Hi Roy,
The site is definitely blocked/excluded. It says so in my sitemaps
console
There were no errors in the crawl stats
I submitted a reinclusion request explaining we had done nothing new,
other than to sumit the site map.
I read somewhere the problem might be our phpbb forum, as it has many
thousands of pages and google may view it as spam, so I put a
robots.txt file there to exlude the forums, and advised them of this in
my reinclusion request, but to day
not reincluded, nor received a response.
IMHO google has gotten to big for their own good.
They ignore web content providers which are the life blood of the
internet apart from the surfers themselves, and frankly I am at a point
where if they cannot show the common decency to provide responses, I
will work with other engines and encourage anyone an everyone I come
into contact with to do the same. It seems in todays day and age that
is the only way to remind a company of where they came from.
Our results are great on Yahoo & MSN so we will turn our focus there
and have our own little google boycott. :)
