Hello,


Our website has NOT been indexed by Google since December of 2006. We have re-submitted our SITEMAP, added <META name="robots" CONTENT="index, follow"> to our HTML, and also tried putting a ROBOTS.TXT file in the root directory of our website. Thank you in advance.

 
Well none of those are likely to get the attention of Google.

Have you tried the one thing that would ??


Get some decent links.

However, why do you think Google should bother with yet another site selling the same stuff as thousands of other sites?

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
 
ChrisHirst, thanks for your feedback. If "thousands of other sites" sell similar products, then that must mean there is a demand for these type of products or knowone would be selling them.


Thanks,

probably so (or plenty of people who thinks it's an easy way to riches)

But putting that aside The search engines prefer to show just the most relevant pages for a query.

When your pages are the same as hundreds of others you ain't going to be found.

I agree on uniqness. Problem could be you are indexed at about the one millionth level. One of my current theories is the first 20 words are your hook. This actually comes out of writting classes where I've hear lots of editors say if you don't get me in the first paragraph I'm not buying the book. Course now there is the page 119 theory.

Can you use location in your pitch?
