My homepage is not getting indexed by google for some reason
-
My homepage http://www.truebluelifeinsurance.com is not indexed by google. The rest of my site is indexed.
The hompage is indexed by bing. I looked in the webmaster tools and there is no indication why.
I believe the issue started when I did a site re-design in August.
Any ideas?
-
Hi,
May i know How did you solve you website indexing problem?
I am facing the same problem with my website.
Thank you.
-
I can see it indexed. Looks like the problem is resolved.
-
Any update on this? Are you seeing your site indexed by Google yet? What is GWT saying?
-
If it does not resolve itself and by the sounds of it, it should have by now.There is always the option of contacting John Mueller at Google. There will be a Hangout Q&A this Friday where you can ask that exact question. You can post your question to him right now at http://www.google.com/moderator/?#15/e=203709&t=203709.7c&f=203709.6c6f70 and he will get to it live.
Sometimes when there are weird issues, John is a great resource as he has all the inside tech to check a problem.
He has helped me many times before.
-
There shouldn't be any problems with the robots.txt file as far as blocking the homepage in Google, especially since the homepage is indexed in Bing and both crawlers abide by the robots.txt.
-
Could it be this content in my robot.txt file?

I did not change domains with the re-design. The sitemap is a mistake and from another site I own.
-
Interesting. That is a mistake. I have deleted the sitemaps on the site.
-
I have done this already today in the webmaster tools. I should have definitely been indexed by now as it has not been indexed for months.
-
Did you change domains when you did a site redesign? I noticed your sitemap has URLs from a completely different domain name so that may have something to do with it - http://www.truebluelifeinsurance.com/sitemap.xml. I'd make sure to change the sitemap and then set your preferred domain name in Google Webmaster Tools.
-
Have you given it enough time to get crawled? You can also submit it to Google webmaster tools to get crawled.

Little odd I must admit but I'm sure someone around here will get to the bottom of it

One of my sites got hit with the exact match domain algo change in google.
one of my sites got hit with the exact match domain algo change in google. I was wondering if it would be trouble or beneficial to add about 10 directory links in the the highest page rank directories in the seomoz directory list. It looks like i only have about 17 root domains linking to my site so far that are natural links and not directory links. i have no directory links as of yet. Will this help or does it spell trouble getting this many directory links in a few months? Thanks mozzers! Ron
