INTERNET MARKETING

The site is www.getoriginalarticleswritten.com.

It was brand new.

I did the following...a press release (PR) on wed evening. Digg on PR wed. Announced on twitter/facebook wed. Received some orders on wed. Received some diggs from customers and friend (5) total. Put site in my sig for the warrior forum.

Put the PR in google notebook (took it out now). Put the PR on my blog.

Received rankings for 3 search terms / 1- ranked # 8, 1- ranked 1,2,3,5, and 1 ranked around 5. Sites ranked where the PR, my site, and digg.

Now my site is out of the index completley. No pages indexed, domain not found.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Yeah, I am not sure why, but it happens.

They will get indexed and then they may drop off in the rankings or even disappear completely, then they come back... just keep building your links and such to it.

  Pretty typical for salesletter mini sites. That's what all of mine have done. It will come back but probably not on the first page of google.
  
  Add a blog on the domain and post often. That can get traffic. Or add more content to the site with an article map and about 10-20 articles. Very worthwhile if you want SE traffic. Chris R. taught me this if I remember right. It works.

Googles index doesnt update in every single one of their data centers at the same time.

Give it time, after a while you'll be back as it doesnt sound like you did anything suspicious.

Good Luck

The same thing happened to me about a week ago.I never had trouble getting new pages ranked high and fast, but I was having a hell of a time with one of my sites.

I was scratching my head and thought there was something wrong, like a robots.txt I forgot about. Google finally picked up only the index, terms of services and contact page... then it disappeared entirely... then it all showed up a week later.

Give it some time, but in the meantime keep building backlinks and you'll be in good shape.

  Yes, this has happened to me three times in the last few weeks. Had it happen a bit before but it seems google must be doing something diifferent because it is more notable right now.

  Hope you don't consider this "hijacking" the thread but I have a question -- constantly on the search for steps up the learning curve.
  
  Deverell quote "Add a blog on the domain and post often. That can get traffic. Or add more content to the site with an article map and about 10-20 articles."
  
  Would you mind explaining the term "article map". I have been studying article writing and am just beginning to use them to drive traffic to my site. Just haven't heard this term before -- nothing unusual for me.

It all comes down to fresh, quality content. Keep putting new stuff there. Don't put the cart before the horse. Think about it from Google's perspective -- they want to deliver the highest quality, most relevant content for whatever search.

This happens all the time... but (just like everyone says) keep on building your site content/backlinks and everything will be fine. It should be back in a week or so...

  Welcome to the Sandbox.
  
  New domains that quickly rise to the top will usually be deindexed for a few days before reappearing and bouncing around some more. It's nothing unusual, just Google being Google.
  
  Thanks

Add a /blog directory and post daily. This will ensure your content will appear relevant, building and active to the search engine. Google loves attached blogs with original content. Make sure you link to other articles.

I'd recommend having a blog and posting to it frequently as well. The blog has to be linked from the home page as well. And you should definitely have outbound links on your home page to internal pages, at least.

  Hi Carol;
  
  An article map is a link to a list of your article pages. A small link down in the footer that says Articles. You don't really want many people to click on it, more for the search engines to find but it is there if people want to read more about a topic. Its a good way to add content to your salesletter.
  
  Thanks

Google has a habit of ranking new websites really high for a very short period of time. Your site will then disappear and if you keep it fresh with a strong linking campaign, it will start to percolate back up to the top.

Thanks for the additional details since yesterday.

Seems to be a common theme. Keep building backlinks, add blog/article map, keep site growing.

Thanks again.

Yes, it is a common theme. Remember, if you are in a competitive niche, not updating your site and getting more backlinks will assure that your site stays way off the front page.

This is the classic "Rank & Tank" in action.

As has been said multiple times above, build VALUE for the visitor in the form of quality content, site usability etc.

I heard of this before but never really experience it before.

A new site will get indexed super fast and after a short while, it will
disappear. And then it will come back again..

  Exactly. Think of it this way: the first time Google shows up, it's for a quick peek around, and it makes a snap judgement. Later, each time Googlebot goes back, it goes deeper into the site (assuming there's anything to look at :-) ) and refines its rankings.
  
  Just relax and keep working at it. The cream floats to the surface.
  
  Wendy.
