We have an interesting problem...an old friend of mine built our personal website for us, with many thanks, he did a wonderful job. The problem is that he built the ecommerce part by duplicating his site and editing the data. Google came for a little look and see while he was half way through this process and now we are turning up on the SERPs for all the wrong reasons...any suggestions?

    I may just be really dense this early in the morning but I really have no clue why they would crawl your site and still gather his information unless there is still data there? Let me have some coffee then I'll come back in a bit lol

      I need my coffee to function too

      It looks like they didn't take the site offline whilst he was modifying the data, and I'm assuming Google spidered his site when it was half baby / half naughty...

          If you website has been completely updated, i would recommend social bookmarking and commenting on few dofollow blogs. Once the bots crawl your website again, it will index the new data. This may take few days but slowly but surely it will get updated. Also generate a new sitemap and submit it to Google.

          Hope that helps!

    just do a social bookmark and you will get crawled again and hopefully google will update the data. Use digg.com and Mixx.com for fast crawling.

    I think so you need to make more and more backlinks at the moment so that google crawl it again and you get on the top. Also bookmarking is a good idea if you can do it specially on top PR social bookmarking sites like digg, mixx, stumbleupon, reddit etc. as they are really good when it comes to fast crawling.
    Thanks

    Usually your site will be crawled again within 30 days if it isn't too big. If it is a large site then your pages will be crawled on a rotating basis and it takes longer for your lower pages to be cached again. Be patient and by next month the problem should be corrected.

    One thing you can do is get some links to your inner pages and that will cause Google to take another look at those pages which could ripple through your site a bit faster.

    I read an article says google dance (revise of PR for web page) happens once every 3 months but I can't confirm that.

    If google does revise every 3 months, pls do let me know.
    cheers.

      I would imagine that with a problem like that, your traffic
      must be quite good. It would be good to funnel some of
      that. Porn sells. But seriously, are you saying that your
      site is out SERPing the original? Talk about duplicate
      content. That would blow that theory out of the water
      to have 2 identical sites (according to you if your site
      was indeed a duplicate of the first), and the new one
      showing up. This guy must be mad at your site showing
      up instead of his. But, yeah, too late and I may need
      coffee as well. I'm also not sure why someone would
      not do stuff offline before going live. But,...

    Thanks everyone! Well, I got really busy, social bookmarking, blog commenting, social networking, twittering. I also generated a sitemap and submitted it to google. And it worked - they came around and now the correct pages are coming up which is great.

    I realised now though that there are some pages lurking around in the background still, I need to get rid of them obviously but how do I get them out of googles cache?

    And yes, next time I get anything done to my site I will tell them to take it offline - they should have known that, it has cost us dearly.
