That is very obvious! Maybe you should consult the google search engine itself, instead of your friend. Enter this in the Google search bar: site:ampr.org This returns 17700 results of all kinds of different sites below .ampr.org. You see the domain names xxxx.ampr.org listed in the results. So there really is no problem indexing ampr.org sites. I think what you encounter is the difficulty to add a NEW site to the index, not any generic problem with .ampr.org. They probably aren't that eager to add a new site, of which you specify only a start URL, to their index. And rightly so. That capability was likely abused widely. Instead, you should (ask to) put links to your site from other sites relevant to the subject of your own site. E.g. the page of your local club, other people's private sites, etc. Then, after some time, indexing will occur. Rob
