Thank you for your note. We understand that your site hasn't shown up in
our search results even though you've submitted your URL to us. We'd like
to explain why this may have happened.
Google finds sites when our robots "crawl" the web, following hyperlinks
from page to page. Google currently visits billions of URLs during our
crawls, so this process can take a while. If many sites link to yours,
there's an excellent chance we'll find it. Conversely, if no sites link to
your pages, it may be difficult for our crawler to find them.
Although Google crawls billions of pages, it's inevitable that some sites
will be missed. When Google does miss a site, it's frequently for one of
the following reasons:
- The site is not well connected through multiple links to others on the
web.
- The site launched after Google's most recent crawl was completed.
- The design of the site makes it difficult for Google to effectively
crawl its content.
- The site was temporarily unavailable when we tried to crawl it.
We recommend that you read our Webmaster Guidelines at
http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html. This page outlines core
concepts for creating and maintaining a "Google-friendly" website. Please
note that Google does not accept payment for inclusion in our index, nor
do we manipulate search results by hand. We believe strongly in allowing
the democracy of the web to determine the inclusion and ranking of sites
in our search results. If you'd like more in-depth information on Google's
search technology, please check out

Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns.

The Google Team
