Wow I thought it was just taking time to get index but my mortgage site (in my sig) is NOT listed at all in google. It has been built up for about a month and was steady getting about 100 or so UV a day (from previous site as this is a aftermarket domain).

So I was doing good in adsense av $6-7 a day and then started to bookmark, web 2.0 etc....everyday I check google just for my domain and nothing? Hmmmmm so now the ONLY things that show up about my site are the bookmarks and such I outsourced. When will google let loose my info to be indexed?

Also the last 4-5 days adsense has been $0.00!!!!!!!! Im set up with Webmaster Tools but how do I advise google to let me loose

HELP!!!!

    I agree, it may just be a "google dance" Be patient, it may come back. Keep working on it or another project.

      My website is the same way. Google just takes a while to get it together - kind of how Alexa only completely updates all statistics quarterly. You should be able to find your site on google by googling "yoursite.com," but if you don't, I suggest using webmaster tools to submit a sitemap and have it crawled. That will at least get some parts of your site indexed.

        I dont have a sitemap but when I do the site:url nothing appears....this sucks since I done so much seo to it and nothing to show for it. How long can I be "dancing" with google?

        Why are you waiting for google to "get it together" ? They have nothing of mine to
        get together. Google can do what they want, when they want, how they want.

        It's all about getting yourself together.

    I see my alexa jumping around every day, every day it has a new number, either smaller or bigger.

    I think that we need to sticky a post with an all caps title that reads THERE IS NO GOOGLE SANDBOX! THE SANDBOX DOESN'T EXIST! There's at least one of these posts every few days... sometimes more...

        I'm not sure what kind of SEO practices you engaged in but Google doesn't just punt sites for no reason from its index. Did you violate the Google Webmaster Guidelines at all? Any questionable SEO tactics?

          I am not sure how true this is. All my sites recently got de-indexed. One by one they disappeared for about a week then suddenly returned to their normal position. No reason they got de-indexed and no reason why they suddenly came back.

    It does look like your site has vanished from Google.
    Have you purchased any site wide links lately?

    I see a lot of your backlinks are blog comments. Did you hire someone to do this?
    Any types of questionable activity in your link development?

    Does webmaster tools give you any info?

    yes, I am....

      Since I dont have a sitemap webmaster tools just list my backlinks and keywords etc....Yea I outsourced tons of web 2.0 bookmarks, blogs, directories etc, Links appear in Google but not my acutal site. In Yahoo for my domain of course im on page 1 though.

      What the hell gives AND will it just show up out of the blue one day?

    Can you give more details as to what you were doing? How many links / day? Identical anchor text? Interlinking between sites on the same IP? Link wheels? Using automation software? Buying links? Invisible text? etc
    Sounds like 'the dance' if they are dropping out and coming back. You might be going at it a bit hard, that's all. I took a look - so the site has only been up for a month you say? I'm seeing 1,343 links in Yahoo site explorer. How many of your links are to the inner pages?
    As I'm sure you know, mortgage (+ other popular phrases containing the word) is a super tough keyword as it's one of the top payers in Adsense - also you're up against some hardcore SEO competition. Also bear in mind that new sites are often inflated for the first few weeks in google before dropping down to a more "realistic" level. I've seen this with sites of mine also and the initial flurry of google traffic seems to evaporate, leaving you to build it up again from the ground (which works, over time).
    As with above, I'd suggest also working on another project. Or even adding more content. I'm sure this ain't your first Rodeo.. but does no harm to have other sites on other hosts, even with other revenue streams that are effectively completely independent. Building an entire income off of Adsense is risky, chain weakest link bla bla.

      Hi,

      One of my sites has not been found using regular keyword since last Sunday. I experienced it with my other sites, but I was generally out for only a day or two. All of my sites are used through the same host and use the Addon Domain tool. I also have matching backlinks along the sidebar for each of my sites. I, at first, believed that google did not like my SEO practicies, but why only hurt one of my sites and not the others?

      Thanks!

        My webmaster never added a robots.txt I imagine....Is that one of the problems?

        Yes I did all the lins and boomarks via outsourcing.......Timeline for ME and the domain...

        Bought the domain on the aftermarket very very cheap..Parked it for about a week and noticed it was getting about 125 hits a day...not a penny from parking so had my wife (webmaster) put up a very simple template with adsense....In about a week I was doing almost $50 and then a few more weeks avg $6=7 a day...Once we rebuilt the site I went hard with Profile links, bookmarks, web 2.0 links but I think maybe my mistake was it was all directed to the main page.

        Now even before the "new" site went up I never did see my main domain come up in google for the keyword. So im not sure if even before buying the domain if there was a problem but traffic was there from previous owner. So now as you read im stuck in no listing hell and not sure when if ever it will come back!

    My new dating site has been sandboxed forever. I guess the more competitive the niche the longer it takes.
