Anyone noticed this happen when trying to get Google to index your site?

13 years ago

Had this happen to a recent domain I bought.

Turns out even with my new site on it, Google takes caution as the domain was known as a spamming site, or whatever.

I didn't worry about it and about 10 days later everything turned out like it should. Now I am strongly chasing top position for multiple keywords. Basically it's like this: If a domain is brand new to you, give it time.

Give it another week and see what happens before you start to worry...

Thanks

I have submitted it yes. I don't have a sitemap though. It's the site in my signature. I have an RSS feed though and there are links to "other" questions on each question page which are random so it's pretty easy for Google to navigate.

Don't forget Google Analytics...Submit there too!

You have a brand new site suddenly pop up with 1800 pages of almost identical content (nothing changed but a single sentence in an h1 tag).

This might seem harsh but i wouldnt expect much of that to get indexed even after a while.

What platform have you used? Is it bespoke? Could you schedule the questions to appear over time?

If you scraped the questions from somewhere (which i guess you did) can you go back and scrape the answers and drip those in over time?

Thanks

I developed the software yes. I was thinking adding a schedule but I know people who do the same and are indexed and getting organic traffic.

I am going to change synonyms and schedule and provide unique answers for a percentage of the questions. Hopefully that should be enough to beat the competition.

It sounds like Google hasn't figured out what the site is yet. Give it time. It will come around. New site are quick to be indexed, but domains that have been scrambled like that, I have found, take time to clear up. All of the old indexing has to be worked out which is a sloooooow process, unlike initial indexing.

Thanks

I find that submitting my sites to Google webmaster tools does the trick, I think it shows that your concerned with learning what needs to be done to give users a better experience.

Yes i am sure that would help. Also, following on from my previous reasons you might have problems with this site, googles cache shows it redirected to a less that legitimate flog, of the type that caused a round of lawsuits (fake network logos etc). Google info:answersbank.net to see what i mean. Whilst im not suggesting in the slightest that you had anything to do with that, the previous owners activities may have put a serious black mark on it.

Thanks

I'll just throw this out there cause this actually happened to me once. But if it's a wordpress blog, make sure that it's set to public.

Otherwise, I would continue to send links to the page. It'll get indexed eventually, even if you do nothing.

To me, social bookmarking/pinging to get pages noticed is kinda "dead" (hate to use that word). There's way too much noise out there.

How come that domain comes up when I type in my domain? Never heard of it before :/

I did let a client use the servers for a couple of weeks after I developed his FB application. But I'm still confused how that, or what, would cause some other domain to come up when searching my site.

Any help?

Thanks

That comes up if your domain had a 301 redirect to that site in place last time google cached your site.
