localchurchdiscussions.com is not appearing in Google results
Even when you search for localchurchdiscussions.com on Google, the site does not appear in the results. What's going on?
https://www.google.com/search?q=loca...iscussions.com Perhaps the site admin could use https://search.google.com/search-console to diagnose the issue preventing localchurchdiscussions.com from being indexed.

Re: localchurchdiscussions.com is not appearing in Google results
I found the reason is because the robots.txt file prevents Googlebot so this seems intentional:
https://localchurchdiscussions.com/robots.txt Is this to save on server cost? Did you know you can adjust the crawl rate in the Google search console? Would be happy to help with server costs if this is an issue.

Quote:
So when someone in the LC tries to look up information regarding Witness Lee, they will never be able to find https://localchurchdiscussions.com/ via Google or any other search engine. In this current state the site can then only grow traffic based on email, social media shares or word of mouth. I recommend removing the robots.txt file to allow search engines to index localchurchdiscussions.com For more information on robots.txt here is a resource: https://searchfacts.com/robots-txt-allow-disallow-all/
