Hi ime on a fixed IP 81.102.255.73 with virginmedia broadband uk , and ive had that site since 25-Aug-2005. Ocasionally id take that site down for whatever reason for two or three months by which time i wouild have to give that site to GOOGLE to put it up on the web again via there "webmaster tools, url submiter" ,it might take 3-4 days but it was put up. Now ive been on there site about 2 weeks and it still hasn't shown. At the moment ive just made a basic site as per: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta name="google-site-verification" content="MleUBmNj7fKfjSVF32pukZHIo3Gr5JoYAA7tiCmspfM" /> <title>my site</title> </head> <body> <h1>Does it work</h1> </body> </html> just to get it running but as i say ive been 4 days now and waiting?? do i keep waiting? By the way who is RENO that you mentioned DNS TXT, META TAG, GOOGLE ANALYTICS, DOMAIN NAME PROVIDER. i never had to do that are they essential?
