Ok guys, here's my problem!
I setup VB with Vbadvanced and vbseo, I created sitmaps and verified through google webmaster that everthing was ok.
My site is up and running for atleast 3 months now, Yahoo indexed me no problems....google is a whole different story.
I notice googlebot and googleads bot are spidering my site and have been from the begining ....and there's alot of google bot activity but no indexing.
I checked to see if Google blackballed me but I havent received any notification of such.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?

it says I cant post URL's till 10 posts.
but here (you're the owner) ineedguidance. com

sorry about the link thing, it's an anti spam setting..

Anyways, it looks like you need to get more backlinks..

plus I notice that your not showing the archive links to guest.. This is a good setting in vbseo to have on

So, I'd try and get some high PR backlinks.. just search "back links" on vBulletin Setup and you'll find a few good articles about backlinks.

I noticed also recently that Google is keen about indexing... Bots and spiders all over doesn't mean they take in account what they get. Or maybe they do some caching for a period and look after some time if still there to avoid having links to non existing content ??? It is also true that the longer your board/content is online, the easier it becomes. Seems there is some indicator of 'trustworthy' with them.

Aeroclix -- DistantHost link directory
Domains hosting, server rent... -- Distant-Help link directory

our site indexed pages have been going up and down - now there are indexed more pages than we actully have..?!
i assume it means they have doubles, which i think isn't good for us..but what can i do??

If you are using highly competitive keywords then it can take a lot longer to get indexed. You need backlinks either way. Submit to some directories, use sig links on releated forums, etc.
