si-community.com not on google?

Post by rray » 12 Aug 2021, 19:03

Hey everone,

I can't find si-community.com anywhere on google!
even if I search for "softimage forum si-community" it's like it doesn't exist.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Why could this be?

Cheers

"softimage forum"
really -google does not find
but finds in
-https://www.bing.com
-https://duckduckgo.com

can write in those. support google and emphasize that the site http://www.si-community.com is not indexed

Hi Oliver,

it could be the fact, that the robots.txt is not accessible at all.

http://www.si-community.com/robots.txt

Result in a 500 server error.

It "could" be the reason, why Google simply does not index the page at all, even there are crosslinks found.

Please check why the robots.txt causes a 500 error and try to fix it.

Please consider the follow page: https://developers.google.com/search/do ... -txt?hl=de

Minumum required robot.txt should be:

--
User-agent: *
Allow: /
--

Hope that will help.

There's a challenge :)

It could it be worth trying to set the domain to use https only (instead of both https and http as it's now).

Could be worth a try, I remember reading google "rewards" https only sites.
