Dear Geisi,
First of all, submitting the site does not ensure that the site would
be indexed - that depends onother paramenters, such as who chose to
link your site to theirs.
If your site was indexed and now it doesn't appear, it could be that
the Google-Robot could not access your site at the last time the index
was updated. The Google index is updated about every month. "we find
new sites, we lose some sites, and site rankings change. If your site
was dropped from Google and you have not made major changes to it in
the last month, we will likely pick it up again in our next index.
It's possible your site was simply inaccessible when our robots tried
to crawl it." (Source: Google Information for Web Masters "B. My web
pages used to be listed and now they aren't."
<://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html#usedtobe>).
Google also offers the following reasons:
"If your page does not appear at all, there here are some other
possible explanations.
Your site may not have been reachable when we tried to crawl it
because of network or hosting problems. When this happens, we retry
multiple times, but if the site cannot be crawled, it will not be
listed in our current index. If it was a transient problem, your site
will likely show up in the next index, which will be completed in a
few weeks.
A technical glitch on our side may have caused us to 'miss' your site.
In crawling more than 2 billion pages every few weeks, our system
experiences hiccups from time to time. Again, this is a transient
problem, and your site will likely show up in the next index. Please
be patient with us during this period, as we are not able to modify
our index by hand to add sites missed in this way.
The contents of your page or the links pointing to your page changed
significantly and you no longer have a sufficiently high PageRank, or
your page had low PageRank to begin with and a small change caused you
to be dropped from the Google index.
Your page was manually removed from our index, because it did not
conform with the quality standards necessary to assign accurate
PageRank. We will not comment on the individual reasons a page was
removed and we do not offer an exhaustive list of practices that can
cause removal. However, certain actions such as cloaking, writing text
that can be seen by search engines but not by users, or setting up
pages/links with the sole purpose of fooling search engines may result
in permanent removal from our index. If you think your site may fall
into this category, you might try 'cleaning up' the page and sending a
re-inclusion request to help@google.com. We do not make any guarantees
about if or when we will re-include your site."

deals with similar problems.
My search strategy was to search in Google's "Help" section.
I hope this helps. Please contact me if you need any clarifications.
I'd be pleased to clarify my answer before you rate it. |
