I have to recreate this post, because the site was restored back to the point immediately before the entry.
The past two hours have been spent on the phone with Bluehost, trying to figure out why Google refuses to index this site. Google says it’s due to a redirection.
Microsoft’s Bing search engine, and the scrappy newcomer DuckDuckGo, are both indexing and searching the site without a problem, but apparently Google has a requirement that isn’t being met. Which means Google is saying, “you are dead to me.”
With any luck Neal (or Neil), at Bluehost has done something that might help. For now I’m just happy to be working again.
P.S. Another problem that I hope won’t return. “Forbidden — You don’t have permission to access this resource.Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
