Search Engine Promotion Mistakes
Full-Fledged Browser Required, Bad DNS Settings

<<< Site Down, Bad robots.txt File
Many webmasters have the problem that their Web site is not listed in search engines at all. There can be a variety of reasons that your Web site doesn't show up on search engines.
#13: Your Web Pages Require A Full-Fledged Browser
When search engines crawl the Web to find new Web pages, they use special software for it, called "spiders", "robots" or "crawlers".
These crawler programs don't have the functionality of full-fledged Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
In fact, search engine robot programs look at your Web pages like a text browser does. They like text, text, and more text. They ignore information contained in graphic images but they can read <IMG ALT> text descriptions.
This means that search engine spider programs are not able to use Web browser technology to access your site. If your Web pages require Flash, DHTML, cookies, JavaScript, Java or passwords to access the page, then search engine spiders might not be able to index your Web site.
Therefore, it might be a good idea to test your Web pages with very old versions of Web browser applications or with the software program "Lynx", a text-only browser.
Lynx is available for download: http://lynx.browser.org/ Here's an online version of Lynx that allows you test your Web pages with a text-only browser quickly and easily: http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html .

#14: Search Engines Could Not Resolve Your DNS Name
There's a mistake that novice users often do. They register a domain name (for example, www.my-great-site.com), and they immediately submit the Web site URL to the search engines.
Then they wonder why the search engines didn't index their site. The answer is, they weren't able to do it.
It takes approximately 2-4 days until a domain name becomes active. All Internet access providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. The process of updating DNS tables is called propagation.
Search engines must also update their DNS tables and until then, the new domain name www.my-great-site.com doesn't work.
So when you register a new domain name, you must wait about 48-72 hours until you can submit the domain name to the search engines.
