Hey guys - I am running a couple of wordpress sites
http://3dmenow.com.au/
http://wcsmelbourne.com.au/
And neither of them are appearing in Google Searches - the wcsmelbourne one has only been up for a few days but the 3dmenow one has been up for a couple of months now... Have Google SiteMap Generator installed on both but still nothing...
Any ideas on how I can get them onto a google search?
(Even a site specific search on google doesn't show any results?)
Thanks everybody!!

Your robots.txt file on the first site reads:
User-agent: *
Disallow:Sitemap: http://3dmenow.com.au/sitemap.xml.gz
The sitemap.xml.gz file appears to be missing. Though I don't know if that would prevent Google from indexing your site.

Ok that's been built and put in... though it should still be indexed by Google right?

btw Thanks very much :)
The cliché that Google works in mysterious ways is quite true.
It may have been relying on the referenced sitemap. Since it didn't exist, it may have decided that you didn't want to be indexed. Now that you have a sitemap properly setup, give Google a few days and try searching again.

haha fair enough :)
Well I might give it couple of days again then :) Thanks!
You're welcome!
