Someone mentioned to me that my site isn't able to be crawled by spiders. I don't know why that would be. Is there something I need to set up or change? Thank you!

UPDATE: This site is now forwarded to another site, so the question is no longer relevant. But I'm leaving this here since the question and answer might help others.

Watch out for disreputable SEO people trying to sell you some package that will get you to number one or improve your rankings.

Google has crawled your site. So I assume other engines will do so.

Now being indexed and ranking well are two totally different matters.
