Hi bro,
Good to know that you are able to request a re-crawl at last. Google have made many changes to webmaster tools, you can now check if your robots.txt file is performing good or not. Goto Crawl > Robots file tester and check if Google is allowed or not. Not that you don’t know it, just wanted to remind you.
Thank you for sharing your experience!

🙂 Thanks a lot Sasidhar bro, actually I was planning to prepare a post on that as well. But anyways, Google is becoming smart day by day and bringing some really cool things on board.

Wow! This is very very very helpful Alok. I wouldnt have figured this out in a million years! This is something of prime importance.
One question though, how did you identify that google had stopped indexing your site? Is it through the google analytics which showed lesser traffic through search engines? What are the common symptoms?
-
Nope buddy, it cannot be tracked through Analytics. If Google stopped caching any of your pages then you might be able to know it through Google Webmaster tools, caching of individual pages were earlier tracked by searching cache:URL in Google, but these days it is not working. I use to check whether a page is cached or not through PageRank Status, a Google Chrome SEO Toolbar, clicking on which can show many related things about a page.

What does rendering do? Whenever I have selected the ‘ Fetch & Render’ option I see a Partial status, so I generally select the ‘Fetch’ option before I submit to Index, as I get to see status as ‘Complete’.

Hey Somali, thanks for asking this to me, I was keen to respond to your query. Let me tell you the meaning of rendering and as you might know it that it means “A depiction or interpretation, as in painting or music”. In case of Google Webmaster Tools, fetch is a process in which you fetch the particular page as Googlebot and see the results as HTML and codes. While when you render it, it helps you to visualize it. I mean for fetch it will show you the codes and HTML while with rendering it will show you the visual image of your page.
Indicator might be partial or complete, it does not matter much. As for rendering it actually shows some errors like pages sections blocked by Googlebot through robots.txt files, so it shows partial status only in general.
Hope you can now understand it clearly.

Thanks a lot for such great info so clear manner. I have a doubt over other issues, what need to with these options
Set up your Webmaster Tools account now:
1 Add all your website versions
Make sure you add both “www” and “non-www” versions for your site. Also, if you use the HTTPS protocol, add those variations as well.
Add a site
2 Select your preferred version
Choose whether you want your site to appear with or without “www” in Google Search.
Set preferred version
3 Select target country
Set your geographic preference if your site targets users in a specific country.

This helps Google better understand how to crawl your site.
