I have a joomla site: www.premiumislandvacations.com and have created a blog which doesn't appear to be getting indexed.]

http://www.premiumislandvacations.co.../st-barts-news

Is there something structurally wrong with the blog, or am I just being impatient?

Thanks

How long has the blog been live?

**Plexihost** · 05-20-2010, 01:47 PM

Google is showing 231 pages for your site, so it is definitely being indexed.

Have you been pinging your blog? If not, use this daily:

It seems more like you are trying to drop a link here, your site is already indexed.

**welljy** · 05-21-2010, 12:04 AM

your blog is already cached by Google on 8th May,2010. Its indexed or not i have checked through it

Code:

site:http://www.premiumislandvacations.com/st-barts-news-blog/st-barts-news

. it is showing in Google. I have checked your sitemap.xml. It is not showing your blog URL. please add your blog URL in sitemap.xml and again re-submit it in GWT.

Manually pinging is worthless IMO. Your blog should be pinging the search engines automatically when new content is added. I don't get why people do this. It's like submitting the same sitemap.xml over and over on a daily basis using Google's WMT.

Typically blogs such as Wordpress do automatically ping, but I have seen them fail to do so. So using a ping service couldn't hurt.

**full house** · 05-26-2010, 10:09 PM

Try a backlink through a popular relevant twitter page it will get indexed within hours

**bermuda** · 05-28-2010, 09:43 AM

The new sites or blog scripts installed on the servers need some time to get activated and become search engine friendly. For example, as you may have been reading the posts on the net, the blogs posts are usually indexed very soon, within minutes or hours, but a new blog might not get properly indexed for some days or a couple of weeks but just wait and probably there is nothing to worry about.

**weker** · 05-28-2010, 12:16 PM

I think that more time is needed for your blog to show in GOOGle blog search (different from standard search I think)

**bestseo** · 06-23-2010, 04:10 AM

Some new domain getting indexed a little lately. Maybe in about 2 weeks. But you can use of social bookmarking for indexing it faster.

**who** · 06-23-2010, 02:46 PM

Your blog is indexed and is in google index for long time now! But if you need to get it higher in ranking then you need to build some valuable links.
