Okay this is my site: MichaelLindahl.com  I have added it to Google Webmaster Tools, and to the addurl page.  Search michaellindahl in google and you see they see my cached site as nothing... http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:aiSpCX_M2u4J:michaellindahl.com/+michaellindahl&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us&client=safari

I also tried to verify my site in Google Webmaster tools using HTML and this is what they said
We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.

Why is this not working?

you need to use the meta tag method for verification, the html file one wont work on 110mb servers

okay thanks, i did that and it works but now how come google, sees my site as nothing, and it shows up just as "michaellindahl.com" not "my site"


also how can I do a mobile version of my site (right now I am doing it with another 110mb account and its on mobile.michaellindahl.com)

[general vegitable]

just wait a few minutes/hours/days for google to index your site

[Piotr GRD]

Your main page is indexed already. For the rest - you have to give Google their time...

Code:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Amichaellindahl.110mb.com&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

Okay how to I index my site, and how can I implement a mobile version of my site.  I want someone to go to the mobile version, when they visit my site from a mobile device automatically.  Right now I am just using mobile.michaellindahl.com on another 110mb account

[general vegitable]

you will need to submit that one aswell

[Piotr GRD]

Indexed - but not cached.

Just type:
"site:michaellindahl.110mb.com"

[thefluffball]

Sorry, should have read more carefully.

Okay is there any reason for me to do a sitemap, and how would I do that??

Is that a different question? (*hint*)

Have a read and determine for yourself if an XML sitemap would be useful to you. When you have made up your mind, come back and ask your question

[Piotr GRD]

Not neccessary, but useful (for search engines if there is no links accessible for search engines).
It can be even simple text file with links inside for Google, in example:

Code:

http://michaellindahl.110mb.com/
http://michaellindahl.110mb.com/mysite/welcome.html
http://michaellindahl.110mb.com/mysite/about_me.html
http://michaellindahl.110mb.com/mysite/schedule.html
...

or some xml versions, like inportb wrote.
There are some tools for automatically create site maps - search for "sitemap generator" or similar in Google etc.



About redirecting mobile users to mobile version...
I am not familiar at all with websites for mobiles, but I guess that they have different User Agent strings than "normal" browsers. If yes, then using PHP or .htaccess you can redirect them basing on some keywords in the User Agent string. You just created separate topic for this - good.

What is the best way to make a sitemap, I have tried some free services, and they dont really work, they either only show one url or show the main one, and widget.html files, not the right ones, and I only want google to see michaellindahl.com not michaellindahl.110mb.com

Then publish only the link that you want to expose to Google, and remove other links. Google is smart, see, and indexes what you think is important.
