My Website is not listed/index by Google
My website www.engentis.com and www.engentis.ch is not index by Google. I added my site serveral month ago and I re-added my site also several times.
What can I do to get my site listed? Do I need to add specifiy keywords or meta tags?

Your site has a PR and a cached image. Why would you think it's not indexed when it obviously is?

You have a PR3, but too much graphics and too little text on your home page

Content is King.

Scrap the home page. There is no content. You lose points for that.
Scrap tables for layout. Too much markup. Not enough content. You lose points for that.
Scrap the javascript navigation. Makes your site inaccessible to approx. 13% of Internet users and (my opinion) may prevent the site from being crawled.

Some reasons why:

There is no text
Too many keywords
Slow load time
No referring pages
Start using alt tags.

If you would like i could optimize your front page for $20. That would include going through keywords and a little change on the entry page. However, you need to get reputable websites in the same industry to link to you. For instance find someone who is a markteing consultant and try and get them to link. That way you don't steal business share.

To kinda of answer my own question I found this site Website optimization and it kind of advises you on where you might be going wrong with regards to page load times....

E.g. the results that I received were like this, a lot of useful info I wasn't aware of...

Code:
# TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 11 - consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
# TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this page (9 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try re-using the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching.
# TOTAL_CSS - Congratulations, the total number of external CSS files on this page is 1 . Because external CSS files must be in the HEAD of your HTML document, they must load first before any BODY content displays. Although they are cached, CSS files slow down the initial display of your page.
# TOTAL_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this page is 95371 bytes, which will load in over 8 seconds on a 56Kbps modem - or 19.21 seconds. Consider reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second response times on 56K connections. Be sure to provide feedback for pages over 30K by layering your design to display useful content within the first two seconds. Consider optimizing your site with Speed Up Your Site or contacting us about our optimization services.
# HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 54488 bytes, which is above 20K but below 100K. With a 10K ad and a logo this means that your page will load in over 8.6 seconds. Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.
# IMAGES_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your images is 35356 bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.
# CSS_SIZE - Caution. The total size of your external CSS is 5527 bytes


Back to the drawing board I guess, because there is plenty of room for improvement

Thanks, but I'm afraid I don't understand your answer. What does PR mean? And how do you know that my homepage is indexed?

Thanks and sorry for these beginner questions.

You know it is indexed b/c if you go to GOOGLE and search
"www.engentis.com"
You page shows up. Since you don't have enough content, it doesn't index past first page, nor can it, in flash.

PR means page rank
basically the higher your page rank is the more information you have on your site
on your homepage put more information about what your company does and you will get a higher PR

How do you create a signature file for this forum? I can't see the option in my account. Do you need to post a certain amount of replies to get this option?
