my site was crawled and indexed by google, however, how do I get them to recrawl the site since I made changes and they don't show up? Also, is there a way to check if the site has been blacklisted? Not that I did anything wrong, but I feel that google is ignoring my url.

Thanks.

got bored waiting for it to load

try again please if you don't mind

What's there to crawl ??

A few images, no text, a javascript menu which bots can't follow on the "home" page

luckily the bots can't get to the inner pages which are nothing more than a spammy bunch of over stuffed "keywords" in a hidden div.

Complete garbage, I'd suggest starting again, only properly this time.

put your website link in your signature, or any other site. when google crawls this site and wil automatically crawl your site

Your home page is indexed and as Chris pointed out all the links on the home page are coded with JavaScript. Search engines don't read JavaScript so as far as they're concerned there's nothing else to the site. You need to make ordinary html links for search spiders to follow.

Also I noticed your domain redirects to an IP address with your site as a subfolder of that IP. You really want to display you domain as www.yourdomain.com or .net or .org or whatever extension you use. No one will remember the IP. It's not particularly human friendly.

definitely, doesn't crawl jscripts. If you want to get crawled naturally, build up your site, provide good content for the benefit of the visitors, and promote it.

Chris I hadn't realized the 8088 meant hosting the site off your ISP. Thanks for pointing out that other thread.

What it usually means is that the ISP has port 80 blocked at their network gateway because they don't want cheapskates running public webservers on home DSL connections and using up shared bandwidth.

So putting it on a different port means they get around this. Well that is, until the ISP checks traffic stats against user logins and they get their account closed.

Yea the java is killing you man. To keep you from having issues, I'd recommend godaddy's free hosting with your domain. If not even the cheap hosting package which in my opinion is quite affordable.

Got some really good advises here, thanks a lot!

If you want to check how/when your website is crawled by Google you should really be using the Google Webmasters Tools

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

It also shows you your real backlinks and crawl stats such as error pages, etc. Two tools any webmaster *must* use are Google's Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics. I couldn't live without either.

hope this helps.

I finally got www.bestnjmenus.com crawled by google. Now I have another question, how do I check to see what google sees on my site when they crawl? I don't use html, but don't think that should be a problem since they crawl lots of sites that don't use html but use java script instead.

Turn off javascript and CSS on your browser.

Gringo's advice is the simplest. Or you could do a search that turns you up and click cached under the result.
