I hope this is the right place for this question. Sorry if it's not.
I started a site last September, and the Googlebots visit regularly, but it has never been indexed in Google. It has, however, been assigned a pagerank of 4, so this is really bizarre to me. Also, Google Webmasters tools reports that it's ranking around 187 for the term "apartment", but I can find it anywhere. I'm so confused!
The site is
http://bohemianrevolution.com, and I'm wondering if anyone can look at it and see something I'm missing that explains it not getting indexed.
I've started about a dozen similar sites - all WordPress blogs. Even with a very slow start on my part, they all get indexed by Google within days - except this one. The one thing that's really different about this domain from the others is that it was owned by someone else from 2001 to 2004 (I think), and then it lapsed, and then I bought it in 2005. Could that explain this problem?
I'm wondering whether I should just wait and assume Google will eventually index, or start with a new domain, point this one to it, and import the posts. But if it's not just the fact of the domain having existed before (and been indexed, when it was the old site), then whatever mistake I'm making could just follow me to the new domain.
I have no idea, really. I don't even do much in the way of
SEO - I just rely on the blog structure and blogrolls to do that for me, and then I follow the basic rules of creating a good site. I can't imagine what sort of "black hat" rule I could've broken. I'd appreciate any feedback.
