Google is not showing my blog... which is owned by Google!!!

[Abafte]

What's up with that? It's been months now. I'm on MSN, but not on Google. How is this possible? I have submitted my site - so there shouldn't be a problem.

[Abafte]

How come it shows up on the "search blog" but not on the main place of web-search?

Do you have any inbound links to it?

I just created one. But that itself is a new one. So will it work?

[Abafte]

How much time should I give the bot?

[Abafte]

Well, is that enough?

[Marcia]

How well and how fast the one link works to get the page into the index depends on the strength of the page linked from and how often it's crawled. Does the page linked from have any PR showing?

You will be needing more than just one, though.

That page itself is a new site I just opened (as I said earlier)... I mean I'm not asking for a top rank for the moment. Just that the page exists on the WWW! Why does it have to be so complicated? How come MSN picked it up without me doing squat?

[Abafte]

Also Yahoo. How come Yahoo picked it up but Google didn't? And that despite the fact that the site is on Google's blog! What on earth is going on?

Take a deep breath and be ready to wait awhile.... keep blogging and the more entries will start tgo get it recognised.... have some friends post comments and submit some articiles to an aggregator site... that will get you more niche specific links

[Abafte]

Take a deep breath and wait for years? LOL

[AussieWebmaster]

how do you know it is just not buried?
if you search for your domain name nothing comes up?

[AussieWebmaster]

The deep breath thing is just a saying... it does take time and a few steps to get in

Funny you ask that. When I simply do that I get someone who mentioned me on another place... but NOT my own site!! (and that's just when I type the url alone (without the "http/" stuff)

[AussieWebmaster]

hmmmm.... is your content duplicated anywhere else?
