We submitted our site www.freestyleforum.tk to google a while ago, but I can't find our site there. Why not !??! I've looked in the webdirectory for sports/windsurfing, but nothing.

Do I have to do anything else to get my site published there ?
I'm not talking about ranks here. First of all I want it to be shown :)

Did you submit to Google or did you submit to the ODP? I would recommend both. In either case, you probably wouldn't be listed yet.

The ODP can take months to list your site (if they decide to list it at all). The editors are all volunteers.

It can take between 2-8 weeks to be listed in Google's serps. As far as I can tell, you aren't there yet. Check your site logs and see if you've been crawled yet. I wouldn't expect your site to show up until at least the end of the next dance (end of this month) and possibly not until the one after that.

I have submitted to both ODP http://dmoz.org/Sports/Water_Sports/Windsurfing/ and google.

How can I see if my site has been crawled ?

[Shalinara]

Check your server logs or your site stats. You should find Googlebot in there somewhere if you've been crawled. How long ago did you submit?

[Joakim]

Unfortunately I can't see who's been on the site. Just wich country they are from. As a service from dot.tk :)

I think we submitted it about a month ago. Not really sure, but something like that.
