I have website on 203.162.177.159:8071 (Actually, that isn't the real IP address, I changed it for this question.) Because of an internal rule, this site must not have a domain name, and running on non-standard port.

In Google Webmaster Tools, I see

  • no crawl errors found
  • no verification errors found
  • I tried "Fetch as Google" and they are all successful. I can then click the URL to get to the page myself.
  • I don't have the sitemap yet

So why the crawled page and indexed page is still zero? Does Google not accept non-domain-name URLs?

  • Do you have a robots.txt? How long is your site online / added to GWT?

  • @LockeVN You're using a non-standard port, so you might add that to your question as well.

  • I'm not sure how these would be shown in Webmaster Tools, so maybe that's a bit confusing (send me an example via Google+ if you want me to check with the team). Commented May 21, 2014 at 8:46

Google does index sites accessible under IPs.
Random example: 162.13.35.10

Also indirectly confirmed by Matt Cutts:
Can rel="canonical" index my hostname and not my IP address?

    Yep, we can index sites on IP addresses and/or on non-standard ports. Commented May 21, 2014 at 8:46
