On Google after all - oh no we're not!

Tuesday, February 12 2008

It turns out we are were listed on Google after all. I was reading into the Google Sandbox effect today and did a search at sandbox.google.com and discovered the site showed up. I then searched on normal Google and it didn’t. This seemed to prove the Sandbox theory. Somehow I decided to also search Google.com and it turns out that we’re listed in the .com site, but not the .co.uk site. Not to worry. that’ll come.

The site is also showing 38 urls in the sitemap tool, but none indexed.

Just checked again and this time the site isn’t showing up anywhere in Google – WTF!!!

That’s a hell of a change from lunchtime at work, until now at home.

Could it be that work (20 miles away) hits a different data centre than at home? I don’t know, but I’ll double check in the morning at home and at work. I don’t think this’ll be the case with currently 19 Google datacentres worldwide (as far as I can tell) it’ll be unlikely that they have 2 in the UK
