Google does not index my site, i.e. only my meta-description gets listed on Google. Thomas Gumz mentioned in another post, that Google indexes sites whether “!” or “?” is used.
Does anyone have some hints, design tips or the like for designing a Domino based website which Google (and other search engines) will crawl.

Have you checked your server doc:Internet Protocols/Domino Web Engine tabs, section named “Conversion/Display”?
There is a setting:
“Make this site accessible to web search site crawlers:” which is disabled by default.
Good luck

It was disabled, however, I believe Google should index domino sites no matter the setting of “Make this site accessible to web search site crawlers:”. It might work for other crawlers now, however, so thanks.I still would like to hear from someone who has been focusing on this problem before.
Thanks,

If you are doing web hosting the R6 way (Internet Site documents) you will find the setting on those documents not the server document.
Does anyone found any hitches on this settting being disabled:
“Redirect to resolve external links:”
Subject: Thinks to consider
a) take a look at Google Search Central (formerly Webmasters) | Web SEO Resources | Google for Developers, if you havn’t already.b) If you submitted your site to google via http://www.google.com/addurl.html and the google bot started to crawl your site (seems to be the case, since the meta data is appearing, as you say), make sure that lower-level pages can be crawld from the toplevel page and are not protected by ACLs or robots.txt files. Other than that, there is not much you can do except to look at your weblogs to see what pages the google bot fetches. If it fetches most/all of them and they simply don’t show up in the google index then a) your overall page-rank isn’t deemed high enough by google to be included in the index or it simply hasn’t been included in their live index just yet.
