artmarketblog.com, I guess.

If artmarketblog.com is the site you are talking about, there seems a good reason of not being indexed by Google. I checked your blog and found that the domain is not only forwarding to a blog hosted @ WordPress.com, it's also cloaking (masked or stealth redirection) all the URLs.

I'm afraid a reinclusion request isn't going to help in this condition. Maybe John can guide you properly about this particular problem.

Edit: 1 I also checked in Yahoo! Explorer. Your blog doesn't have any incoming links.

Edit: 2 I just checked in Google and found that artforprofits.wordpress.com is indexed.

Is ordinary forwarding accepted by google? (Non-masked)

Look like it has some links... https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.co...m&bwm=i&bwmf=u

Would it help if i add the domain to the blog instead of redirecting?

Sorry! My bad. As sniperhiga said, your domain does have incoming links according to Yahoo! Explorer. I'm not sure where was my mind when I was editing my post.

Anyways, host your blog on your own domain if you want it to be indexed in search engines with all the post links because removing 'cloaking' isn't enough if you want to get your whole site indexed.
