Default Stupid Newbie... - 07-14-2003 , 05:58 AM






This is a newbie question on search engines so perhaps it shouldn't be
posted here - but I've run out of ideas.
My personal hobby website is hosted by Easily.co.uk here in the UK. The
'official' address is basic1.easily.co.uk/05800c/03d03b which is a really
snappy title :-)
So I've bought http://www.afvs.co.uk which is easier to spell if nothing
else.

After numerous checks and (presumably) after Google has sniffed around for
about three months the afvs address is still coming up blank if I do a
Google search. Trouble is if I search Google using the string
'url:www.basic1.easily.co.uk/05800C/03D03B/ ' nothing comes up either.
So what am I doing wrong and how should I be telling Google that I'm
afvs.co.uk..?
TIA

Have you got it listed on DMOZ? Have you submitted your site to Google?

Yeah, I submitted to Google, but using the afv.co.uk address - not the same
thing at all I now realise...

Try this:

http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache...o.uk/+allinurl
:www.afvs.co.uk&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

This is the cached copy of afvs.co.uk. It's blank because the url is basically
just a redirect, and the redirect uses frames. Now try this:

http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache...ily.co.uk/0580
0C/03D03B/+allinurl:basic1.easily.co.uk/05800C/03D03B/&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

The site is, in fact, in Google. However neither of your urls are showing any
inbound links that Google believes are important enough to list. The best thing
you can do is get more people to link to your site.
