I have done a few sites now and i can get them all listed on Yahoo but none of them will come up on google. I have links to my site which i know are crawled by google so i dont know what the problem is. My latest site is irishpokeronline.com , does anyone notice something i have done which would be preventing it from being listed on google?

Thanks for your help

I had the same problem with one of my websites. You just have to wait, google does a web crawl of the new sites that have been subbmited one a month. And it doesn't always index your site first time, I had to wait 2 months for a site to show up!

Google has an "aging delay" in place where sites simply won't rank for anything for around 7 to 12 months.

Funny how this stuff works. The day I finished my new site, I submitted to DMOZ. I have yet to be picked up by DMOZ, but three days later Google had me listed (I didn't even submit to Google). They list every page of my site, plus some of the photos in the albums?. I ran a link ckeck, and it turned up 41 links on Google. But I still rank 0 on the PR scale.

One thing I read about the PR thing was, if you make a lot of changes, and upgrades. This will put you off of the list, until you settle down for a while. I also read that Google has no set time, and the delay thing is no longer in effect. It is supposed to be sort of a perpetual, on going thing now. The upgrade thing may be true, I have been making constant changes for the past month, But am probably settled down now for a while.

DMOZ and Google are unrelated. Yes Google gets their directory info from DMOZ which gets fed into the search engine too but Google finds it's own sites regardless of DMOZ. I've had several sites that end up in Google without ever submitting them anywhere. All you need is one link from any site that Google indexes and eventually the Matrix will get you.

Also, I've never heard anything about a site being penalized for frequent changes. I'm not even sure how Google would know about that anyway. Heck, I've got a site that I haven't updated in years, I should rank pretty high Wink

Your site (assuming your sig site) is a subdomain of 50megs.com, and subdomains of established sites are not affected by the aging delay

I couldn't tell you where I read this, but I did. Although I think it was dealing more, or less with new sites. Seems that before a site is well indexed, making lots of changes causes the bot to think, under construction. Not Good!!. Confused

No just the usual mixing up of cause and effect. Changes can always make pages "bounce" in and out of the results recently indexed or well established.

Post links to your site on sites that are already indexed by google, and you will be very fast good rated on google too.
Also it is good to change your contennt(adding pages, change text) often(onne in month-two) to be rated better.
