Once again, Google makes no sense

[corneo]

I really am having problems understanding this:

I took 3 different sites that I have started and 1 of them I am running through Google tools B.S. (you know, submit sitemap.xml and all of that good stuff)

The 2 other sites I did nothing. Just put them up and forgot them.

The 1 site that is going through Google still hasn't been index yet on Google. (waiting over 2 months) Yahoo has it in the top 4 on all keywords but google nothing. The site is getting average 700 views a day. (nothing great)

The other 2 sites that I did nothing with, just put them on line have both been indexed on Google.

What am I not understanding? From what I am seeing using Google tools is a mistake.

well, its ironic, but yes that can happen. One of my site took nearly 75 days to get indexed in google. but without indexing i kept recieving traffic because i promoted it regularly. Strange and confusing ya?

Oh well Google is really a mysterious SE. We've been trying to figure out their algo then once we've figured it out, they then change it or update it.

Eeekkk! Does SEO services still needed these days??
What if Google puts a red flag on an SEO'ed site??

Google is very hard to figure out, there algo is quite a mystery to all of us!

I would check your robots.txt, and check your server logs to see if Google is indeed viewing it.

I'm still not losing hope. Google always makes surprises. LOL.

[corneo]

Here's the numbers. Yahoo rocks! Google can kiss off! LOL

I pulled the site off of Google B.S. and will see what happens. For the site not being on google (directly) it's not doing bad and I do have a fan loyalty which does help.
The part that burns my butt is: a site I put up, don't push in anyway what so ever, nobody goes to, has better placement than a site I work on and update each day.

you should other way to get indexed... link building..

[fr3akeeee]

That's weird and I think that it's randomly being indexed? I heard that if you're lucky enough you'll be indexed within 1 hour?? Not trying to b.s anyone but that's what I heard.

[cldnails]

I have never, since day one, had an issue with getting a site indexed. All it takes is one decent inbound link and Google will find you, pfft on submitting sitemaps etc.

[Mousee]

It's a kind of lottery as I understand. And Google tools don't influence how lucky you are... Just kidding)

[corneo]

This is the first time I have had this problem. I guess I'll just swallow my pride and ride it out.

[my_misyel]

Yes it is really strange. My keywords ranked well in Yahoo. Am still hoping that Google will do the same =)

[corneo]

I wonder (and I could be wrong) since Google is doing these changes, are they holding some sites back until they are done with certain (area/alpha bit letter/whatever) changes.

Just a thought.

[C.Whyte]

That's google for you... right when you think you understand her, she throws a curve ball right in your direction. Your sites may be sandboxed... that's my only guess.

[corneo]

Where do I check to see if it's "sandbox?"

[xhennerx]

you thinks thats bad.. try signing up to google adsense.. it took 3 months for them to reply to me and it was meant to be one week

1) You need to try your best

2) Be patient

3) Observe

4) Adjust or change

After each algo changes, repeat step 1

[jian]

2) Be patient

I agree with you Natural Elements. just be patient.
Most of the time, Google makes me crazy.
