My site got de-indexed from google :)

12 years ago

If you scan the page and it looks a like a page that adds value and not MFA, you can ask for reconsideration. If it looks anything close to MFA, it's not getting indexed again without a fresh start.

Sorry to hear man.. I've had a few experiences with that for sure.

One really cool trick I did on a site that had 35,000 pages indexed and got de-indexed was to throw a 301 up in my .htaccess file and recreate the site exactly as it was on a new domain. Within a week, I had more pages indexed and I was making money again. Not sure if it had anything to do with it.. as the search engines shouldn't have been visiting after a deindex, but I never check logs to verify crap like I should.

Thanks

It is not a MFA site. I was building a pure authority site with everything in place, like social proof, accounts in G+, FB, Pinterest, Youtube, Twitter... everywhere... It was like a real biz with useful information and affiliate product promotions...

Just can't believe how can it get deindexed!!!

Thanks for the suggestion... But right now, I just feel like getting out of the mercy of google... this is enough now... need to plan to go complete social...

not fully decided yet, but 1 thing is for sure.... going forward I won't let Google decide wholly on how I do business....

Will post my progress in this thread....

If Google suspects you of selling links, they won't care whether you have got original content or not, that is unless you have got a very important site.

As some one mentioned above, are you sure that your website was deindexed?

What is your website current position?

And as an advice this could be a google dance and you must know that a website is rarely de-indexed.

If we are not taking about G dance the probably your website get in to the sandbox. That is not a penalty tool but is more a maturation tool and with a so new website you will have no difficulty to get out of there.

Another few things..

Do not drop that website and try to put it back up.
And second do not stop your current backlinks building campaign since link velocity is very important. It will be better if you speed up a little.

But, yes the site is de-indexed, it is not google dance or sandbox.
I couldn't find it through site:mysite.com in google.

Do you still suggest that I keep on building backlinks to this site?

To be honest I never got an website that was de-indexed in the worst scenario my websites got sandboxed. So I'm not sure if my suggestion can still work.

The first idea that come to is to get another domain, similar with the first one with "-" or "_" between words and make a 301 redirect.

And like an idea that must be analyzed try to use a htacess rewrite rule but right now I can not say how to use it....

I will make a brief search about this and if I found something that can help I will come with a feedback.

Thank you

To me, I think the fact that you put a 301 in place from the branded domain name to your main site is the root of the problem.

The reason Google deindexed your main site is because of the redirect is kind of like saying the content on that branded site is on your main site.

Obviously without seeing your main site this is only my hunch but I would certainly say this is the most obvious avenue to investigate.

As for getting the site re-indexed. Remove all the redirects to it, make any changes necessary to the site and request a reconsideration through webmaster tools. Good luck!

Hey Steve,

It's just the otherwise, I did 301 from a previous site of mine to the branded domain (which is my main site now), the branded domain is what got de-indexed

I would try to remove the redirects, let me think over.

Sorry to hear that... And frankly submitting reconsideration request is pretty much useless, I mean even if you are lucky enough to get it back, you probably won't be confident to move on with that domain, which most likely may have been within Google's first target in the future's update, so I personally think a better move would be to move things over to a new aged domain.

Hey Jet,

Thanks for your tip. Now the thing is this site has already been 301'd from a previous site of mine. I created the old site as a small niche site promoting 1 product only 18 months back.

Then after 1 yr, after I realize that such a thin site would not be worth in the long run, so I bought this branded domain and 301'd the site thin site to this new site (which got deindexed now), because I had a long term vision to build an authority site.

Strangely though, that old domain is still in google's index, while the new one is gone...

Would you still suggest, I go for another 301 redirect here to another domain?

Would be grateful if you suggest a thing here.

Thanks,
Aviroop

When you say "branded domain" do you mean that the domain name contains the brand name of some product or just that you are trying to create your own brand and it is not a EMD?

