Hey guys,

One of my sites is now 3 weeks old but still not get indexed. I've been continuously building backlinks to homepage as well as internal pages, basically they are all web 2.0 properties with 50%+ unique spun content +social bookmarking + rss submit, and some of them already get indexed.

I don't understand, I've done nothing close to spam-related backlinks, how come google only index some of these backlinks while none of my main site pages showing up.

I've experienced way faster speed as to my other sites, just don't know why. What possibly could go wrong?

    Sorry, but I don't think you can claim not doing spam-related backlinks.

    Anyway, it's possible that you bought a bad domain. You should check up on that and if it was banned by a previous owner, try doing a reconsideration request and let Google know that you are a new owner.

      How do I know if a domain is banned or not before I buy it? I did notice that the domain has been used before after checking whois history.
      And what can I do to let google re-index it?

    Is your site just not ranking or is it really not indexed? There is a difference.

    You might want to check it here. I bought a .info domain and it appeared to have some sort of penalties. Filed reconsideration and was rejected due to violation of their guidelines. I guess I didn't upload enough content and filed too soon.

      I've checked but nothing shows up.
      I'm confused, everything looks fine. Really don't know why google just ignore my site...

    If that's the case might as well file reconsideration request. 3 weeks is way too long.

    OK, now I've submitted the site using google webmaster tools and will wait for several days to see what will happen.

    You can try Google's webmasters tools and submit your site map.

    First of all check how many pages of your websites are into Google's index... Are you home pages indexed?

    Second things, how competitive your homepage keywords are? If they are very competitive, they might take sometime to climb the rankings.

    Just keep up your work and keep monitoring your website.

      All original content, no duplicates.
      I've submitted sitemaps via webmaster tool, will send reconsideration request if still not get indexed tomorrow.
      I just hate it when you don't know what's wrong.

    OK, google told me that my site "violates Google's quality guidelines" without telling me what exactly it is.
    For a site with no ads / affiliate links / duplicate contents / malware, what could be the reason for this?
