UNBELIEVABLE - Site has not been indexed in 2 months!

I have a site with a ton of content which is not, for the life or me, being indexed by google. It has been online for 2 months, has tons of backlinks, and ranks VERY well in yahoo.

I suspect that the site has been banned from google in the past, and therefore is just not being indexed.

My question is, should I just start a new site, different url, but use the content I have on the exisiting site?

I don't care if it is not picked up by yahoo, as the existing site has plenty of serps. It just WILL NOT get indexed by google, I have tried everything.

You think this would work?

Thanks guys and gals.

Robert

    Are you using WordPress? Just wondering. I had a case where a default install of WordPress blocked the search engines.

    Did you check to see if there are backlinks going to that domain from shady places? Possibly prior to you obtaining it something was done to get it de-indexed by google as you mentioned.

    Might want to try requesting reconsideration in webmaster tools. Just explain the situation in as much detail as you can.

    It is not that hard to get indexed. I would say your suspicions could be right on, especially if you bought a used domain name.

    I would get a new URL and ad the content you have.

    After I make a wordpress site, I turn on access to the search engines and install google analytics. I usually get indexed within 2 days. If you have tried simple stuff like that you may have a bigger problem like the others noted.

    That happened to me with a domain once and it wasn't even an expiring domain! I had registered it "new" (or so I thought) and it never got indexed.

    About a month or so later, I checked it at Internet Archive: Wayback Machine and sure enough it had been owned once before and must have been banned!

    I did move the content to another site and that one got indexed fine.

      Cool, yeah i checked wayback machine and it never seemed to have been ranked.

      I think I'm gonna take yours and other reccomendations and just buy a new url and paste all the content there.

      Thanks alot everyone for your help!
