New Domain Won't Index

I have a new domain that just won't get indexed. I know some take a while... even after I Digg/Delicious/StumbleUpon/Identica/comment/backlink/WF sig/ping etc it still averages out to about 5-8 days to get the initial page indexed (I don't know how you guys are getting new domains indexed under 24 hours!).

But this one site I have, it has been well over 30 days and still no sign of the first page being indexed in google after doing all of the above.

The only thing I could think of is that I did start this site with a blank root page, and filled out other inner pages first for a few weeks before doing the root page. However, I have done this before and it never mattered.

So I googled "banned domains google" and ran it through some of those "checkers" that showed up and got nothing. A search on google for the domain in quotes also brings up nothing. Maybe there's a better way?

Does this ever happen to y'all? I'm not really sure what to do now.

        I get New domains indexed in a couple of days or less, If I'm not trying at all.

        +1. I set up a new domain a few days ago. Created all my pages and did nothing but put the names on the pages. I just started working on it more seriously yesterday and it had already been indexed and a few visitors had popped in that I wasn't expecting.

      Its not true. The speed of indexing websites relates to the quality of backlinks they had. Even if a new website has quality backlinks, Google indexes it fast. And as i know, Google index new websites very faster than 4 months. Maybe Bing index them after some months. But with a little of backlinks, Google index new domains too.

    Hi pack12,

    A word of advice. Instead of worrying too much about your site getting indexed, why don't you spend your efforts making more content or promoting your site? When you do that, indexing will be the least of your concerns.

      Well said Aira. His effortless concerns will take him only on a blank results. Focus on quality link building to make sure that your site is in stable status in google rankings.

    Have you tried creating rss feed and submitting the rss to rss directories? You can convert html to rss free using html2rss (dot) com

    Ever tried twitter, facebook or clipmarks?

    Another way is to create a general blog or web 2.0 property and post general stuffs or rewritten plr to it. Get this general web property indexed. Use this general blog or web property to provide backlinks to your new sites. Often web properties such as gather or blogger gets crawled quite often and it is easier to get your new sites index in such a way, by blogging or writing about your new site and providing a backlink to it.

    that's strange - which cms are you using - some of my sites have nothing on them, and get indexed within three weeks, some even have a page rank zero, and have nothing on the site.

    Buyseech - yeah I have seen your post before, thanks.

    There is a sitemap, and the site is crawlable. This is a wordpress install.

    Happyeagle - that is my experience too, but something is up with this one site. It's taking way too long, which leads me to believe there is something else wrong.

    Maybe I will try submitting to Google Webmaster Tools.......

    I had one that took 2 weeks but it did get indexed.....sometimes 24 hours sometimes longer....as long as you checked and its not banned AND it had no previous foulness you just have to wait it out BUT continue to build on it.

      Ok I've run the profit instruments tool, although I have run this domain through a list of site valuation tools before also. And today I have added it to Google Webmaster Tools.. we'll see if it gets indexed. I suspect something else is wrong though since it has been waaaay too long.

      Is there some other way of checking if this domain has been banned? It seems like these "checkers" that show up on google just search if the domain has PR, backlinks, or any results that show in Google. They all say that this site is "likely to be new, or banned" based on no PR, no backlinks yet.

      Hey thanks for the help. Yes I do know how to check if its indexed. That is the problem though, it is not indexed and won't index after 30+ days of actively trying to index it. This is not normal for me.

    I was going to link to a post I did on rapid indexing, then realised its a members only article! Oh well.

    Grab a blogger blog, write some stuff and link to your URLs.
    Send an email to yourself in gmail containing the URL.
    Ping it
    Submit it as an rss feed by converting using html2rss.com then feedage.com
    Open a webmaster tools account and submit a sitemap

    Seriously, that all takes about 10 minutes and should get a new site indexed in a day, if it doesn't, PM me and I'll get it indexed.

      Okay next day update. Submitted to GWT and did all the above to 2 domains. The brand new domain got indexed, but the stubborn one (30+ days old) is still nowhere to be found.

      @Toybox - I have tried putting it in my WF sig for over a week already. No Dice. This usually does work for my other domains though.

    hey pack, it would really help you get indexed quicker if you added a link to it from your forum signature *if only temporarily* such as that on warrior forum or any other great forums.

    I would also recommend web 2.0 properties. I am not sure how effective digg type sites are for indexing comparatively.

    I can get any domain indexed in less than a day by linking to it from one of my other sites that is:

    1) An old domain
    2) An authority site (ie. big site)

    That's how we all get them indexed super fast. I don't mess with the junk tools that are used to get them indexed because the eventually get abused.

    If you have a big, well established site, just link to your new sites and they will get index.

    I usually don't have an issue with getting domains indexed at all.

    This domain is now going on 6+ weeks and still has 0 pages indexed. I just submitted this site to Google for reconsideration since it's probably banned. Hopefully this wont cause any problems for my other sites...

      Hi pack12,

      When you submit and verify a sitemap on Google's webmaster tools you will see a section in there called Diagnostics. This is where Google will let you know if they are having problems crawling or indexing your website. Have you looked there, and if you did, what did you find?

      It could be either your host blocking the Googlebot or your domain may have been previously banned. You will usually see a message indicating the issue in Webmaster Tools.

        What I think I've also discovered is that Google applies an arbitrary opinion on your site... basically, does it have quality content and is it "worth" indexing.
        I can't quite figure it out, but it appears if you have a site with several adsense ads and you're selling an affiliate product, they may not index you at all. Period.
        I have a site that I can get traffic to by posting blog comments, but I did several things and google seems to hate it:
        1. I used a free hosting and their subdomain. The free hosting isn't the problem, but using mysite.netii.net seems to irritate them, because the keywords pulled up are NEVER the ones from my content but from the parent site.
        2. Adsense ads - I created this site as a WP blog, with about 6 pages - each with adsense ads. Original content, but admittedly not a lot.
        3. Selling a clickbank product - after the content, I like to an appropriate clickbank product.

        Now, I've created backlinks, sitemaps, submitted the sitemap and the site itself.... to no avail.
        Comment from a google help forum was something like
        "do you really think your site adds anything to someone searching for that keyword"

        So, in the future my approach will be to have MORE content on my own paid for domain with less ads and make the clickbank link less obvious and in-your-face.

          Hi jonrpatrick,

          You are partially correct. Google does have a policy against what they call thin affiliate sites.

          I suggest that you study and get to know Google's Guidelines for Webmasters. You will find things Google likes and doesn't like to see on a webpage.

          Google doesn't even consider whether your page is hosted on a free or paid account, nor do they care what domain you place your content on, unless of course the webpage has links to pages that are violating their guidelines.
