MY wife has written a listings website for kids activities in the city of Liverpool

http://www.liverpool4kids.co.uk/index.htm

It was submitted to the Yahoo, MSN, Google over a month ago. Although it shows up for searches in Yahoo it is totally unlisted in Google and MSN. As it is new there are virtually no inward links - there are a couple from other sites i manage.

Is there something fundamentally wrong about the site that has been submitted that has caused this inaction. I have no idea if it has been crawled byt Google - I havent been watching stats.

Any help greatfully received

Work on getting backlinks, Google will list it eventually.

find a way for SE's to find your site by getting IBL, also using sig on this forums will help your site to get indexed.

Jaquar is right find, if you have money consider of buying links.

Everyone here is telling you the secret, you need the backlinks. It has become worthless to submit to the search engines. I just started a site a few days ago and it is already picked up in all the search engines because I have quite a few backlinks!

Yes, there's something fundamentally wrong with your site, maybe two somethings. First, it has no IBLs. Second, it was actually submitted to the search engines.Fix #1, and #2 becomes unnecessary.Links coming in from other domains are a measure of importance and popularity. The site you submitted isn't important enough - by Google's standards - to merit inclusion. Probably not even enough to crawl, because honestly, most sites that are crawled are indexed, unless there's something deceptive about them.I bet within a week Google has you indexed, just from the link in this forum.

i think submitting your sites to the big search engines is an old way to be indexed by them and it's not agood idea for being index . making link exchange or building backlink is better and faster way to be indexed by them

Hi

I search your site on search engines and I found still your site is not indexed and no more link back to your site. Try to link trade with other webmasters. Add your site url as signature on this forum or any other forum. Join link trading sites like link2me dot com, linkalizer dot com and so on. This will help you to get site noticed my search engines for initial stage. Find out Search engine optimizer to optimize your site for search engines. All the best..!!

Avoid link trading sites like the plague.

**seowebdesigner** · 03-10-2007, 03:55 PM

Try link exchange with other webmasters.

Bad advice -- 99% of the Webmasters won't bother answering.

**seowebdesigner** · 03-11-2007, 03:25 AM

Please let me know what should to do?? So that I can update my skills n knowledge??

**andymac63** · 03-11-2007, 11:22 AM

Thanks for the advice so far and we are working to put in back links but isn't this mostly about where you're ranked? Google just doesn't see the site at all, it denies its existence!

**chrishirst** · 03-11-2007, 04:47 PM

mistake No 1. Linking to the index file page name. Remove it, link to the root folder or folder name only.

Have patience, it could take 6 months or more

work on some links, and not the usual crap that everybody thinks are useful 'cos you need thousands of those to make a difference.

**BrandonBCF** · 03-12-2007, 01:49 PM

Just get some backlinks. Even directories would be a good place to start.

**andymac63** · 03-12-2007, 04:57 PM

Again, I understand that it might take 6 months to get anywhere in the rankings but whenever we have written websites before, Google has recognised the site within a few days (by this I mean that if you type in the full url it will find it) but this time, it is not recognising even the full url.

Sure it is, here's the cached version.

**andymac63** · 03-12-2007, 06:05 PM

Thank you. I'm happy now.

**Learning Newbie** · 03-12-2007, 06:26 PM

Don't you wish it could always be that easy?

I don't remember what I did to find yours, because I forgot my wallet this morning and so haven't had any caffeine. But it was something dumb and easy.

**andymac63** · 03-13-2007, 12:50 PM

It's now managed to find 4 pages but there's still a problem. If I click on "cached" to see how google sees it, I get this error message:

Your search - cache:XNY0E9ZcPgwJ:www.liverpool4kids.co.uk/pages/cooking4.htm http://www.liverpool4kids.co.uk - did not match any documents

Anyone any ideas?
