My homepage is not getting indexed by google for some reason
-
My homepage http://www.truebluelifeinsurance.com is not indexed by google. The rest of my site is indexed.
The hompage is indexed by bing. I looked in the webmaster tools and there is no indication why.
I believe the issue started when I did a site re-design in August.
Any ideas?

Hi,
May i know How did you solve you website indexing problem?
I am facing the same problem with my website.
Thank you.
-
I can see it indexed. Looks like the problem is resolved.
-
Any update on this? Are you seeing your site indexed by Google yet? What is GWT saying?
-
If it does not resolve itself and by the sounds of it, it should have by now.There is always the option of contacting John Mueller at Google. There will be a Hangout Q&A this Friday where you can ask that exact question. You can post your question to him right now at http://www.google.com/moderator/?#15/e=203709&t=203709.7c&f=203709.6c6f70 and he will get to it live.
Sometimes when there are weird issues, John is a great resource as he has all the inside tech to check a problem.
He has helped me many times before.
-
There shouldn't be any problems with the robots.txt file as far as blocking the homepage in Google, especially since the homepage is indexed in Bing and both crawlers abide by the robots.txt.

Could it be this content in my robot.txt file?

I did not change domains with the re-design. The sitemap is a mistake and from another site I own.
-
Interesting. That is a mistake. I have deleted the sitemaps on the site.
-
I have done this already today in the webmaster tools. I should have definitely been indexed by now as it has not been indexed for months.
-
Did you change domains when you did a site redesign? I noticed your sitemap has URLs from a completely different domain name so that may have something to do with it - http://www.truebluelifeinsurance.com/sitemap.xml. I'd make sure to change the sitemap and then set your preferred domain name in Google Webmaster Tools.
-
Have you given it enough time to get crawled? You can also submit it to Google webmaster tools to get crawled.

Little odd I must admit but I'm sure someone around here will get to the bottom of it

Why am I not getting my allowance of 10,000 inbound links in csv download file? 370 out of 4700??
Hi, I'm desparately trying to audit my backlinks to remove a penguin penalty on my site livefit.co.uk When I do the inbound link report i'm not getting all the links in the download. I know there is a limit of 25 links from each linking site so we get the full picture of links bu: I have 4700 links so why does it need to limit it when we are supposed to see up to 10,000? When you check the link profile on the report it doesn't seem there are many sites with anything close to 25, so surely that rule is invalid as an explanation here? Should I just work off OSE? But there is less useful info than on the csv.. I'd be very grateful for your thoughts. Thanks! James

Open Site Explorer results vs. Google Webmaster Tools results
I've been comparing the links to my domain that OSE and GWT show and GWT shows many more links than OSE. Can anyone explain the difference? Does Google report no follow links that OSE does not?

Www. part of url not showing on google search results.
When typing in fun translator into google UK, my website www.funtranslator.com is the 18th result on the 2nd page, however, there is an issue, it only shows funtranslator.com, without the www part, which is not what I want because the whole address to show up, because my campaign on seomoz pro and webmaster tools account is www.funtranslator.com not funtranslator.com. How can I resolve this. For not, I have a redirect that goes from funtranslator to www.funtranslator.com I want to know how to get the full www.url into the results instead of just url.com without the www part of the url. Also, will this affect my stats gathered in my campaign on my seomoz pro account?

Domain Authority: Sites with lower numbers get higher ranking.
We had a question about your online tools for http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns/30642 The Domain Authority for http://pucherinsurance.com/ is 67: Higher than most of our competitors such as <cite><cite>bluecross.ca which has a rank of 54. </cite> </cite> We show up lower in the actual search results. An example phrase would be Visitors to Canada health Insurance. We get an A grade for onsite reports and we are working on the duplicate content and titles. We appear to be doing everything right but still rank lower than expected. Any thoughts?
