Splash screens are good way to make search engines ignore your site - especially if they can't find the actual entrance link to the site. Not to mention that they may also annoy some of your human visitors ...

There's also an FAQ entry: Geeklog and search engines

bye, Dirk

have allready take a look that site, but still nothing

Still nothing what?

Being listed by Google takes time. Did you check if the Googlebot has even visited your site yet? Do you have links pointing to your site? And if so, did it spider anything besides the front page?

i have waiting for 2 weeks now, i have add some tag to my index.htm and addurl to google, but where i cant find that googlebot ?

Dirk give it up. Obviously rather than finding a site about SEO he wants it handed to him on a plate.

Don't waste your breath if he is not willing to go learn some of the basics jeez.

I mean he has been waiting two whole weeks shouldn't he get more stikes on Google than Yahoo by now?

Check your webserver's logfiles. You should see entries like this
But, as Guy wrote, these are really the basics. Try to actually read all the resources I've already pointed you to or find a general site about search engines and how they work ...

o cant open my logs forder.... is there a simble way than this ?

some times i have installed e107 site on my system, i dont need to do nothing for google.. google will find my site automaticly.... what are you missing bout your site as e107 ?

As the FAQ says, Geeklog sites are indexed just fine. It must be something on your site (e.g. that splash screen you mentioned). But without an URL there's no way of telling ...

i have not addurl to google my site url when i have e107 page system istalled, i just go to google and find some words, then google find my site and that is

Sheer luck then. And it has nothing to do with the software you're using for your site.

I've never submitted any of my sites to Google either, but only linked to them from other sites. If you have links from sites with a high page rank, you're usually listed within a short time.
