Using Heroku's Free Domain

509 Views Asked by At

I want to use the domain Heroku is hosting my Rails app on. It is something along the lines of http://quiet-waters-7769.herokuapp.com. Can I make this viewable in sites like google? Even if I search for an exact string within my page, google doesn't return my site. It seems like all Heroku domains are unlisted. Is this something I can change in my Heroku settings?

Check your robots.txt and all your meta tags, and make sure you're not telling google to NOT index your site.

Also, you have to give google time, and a reason to index your site. Just because you have a website, doesn't mean Google will index all your pages.

herokuapp.com domains get indexed fine.
