I am indexed on every search engine I try, except Google: MSN (where I’m now the number one hit for the terms: Andrew Parker), Yahoo, Ask, Technorati, IceRocket, Kosmix, Clusty, etc…
A number of bloggers have linked to me, some even added me to their blogrolls. This blog is linked from a number of indexed static sites. I’ve been on the front page of Digg twice. My Feedburner Feed is indexed. I have submitted a totally valid XML Sitemap. Google Webmaster services clearly states that they can access my site just fine and have a very recent copy of my site in their cache. Google has been aware of my blog at this new domain for about 9 weeks. Yet, still… STILL, blog.andrewparker.net is not in the Google index.
What more can I do? Anyone have some advice?
They segregate blogs in a special search:
http://blogsearch.google.com/
Giving bogs a separate search allows them to get away with not showing blogs in the web search (presumably because they believe blogs taint the algorithm.)
Seems silly to fracture the index like that. They must be planning on rejoining them at some point.
Andrew, create a Google Sitemap for your blog –
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/
Works like a charm and tells Google about every one of your pages.

CD: Tried it prior to this post. Didn’t work. I’m at a dead end. Not sure what else to try.
