What a frustrating 5 months. I had made a website called www.thinkingproducitivty.co.uk about 5 months ago thinking that Google will be lapping up the content like a cat who has no concept of being full, alas, I was wrong.

After 5 months of no Google indexing, I realised there was a problem. It took all my courage to a post on the Wordpress site with such an embarassing issue.

I got some great responses and I truly thank the users for helping me out:

One of them suggested it might be a server issue. I contacted one.com to see if there was any problems with the servers that might be blocking Google index from my Wordpress website. The customer service guy “Eduard” responded within about 10 seconds with “check your .htaccess file”…

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all

order deny,allow
deny from all

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

*FACEPALM*

I simply removed the lines above

# BEGIN WordPress

And literally facepalmed myself, not palmed... That would be very weird? no?.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
