I have published my site and while I understand search engines like google will take a while to find it, the only computer that finds it is my home computer on which it was created. Typing the full address does not find it. www.vineyardlabradoodles.com ? |

I just clicked the link and it works fine for me. What happens when you go to it? |

if you go to that address and you see a page cannot be found message, or something like that, then you might be looking at a cached version of it from when the site didn't exist. Try holding down your ctrl key while clicking the refresh button in your browser and see if that forces it to clear the cache and show the site. |

Thanks for quick response.
Should it make a difference if the search is on an i phone? I am never getting it on the phone internet, the google says site not found and offers others, yahoo search just offers other sites. my home computer offers my site sometimes and a list of other sites sometimes (tried 3 times on each since your reply)

Hi,
It might not show up in searches yet, but you can go directly to the site by putting the address in to the browser. That's how one usually visits a website unless they do a google search for somthing they are lookign for and wanting to find sites related to what they are searching for, but you wouldnt put the website address its3elf into a google search, as that's redundant when you can just put it into the address bar and go directly to the site. |

Thanks Roger,
My phone was set to automatical do a google ie that was the only address bar. I would have thought it would still come up though or would that be limiting the search to only things already trolled???? by google? |

Yep, you're right, google will only return a website address from a search if it has already been to it and indexed it. |
