Hi,
First of all let me say that I have been reading the posts here for quite a while and find everything to be really helpful. I am new to all this and as I saw quoted in another post "I know enough to be dangerous" I have done SEO on about 4 different sites with excellent results.....until now. A friend asked me to give him suggestions etc for his online shoe store. I gave him a few suggestions and we submitted the site to Google and others on 3/29/04. The site is now no where to be found on Google, even when the store name is entered. The site is done in ASP (which I am clueless about) I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not. Should I go ahead and resubmit it or just leave well enough alone? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Darby
I would leave it alone. The site isn't indexed long and it could reappear soon.

Welcome Darby62!
As David said, it is too new to worry about it. You should always give a new site at least a couple of months to get settled in to an index. Good luck with it!

Thank you for your replies, I will leave well enough alone and encourage this client to be patient. I suppose my main reason for concern was because the site was indexed about 5 or 6 months ago. It seemed like all of a sudden it just vanished.

If you want to do something now (and I well know that ichy hands feeling) I would begin link building. It will give you something productive to do and also give google and Yahoo a reason to visit more often.
