Does CreateAForum automatically submit a new forum to search engines ?  About how long can it take to be indexed with them ?

Yes, I believe after 25 posts. Search engines it various there is no guarantee on time line.

Not sure why, but when I check to see if my forum is being indexed by searching, site:https://shiwanpottery.createaforum.com/ via Google, it says "Your search - site:https://shiwanpottery.createaforum.com/ -- did not match any documents

It seems like the forum is not being crawled / indexed at all.

And when I simply enter "Chinese Shiwan Ceramic Collecting Discussion Forum" into Google, it is not showing up on any of the returned pages at all..

You can grab your sitemap at Admin -> Forum Settings
Then submit to google directly via google webmaster tools.

I changed the name for the forum, from "Chinese Shiwan Ceramic Discussion Forum", to "Shiwan Ceramic and Pottery Collecting Group Forum" over a week ago.


The search engines are not picking up on the new name.


I resubmitted the site map, and pinged the site a few times, but still not picking up on the new title.


Any ideas why CreateAForum or anyone else ?

Would it help or can you replace the current site map with an updated one that I can submit ?

Just a thought ..

The sitemap is dynamic. It is updated in real time.

Ok, thank you...


I may have figured it out.. I tried to be a little sneaky and put meta tags in the news section and also the footer, but colored the text to match the page background.  I think that "may have" caused problems, so removed all of those and resubmitted for indexing..


Also been using something called "Site247" for monitoring everything.. Prior to removing all those meta tags, it started giving me a notice that read, "Defacement, Content integrity check failed" (pic attached). Sort of like saying the forum had been hacked. Now that I removed those tags, everything seems back to normal again.


Not sure, but think the search engines did not like those camouflaged meta tags.

Yeah if you have duplicate tags might not like that.
