Ensure my site is listed properly

  • – Make sure that it is public (search engines are allowed to crawl) – dashboard
    – Make sure that your robots.txt file does not block search engines
    – Make sure that your SEO and metatag plugins are configured correctly (do not set to noindex)
    – Visit your Google Webmaster Tools account and look for indexing status, crawl errors, and other notices.

    I get a 500 error: https://www.positive-changes-hypnosis.com/

    Thanks Krishna, it seems that I do not have a site map submitted at the moment. Would this make a big difference?

    Thanks Rajesh, I have just been messing around with the back end which has caused this issue. I’m just rectifying it

    Would this make a big difference?

    Yes, and no. If Google wants they will reach your site uninvited and index your site. Sometimes, even after submitting sitemaps, they may either take their own time or partially index your site. My suggestion is that you must submit a site map. Any problems?

    Okay, Thanks for the advice I will submit one

    FYI

    You should be fine by just sitting and doing nothing. ??

    Your site is indexed by Google, Yahoo, and Bing already.

    Thanks bottleneck. I take it that it just takes time to get properly noticed by the engines? Even after it is indexed it isn’t an instant thing?

    I am currently getting 0 traffic

    You mix different thing, being indexed by search engines and getting visitors.

    You have to ask yourself, what makes your site special? In other words, you need to outsmart your competitors.

    There a magic of search engine optimization kicks in.

    Just google ‘SEO’.

    Good luck.
