Howdy folks,
I started a website for my small company (https://www.epocean.com) over 4 months ago, and originally had it a customized WordPress install, but I've switched over to a more simple framework. It's incredibly simple, just one page, but it doesn't show up on Google. Not even using "site:www.epocean.com". I've submitted it to Google using Webmaster Tools, done the test crawl (it doesn't find any errors), and have Google Analytics running on it just fine.

I'm at a loss. Is there something that I'm missing? The site shows up under Bing :lol:, not that that's all that helpful. Google basically says "Wait for us to crawl you", which is fine and dandy, but this is going on 6 months and no listing.

I'm linked to/from my product line (https://www.oceanimagingsystems.com - Don't judge that site, it's undergoing a redesign at some point soon), and those links show up when you search my company's name.

Adbot
ADBOT LOVES YOU

I might be blind, but I see no links to epocean.com on the other site. If no one else is linking to your site, google doesn't know it exists. They have a bunch of things you can do to diagnose page errors for googlebot, as well ask them to (re)index a page at https://www.google.com/webmasters/

It's in the footer. Nothing huge, but it's there. I've asked them to re-index as well, close to 3 months ago. It's odd that it's on Bing and Yahoo.

Try adding a robots.txt?
No robots.txt means that the spider just crawls every link, which is just the only page there.

you tell the google search bot to manually index your website like 5 times a month from google webmaster tools

its this option



you press fetch and then it shows this button


worth a shot

edit: oh well if you already tried it then i dont know :pram:

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't piss off Google, Hell, I'm a shareholder. I guess it's just a waiting game.
