Website not being indexed by Google - does seomoz have a index checker?
-
i have been to a couple of index checking websites that are saying my website is not being indexed, my developer and seo team have been making a lot of changes recently and I think it is because of that. Also my first byte grade is D.
Can I check here on seomoz if my site is being indexed by Google here in the UK?

Go to Google.co.uk and do a site:yoursiteurl.com to see if you are indexed in Google UK. You can also check the cache using cache:yoursiteurl.com
If I were you, that's what I do. You can use the Crawl Test Tool - http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test but that is more of a crawlability check, not whether you are indexed or not.

First off, have you tried searching for your domain name in all the relevant search engines?
If you're not showing that way, have you tried copying a line of text from one of your pages and searching for that phrase to see if your page appears?
Do all of your pages that should be indexed have the correct meta robots? Its possible maybe they were set to NoIndex.
Have you checked to make sure you didn't accidentally disallow the pages in the robots.txt file?
If you do a site operator search in Google are you seeing a relatively correct number of pages returned?
Have you uploaded a sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools yet? If so, is it old and does it need updating?

If you're talking about your narpsuk, it's being indexed on Google UK.

Thanks everyone, I sent an email to my developer and seo team yesterday and it seems it is being indexed again now, I was checking via Google.co.uk. I'm still feeling that something is not right because my enquiries have stopped completely and sales are right down but i guess with the drastic seo changes going on this was bound to happen.
Also my analytic queries have gone down from 1000 to 400 so it is probably that this is affecting it too.
SEO is the most frustrating thing I have had to deal with, there are just so many different elements involved in getting it right
