      Hi,

      We launched tmart 60 days ago and submitted to google, bing, yahoo 20 days later. But google had never indexed our website still when yahoo indexed it in one week.

      What we have checked or tried:

      1.  We got 20~50 inlinks in one month and now 81 inlinks via yahoo site explorer.

      2.  This domain has registered for 13 years and we purchased it from sedo last year. We
      did not find any problems from domain archive pages.

      3.  Page similar: the homepage is 50% similar to one of our competitors when we just launched.
      So we adjusted the page structure and modified the content one month later and decreased the similarity to 30% (by tools from webconfs.com)

      4.  Google Robots: googlebot crawled our website every day after we submitted for indexing.
      We opened GWT account for it and added the xml sitemap last week. GWT said nothing
      was wrong except the time of page loading.

      Our questions:

      1. Why google did not indexed our website?
      2. What should we do?

      Thanks,

      wu

        If you are using Google webmaster tools, it maybe a good thing to check the option "fetch as Googlebot". Its under the labs menu on the left navigation sidebar. That should give you a better insight of what Google is seeing. I think that you should have the capibility to insert some text (if possible) on the homepage in plain HTML so that Google doesnt only come across javascripts but also comes across meaningful content. I dont see much of a problem with your website as of now, but fetch as Googlebot would definitely help.

              Did you add both www.tmart.com and tmart.com to webmaster tools?

              If you just added tmart.com, add the WWW variant too which may sort you out.

                    Try asking for reconsideration, as you bought the domain it may be flagged? worth a try

                      I see you have about 80 pages indexed now. Did you do anything to the site in the past month, or did Google just decide on its own to start indexing your site?
