after I made this change and I was fully indexed with a PR of 3

Thanks guys
Also thanks again for all your help. ColdCast is going pretty well now. Getting a nice steady flow of visitors and already got a few FMVs on Youtube (fan made videos) so glad to see some people like what I'm trying to do. Naturally I'll never be as big as Bebo or Facebook, but I am trying to provide a calmer alternative on which you can post content every now and then. Nothing as big as Facebook or Myspace.

You could try Tweeting out your homepage. It will get indexed within a few minutes. Its not a site wide fix obviously but might jump start the process.

If you want to indexed on Google the best way is to bookmark your website on bookmarking directors take top 10 bookmarking directories and submit your site in it...and submit your site to all search engine...and use twitter and facebook for viral marketing...your website will get indexed....'

Hey, thanks for the info, but I figured this out a loooong time ago... I was doing everything right, but because I deleted my Google account 6 month before launching my new updated website, the account still cached the disallow in my old robots.txt, I had to create a new account and re-upload a new one.
Got indexed within the night

I think you should do link building to your site and to do that there are various processes available like forum posting , bookmarking, article submission , blog commenting and many more. By this there will be increment in the traffic ratio which in turn will help in indexing your site.

It really depends on the domain name and the quality and relevant contents of your backlinks and that way you'll get indexed by google a lot quicker and don't submit you URL to google manually, because this takes a lot longer and may not index your site. In the meantime keep on posting on relevant forums, blogs, social media and provide your backlinks if they allow?
From evidence of my recent research you can find my site with the keyword term "sydney portrait" on google.com and comes up top 10 rankings.