No Mike, it is my OWN brand name, which I was trying to build through all social media FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube and I was going great with the response from google itself, with many page 1 rankings...

That is the reason I am utterly surprised what went wrong, as per the seo fraternity, this is where google is heading... i.e. branded authority sites...

This was not a brand name of some product or a EMD...

Even I have got all branded web2.0 properties in place for this site of mine. Everything was built in a way to build the brand only.

Just can't get any clue whatsoever, other than the 301 redirects that I had in place from the old site, which was actually a EMD, even the redirects have been 6 months old now.

God knows!!!

Google can randomly deindex you and the sad part is that it doesn't matter if its an authority site or a MFA site. The best thing to do is to play the game knowing Google can knock you out are any moment.

I have come to learn that this is not a BUSINESS. Mainly because Google tends to be unreachable and incredibly unfair towards Imers.

Without wanting to stick up for Google, you have to look at it from their point of view. They are trying to be fair to users of their various tools and services by stopping the people who abuse those tools and services for financial gain and waste their bandwidth.

Use those tools and services they way they are intended and there isn't a problem.

Robaski is right. If you got de-indexed, then you know what you were doing wrong. Period. Something that you shouldn't have been doing! LOL Simply the fact that you're looking to see if your site is indexed or not means something.... I would start over if I were you.

Google doesn't de-index at "random". There is always a reason for the de-index... and they are not unfair. It only seems like they're unfair because the majority of the IM world hasn't learned how to play their game correctly.

Also, if you don't think of this as a business, and adapt to changes in Google or in your market like most successful businesses do, then you are doomed to fail. Always. Attitude and the ability to adapt is what sets successful people apart from all of the rest.....

Yesterday, I got the webmaster tool message for the de-indexed site saying that some of my web pages are not following google guidelines.

Well, so here we are.... the message doesn't say anything about backlinks or suspicious links, but the pages or posts that I published on my blog.

This is strange, since I have only published 100% copyscape passed orginal articles on my blog. Not sure, what it meant that some of my content is not following google guidelines.

Did any of you get webmaster message like this in regard to your site content before?

Has this website ever been in Google Webmaster tools? If so, what does it say now?

Next, check your site command in Google and make sure no pages are returned.

After that, check your server log files and see if Google bot is still visiting.

If no pages are indexed and Googlebot has abruptly stopped visiting, you can be sure your website has been banned. If that's the case, you have to request reinclusion through Google webmaster tools.

If those two conditions are not met, then we can look further and suspect a webmastering/web hosting error may have caused the issue.

  Now you need to look for errors that could have prevented crawling.
  
  Make sure there are no 'noindex' tags present. Make sure your ROBOTS.TXT isn't blocking crawl access.
  
  And use a header checker to ensure your pages are returning a 200 and not something else.

The only other possibility I can think of is that there is somebody's else site on your ip or nearby Class C ips who have done something bad so that a Google staff decided to manually examine all the nearby sites to see whether they could be related to that owner. It is possible your site was hit in the crossfire. Perhaps they thought your site is a MFA site. A MFA site can still have completely original content.

Your best bet is to submit a reconsideration request. Otherwise I would mount a new domain and move on.

Did you actually spam? Alot of guys running around thinking they are innocent while actually massively article marketing or forum profile link type stuff....

I got my reinclusion request back.. wrote an article on it here:

But I found my site that had it's main KWs hammered was not manual penalty.. it was an automatic Penguin penalty... Google has claimed all auto-penalties expire.. manual penalties don't....

Figure out what you did (double 336 ad block with a 728 under it???) and stop it.. clean up your site... reinclusion request... see what they say... if it's links, analyze your profile.. remove your spam links.. do the same thing, belame your old SEO...etc

If Google specifically said there are pages that broke the guidelines, there should be. May be you chose to ignore it, but there would be some. Read the specific guidelines in this page and fix it before you apply for reinclusion:

If you can't find any, apply your friend / an expert to take a look at the site.
