Why Build If Google Wont Index You???

9 replies
I dont know WHAT the hell is going on but lately a LOT of my domains that were once indexed are now not even showing up. I have 3 semi major sites I built in the last 30 days and 1 has dropped off the face of the map and when I check others that I thought were doing ok they are not even showing up.

They are in Yahoo but really who cares. So then I ask myself....Why continue to build sites if google is not going to index them?

How do you get around this? I have the major one in webmaster tools and asked them to review it to be indexed but what happend to the ones from last year???

Does it make a diffrence that ALL my domains with content of some sort (maybe 75 total) are all hosted under the same IP at Host Gator (in there baby package)

Im just trying to understand why google is doing this....Im to the point where im wasting time if it cant be found unless they type in direct or a backlink gets indexed..ARRGHH!

    you should typically not be putting all of your eggs in one basket, and not just concentrate on google SEO traffic, but on a variety of other marketing, such as
    -article marketing (resource box -> your site)
    -video marketing
    -ebook submissions
    -JV/ email marketing

    Google will give ups and downs in traffic, and indexing and sometimes is unpredictable.

    So you should continue to build sites and pages but try driving different sources of traffic to them, as mentioned above.

    As for just google indexing and ranking, well Yahoo and msn can also index them pages.

    But the main thing is 'dont just reply' on google traffic, but other methods too.

    I guess your talking about your ranking in the search engines, and not that your site were delisted?

    For new sites its totally normal for them to "float" in the results pages. You might be on page 1 one day, page 2 the next day, page 60 the next day, then page 100 the next day,,, then 2 weeks later your back on page 5,,,. Every site I have ever built has done this same exact thing.

    What I suggest - is that you sign up for a google webmaster tools account and keep track of your sites using that, instead of looking for it in the results pages.

    usually the backlink building has to be constant... and then there is the google dance... I agree with Matt.... you should find other ways of traffic....

    also consider PPV... they are still cheap

    Make sure you haven't done anything to your site that will get it kicked off I have had a site stop showing up and realized that I had done something wrong in googles spider eyes so when I changed it and asked for reconsideration my site came back so make sure thats not the reason

    Thanx all so far...my MAIN concern is the domain is not listed AT ALL..so its not that im not ranking on page 1,2,3 is that the domain is not indexed at all...When I do site:www... say no results found so that tells me the domain is not indexed. The only thing indexed is some web 2.0 links and a few articles.

      A few articles? Did you submit all of the articles you have on your site to article directories?

      In other words, do you have any original content on your site, that is found "only" on your site?

        Yes its original content and I did add it to a few article directories....but what has me going before I feel like going 110% back into marketing is the damn domain geting index. If it dont come up at all in a search why spend countless hours promoting it?

        It would be diffrent if I was on page 75 or so I would promote it BUT the domain is not listed PERIOD.

          So you posted the content on your site, and in article directories?

          What I'am trying to find out, is this a duplicate content issue? Did your site receive a penalty / get delisted because it has too much duplicate content on it?

          You posted an article on your site, and then you sent it to how many article sites?

          A little duplicate content is ok. But when a site reaches a high percentage of duplicate content - I have seen sites like that delisted and banned from google.

          Also, do you have a google webmaster tools?

    Google is changing. No longer can we spam $hitty social bookmarking links in mass to our crappy blogs and expect rankings

    I've found that not doing much link building at all seems to help. I think Google is getting very good at flagging and sandboxing sites that follow all these crazy linkbuilding strategies. Yes, you need links. No, you dont need many.

    Focus on building good links. Hard to get links. You honestly only need a few to rank well I think. I believe Google sees a new site with 1,000 social bookmarking links in the first month and instantly doesn't trust it.
