website still not searchable and TI shows club as suspended

Last month I wrote about how our website (#6395 Upward Bound) diasppeared when I changed the alias. (see below) . Pam assured me in her response that our site was still there which was great. She said that we can always access the site by number (6395.toastmastersclubs.org/). The problem now is that our site does not come up when I search for Upward Bound Toastmasters (only a notice to request a website and TI shows our club meetings as being suspended. . I changed the alias back to upward bound so I don't think that is the problem.

Can you help. Thank you. Dan

On January 18, 2021, I changed the web alias for club 6395 Upward Bound Toastmasterand the site disappeared. When I log in I in I get a Request A Website page. My club is about to hang me. What can I do.

Here's hoping you haven't been strung, drawn and quartered yet!:silly:

You can always reach your website by using the club number instead of the alias: 6395.toastmastersclubs.org/

albertaavenuetoastmasters.toastmastersclubs.org/ is working. You might need to clear your cache if you're still been redirected to the Request a website page.
Unless you really want such a long alias I recommend that you reduce it to albertaavenue

We do not control the search engines, You need to wait for your site to be found and searched again.

You have not done the basics like fixing the website at Toastmasters.org club central
How about on your district website is there a pointer to your site there?

Please read the documentation on search engines.

upwardbound.toastmastersclubs.org/ works
6395.toastmastersclubs.org/ works

The information shown on TI Find A Club needs to be updated by an officer. I looked your club up on Find a Club - it seems the last update for meeting times was "Meeting Times: Meetings suspended for now 7:00 pm" which is probably what you're seeing in your searches. And, as Brian noted, your website URL needs to be fixed there too - that is currently pointing to the Request a website page.
