I''ve added http://guildcorner.org/ to Google about a week ago, and uploaded a site map (in fact, the site map is dynamic and lists every character and guild currently registered.) I''ve seen googlebot hitting the site. It hit every page in my site map so far. However, according to the webmaster''s tools Google provides, no pages are indexed. Searching for words that should certainly make my site appear show this is probably the case. Searching for site:guildcorner.org returns nothing at all. Is this perhaps because of caching? I know you cannot really respect certain http headers (like if-modified-since and expires) easily in a dynamic site, but I would have thought google would still index what it could see? --Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

No stats at all.

It took mine several weeks to start showing up. Even more than that, there is some talk of a sandbox that keeps your site from showing up in top search results for a few months at least. It is a protection against spam sites. Just be patient and your site will eventually show up. :) - Mike Sager http://thegrateful.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
