Hey
I had two websites located on page 1 (last spot on page 1)...I transferred both of the website to new hosting. Its took me 3 days. In these days (the first one) g I got message from Goole that Google bot cant see my website.
I got the message On the first day and didn’t worry because I saw I still on first page...But three days later both of the website Disappeared!
Do you think there is a connection between the fact that the website wast active for 3 days or is it just a punishment that happens any way?
And if its because of the unavailable website....will my website going to be soonon the same place?
I try this "site:www.mysite.com"...and yes...I can see all the websites' pages!

    Your not being punished If Google told you they can't find your pages. If G can't find your pages, your not going to be ranked.

    Just because you see a site:domain of all your pages doesn't mean everything is ok, If the URLs are messed up on the site transfer (or whatever) it can take some time for G to remove the pages from the SERPs, especially If it's a large site.

    Is the new host dependable or is it some low budget host in Siberia?

    yukon - Thanks. The true is that after 2 days i gave up because I saw transfering the websites is taking too much time....so i change the dns again to the old hosting accont....and now nothing changed. Not the hosting and not the urls....like I said all this (unnecessary!) process took 3 days....and the websites are online from two days ago. What do you think now? Its a punishment?

    You changing DNS back & forth isn't Googles fault, they only crawl what they can find.

    Create new pages, build a few new quality links to get Google back on your pages so they can re-index.

    What's the Google Cache date on your Index page?

      The cached day is about 2-3 weeks ago for both websites.
      I also think...If Google bot didnt visit my website in the last 2-3 weeks how can he saw that the websites are not online?

        The Cache date & the date/time that Google bots crawl your page aren't always the same, that's easily proven by changing the page title, then compare the SERP Title & the same page Cache Page title. Still, the Cache date is usually a good indicator for how often Google is visiting your page. Usually when you see an older Cache date it's because Google hasn't found any changes made to the page (no reason to re-cache).

        Try this, edit the page title & add some new text at the end of the page title. This way you'll easily be able to look at your page in the SERPs & see that the SERP title has been changed, which means Google has recently crawled your page.

        If your current page title is (example) <title>Auto Insurance</title>, then do something like this <title>Auto Insurance 1</title>. You can always remove the number 1 after you see it showing up in the SERP title.

        If you was ranking the page in the past, be careful & don't change too much on the page, personally I would just edit the page title, that gives you visual proof in the SERPs that Google has crawled your pages recently.

      There's a difference between the two.

      Try the <title> test I posted above on an Index page that gets cached frequently, then try the same test on an internal page that doesn't have the cache date change very often, watch both pages in the SERPs. Both pages SERP title should get updated but the cache date on the internal page that doesn't get re-cached very often could (not always) stay the same. I've seen it happen plenty of times.

      You could probably test the page title on this forum thread (edit your OP thread title) then compare the SERP title to the cache. Not saying it's guaranteed to be different but it's defiantly possible.

    I have found that the slightest content update makes my site drop pages on Google?? Is this correct?
