      Hi all and thanks for your help in advance.

      I've been asked to take a look at a site, http://www.yourdairygold.ie as it currently does not appear for its brand name, Your Dairygold on Google Ireland even though it's been live for a few months now. I've checked all the usual issues such as robots.txt (doesn't have one) and the robots meta tag (doesn't have them). The even stranger thing is that the site does rank on Yahoo! and Bing.

      Google Webmaster Tools shows that Googlebot is crawling around 150 pages a day but the total number of pages indexed is zero. It does appear if you carry out a site: search on Google however.

      The site is very poorly optimised in terms of title tags, unnecessary redirects etc which I'm working on now but I wondered if you guys had any further insights.

      Thanks again for your help.

        That is a weird one, even googling the url its not showing it.  Stinks of a penalty but you have no msg in GWTs and the backlinks look clean (even a backlink from RTE, which should be golden).  And it seems google is caching it ok

        http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ZXKkuLuk6UkJ:www.yourdairygold.ie/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ie

        The only thing I noticed is that www.butteritwithdairygold.ie is 301 redirecting to it, and I thought that maybe that domain is burnt, but again its backlink profile seems clean.
