Can anyone here tell if my site has been crawled

Expand Post »
I am new to all this, as well as my site, and I would like to know if anyone can help me find out if my new website has been crawled.

I have not paid for any advertisement but submitted it to the free Google, Yahoo, and Open Diretory tools I found on the internet. Any help or advice would be welcomed

Type site:www.domain.com into Google and if any pages come up, then you're site is indexed.

Re: Can anyone here tell if my site has been crawled

I have tried this and nothing comes up in Google, or Yahoo for that matter. I only sent the URL in on the free submission forms from both Google and Yahoo, as well as the Open Directory Project. That is why I was asking if anyone could tell if my site had been crawled or could tell me a more specific way to find this out.

Also, sorry for posting my URL here. My ingorance for not reading through the FAQ's.

Re: Can anyone here tell if my site has been crawled

If nothing comes up after doing a site: query then you most likely are not in Google's index. To find out the details, including WHY you might not be included, sign up with Google webmaster tools at www.google.com/webmasters/.

Use this command cache:yoursite.com

If it displays that the site or page doesn't exists it means it is not yet index, so use site:mydomain.com..
Hope this helps....

Re: Can anyone here tell if my site has been crawled

No, that doesn't tell you if your site has been crawled. All those tell you if your site has been indexed.

Here's a tool that will tell you if your site has been crawled:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitestatus

If it works, you'll see something like this:
"Googlebot last successfully accessed your home page on Nov 20, 2007"

That means your site has been crawled.

As far as being indexed, it takes time, but Google knows about your site if you've been crawled, and you just need to get out of the "sandbox" which can take several months. Try to get inbound links to boost your site's popularity in the meantime.

Or check the statistics of your website, and see whether you got some visitor from google.

Re: Can anyone here tell if my site has been crawled

Why don't you use your website as your signature here... you could be easily indexed by Search engines...

Or

my suggestion - place your website link to a web page which is already indexed by Search engines and in regular indexing.

Re: Can anyone here tell if my site has been crawled

I thought I could not use my website on this board? They snipped it out in my first message.

What do you mean to use my website as my signature?

Re: Can anyone here tell if my site has been crawled

OK just got crawled by googlebot late last week. Two of my pages have been indexed. In fact, when I type in my site in
google just like a normal search, becoming a true champion, it comes
up on the first page about #5. However, it is not my main page, which
is what I originally submitted 1 week ago. Why is my main page not
coming up? Why would google index 2 of my pages and not all 5,
including the default main page? Few of the key words that are on the
mainpage are listed, especially the main ones that are in the title of
the main page and listed as key words. Why is this?

Currently I am trying to get inbound and outbound links to my site.
This is a task in itself. Anyone know of another way other then
getting in contact with the site owner?


I am going to try and put my links on the main page (default page),
will this help on getting that page indexed and coming up in google
first before the other pages?
