      Would have to take a closer look. Would you be willing to identify the domain here, or PM it to someone?

          How old is your site?

            A few questions you should consider:

            1. The old domain 301 redirects to the correct URL on the new domain, correct?

            2. Is there a robots.txt present on the new domain? If so - has it been carefully checked?

            3. Have you got Google Webmaster Tools setup for the domain? Have you checked all the settings carefully? What does it say about your Robots.txt and Sitemap? It should tell you about any crawl errors.

            4. Is the old domain still indexed?

            5. Are there any meta tags for index or follow settings?

            These are places to start looking. GWT should be able to give you some clues. Let us know how you get on. 🙂

                    Hi Tom,

                    1. The old domain 301 redirects to the correct URL on the new domain, correct? YES

                    2. Is there a robots.txt present on the new domain? If so - has it been carefully checked?

                    Here is the current robots text on the site:

                    | <meta <span>name</meta <span>="robots' content="index" /> |
                    |   | name="robots" content="follow" /> |
                    |   | name="revisit" content="2 days" /> |

                    1. Have you got Google Webmaster Tools setup for the domain? Have you checked all the settings carefully? What does it say about your Robots.txt and Sitemap? It should tell you about any crawl errors. (See Webmaster Screengrab attached)

                    Also attached screengrab from Webmaster tools of submitted sitemap.

                    1. Is the old domain still indexed? NO

                    2. Are there any meta tags for index or follow settings?

                    | <meta <span>name</meta <span>="robots"content="follow" /> |
                    |   | <meta <span>name</meta <span>="revisit"content="2 days" /> |

                    I have PM'd you the domains for you to take a closer look at if possible.

                    Thanks

                      Ok Andrew,

                      just Checked your site headers, robots, meta tags and every is Ok!

                      Try these and wait for few days:

                      • Submit your site to Pingoat.com
                      • try to tweet your website threw your account
                      • under Diagnostics in Google WT there is fetch as Google Bot, run it threw the website and check the page if google crawled.

                      I believe in the next few days, ur site will be crawled and indexed

                          Have you been indexed yet? Wondering the status on this, and if you need any more assistance.

                            Hi Keri,

                            We submitted a reconsideration request through Webmaster tools and got index within a week!

                            I am non the wiser why the site wasn't being indexed.

                            Thanks

                            James
