Fuck, why does Google hate me...

[LazyD]

So, I posted this over at DP too, but I figured it was probably way more worthwhile to talk to people who actually seem to know what the fuck they are talking about...

I just did a new layout for the site (Credit Cards site in my sig...) and ive been trying to get my on page SEO in order and doin well. I think ive nailed it pretty well (Suggestions are welcome).

Anyway, my site has NEVER been indexed by Google. According to Google Webmaster Tools the Googlebot has crawled on average, 7 pages per a day in the last 90 days. I cant see where it shows the last date the Googlebot visited my site but according to my AWStats I have had 23 visits from the Googlebot. It gets really scary when I go to Webmaster Tools to Statistics>Page Analysis and I see the the "In your Sites Contents" portion... The words its displaying are error words like:

unknown
failed
getcredi
public_html
denied
lib
permission
stream
usr
include_path
inclusion
local
null
opening

My site is currently having no problem with PHP Includes, MySQL queries etc that would cause the pages to kick out errors with words like the above....I did a thing where you can view your page as the Googlebot and except the fact that it didnt find my stylesheet and 1 image it looked fine, no errors, no nada.

EDIT: I submit sitemaps regularly and it says it downloads them Ok

Does anyone know if there is a way to update that info?
Is there a way I can see WHEN the last time the Googlebot visited my site?
Is there a way I can tell for sure if my site has been banned? My site has been up since late September 2006 and I have never been indexed.

Now, im gonna go out on a limb and say my site is banned from google... While this is a credit card site its never been overly spammy, when I first bought it Yahoo had cached alot of spammy looking URLs. Im thinking that the domain was banned before I ever picked it up...

I submitted a Reinclusion Request last week and havent heard anything from Google...

Also, does anyone know of some htaccess code to redirect an entire domain to a new domain that will keep the URL after the domain... Ex: http://olddomain.com/credit-cards/bad.php > http://newdomain.com/credit-cards/bad.php

Lets do some tests go to Google and type in your website url, if it shows up then your listed in google, if it doesn't try this type link: YOUR WEB ADDRESS and see what comes up, that should tell you the number of links to your site.

Thrid is how many backlinks to your site, it sounds like you know how to check all of this but if you've got 5 backlinks with zero page rank then google is not going to index you, simply put you should not have a problem getting index by google if you have some decent PR sites linking to you (That is related to your content sites linking to you).

Yeah ok sorry that was kind of confusing to read but whatever. Let me know, maybe we can work this thing out.

Well, I already know that im not indexed and my site does not show up in Google.

I did the link: getcredit365.com thing and theres 10 pages of sites with links to getCredit365.Com, according to Iwebtool I have 93 backlinks, many with PR.. Backlinkwatch.com shows I have 317 Backlinks...

Today I did a 301 redirect of the entire site from getcredit365.com to getcredit365.net so I guess well see if the domain was banned after all.

Also, Ive always under-estimated the power of social bookmarking sites like digg, del.ico.us, furl and stumble upon. I posted an article on my site and submitted to those sites and I usually have like... ~25 uniques a day, im already at ~185 for today....

Yeah social bookmarking can be very powerful, most of the time you won't see a major increase in traffic with them but its the odd time when you get a good article dugg, it can be viewed around 2000 times in under a week, which you cannot complain about.
