Q and A: Why isn't Google indexing my site?
Dear Kalena...
My site has not been indexed in Google for the last one month. I submitted articles, blogs to different sites and submitted links to 100 directories. Could you please tell me what are the strategies I should adopt to get listed in Google? My site got indexed in Yahoo and MSN.

Dear J
It would have helped if you'd included your site URL in your question! Without that, I can only guess at the problem. Here are my best guesses:
1) If your site has only recently been launched, you are probably experiencing Google's aging delay for new sites, which can last up to 9 months.
2) You say you've submitted "links to 100 directories". If this has been done as part of some dodgy link scheme, then Google may have penalized you for it. Brush up on why here.
3) If only a few pages on your site have been indexed, your site's navigation may be preventing or discouraging Googlebot from finding all your content. Create a search engine friendly navigation structure and prepare and upload an XML sitemap to Google Sitemaps.

Google is very slow to index new web sites.I have been building sites for almost 10 years.I would not worry about Google there is life out side of it.I get alot more traffice from MSN and Yahoo that converts much better.
