Yesterday google found site - today no results?

[vauge]

I have been on a massive campaign for backlinks - free directories etc... in the last month.

Site has been up sinse May. Still waiting for dmoz linkage.

Yesterday, when searching for my domain - Google found it. Woohoo!! I was so stoked!

Today, no results.

Any ideas?

[digitalpoint]

Google's index changes daily... it's normal for new sites to be in and out for awhile.

[vauge]

Wow, thanks for the quick response!

Recently(3+ weeks), I did several 'bulk' site additions to multiple search engines.

When I could opt out of google, I did. Because of possible multiple submissions to google could this have an effect as well?

[digitalpoint]

You don't need to submit to any search engines (including Google). Any search engine that has any chance of getting you a single user from their results will find your site automatically via links.

I don't think multiple submission cause this type of problem...only you need more links. :)

[maniac_dk]

Yes, you need lots of links to your site.

[Tid]

good unique content and links and more links. only submit to directories never to search engines. want spam? submit to sites claiming to include your site in 10,000 & more unknown/nooneuses se

I've got like 2,000+ hits from Googlebot but my ranking isn't particularly nice. To me, Google has its own way of ranking. Googlebot visiting your site does NOT mean you'll appear straight away. It also depends on your theme and keywords.

Yeh this sometimes happens. Just give it a few days

How Do I Get My Site Listed on Google?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Submit your URL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The basics

Google is a fully automated search engine, which employs robots known as 'spiders' to crawl the web on a monthly basis and find sites for inclusion in the Google index. Since this process does not involve human editors, it is NOT necessary to submit your site to Google in order to be included in our index. In fact, the vast majority of sites listed are not manually submitted for inclusion.

Google does not accept payment for inclusion of sites in our index, nor for improving the rank of sites in our results. We do offer adjacent to our results, which are always clearly labeled "Sponsored Links." The method by which we find pages and rank them as search results is determined by the PageRank technology developed by our founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

2. Submitting your site

We add thousands of new sites to our index each time we crawl the Web, but if you like, you may submit your URL as well. Submission is not necessary and does not guarantee inclusion in our index. Given the large number of sites submitting URLs, it's likely your pages will be found in an automatic crawl before they make it into our index through the URL submission form. We DO NOT add all submitted URLs to our index, and cannot predict when or if they will appear.

Please visit our "Add URL" page to input your URLs. You can submit your site as often as you like, but multiple submissions will not improve the likelihood of your site being added or accelerate the process. We do not penalize sites for 'over-submitting'. If you choose to submit your site, only the top-level domain is necessary, as the spiders will follow your internal links to all the rest of the pages.

The best way to ensure Google finds your site is for your page to be linked from lots of pages on other sites. Google's robots jump from page to page on the Web via hyperlinks, so the more sites that link to you, the more likely it is that we'll find you quickly.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. I've submitted my site to Google and it's still not listed. Why?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The 'Add URL' form didn't work.

Google finds sites through a process known as "crawling" the web. This involves robot software that follows hyperlinks from site to site. Google currently looks at more than 3 billion URL's during the crawl. The process may take several weeks to complete.

When a URL is submitted to Google, we look for it in our next crawl. If you've already submitted your URL, your site could easily appear in our new index, which will go up when the current crawl is completed. However, if no other site links to yours, it may be difficult for our crawler to find you. Conversely, if many sites link to your page, there is a good chance we will find you without your submitting your URL.

Occasionally, websites are not reachable when we try to crawl them because of network or hosting problems. When this happens, we retry multiple times, but if the site cannot be crawled, it will not be listed in our current index. If it was a transient problem, the site will likely show up in the next index, which will be completed in a few weeks.

If we have not picked up your site and it has been several months, then it is likely that our spiders are not able to find your site. If you increase the links pointing to the page, Google will likely find your site in the future.

2. What else can I do to get listed in Google?

If you are having difficulty getting listed in the Google index, you may want to consider submitting your site to Yahoo! or Netscape. You can submit to Yahoo! by visiting http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/. You can submit your site to Netscape's Open Directory Project (DMOZ) by visiting www.dmoz.org. Once your site is included in either of these directories, Google will often index your site within six to eight weeks.

To me, getting listed on first page of Google is probably the hardest thing to do.

It's not nearly as hard as stuffing a cat into a cat taxi...

[ranoo]

if you want to be spidered ina few minutes than place a code from google adsense and your site will be indexed very soon.

[minstrel]

No. The Adsense spider and the regular Googlebot are different...

[magicinfomedia]

this same thing happened to my client website its 20 pages were indexed by google but when yesterday i search it there was not a single page
can anybody help me out in this situatiuon a facing this first time

[minstrel]

When you do a Google search, you are diverted to different datacenters depending on server loads at that moment on the various datacenters. With a new site, freshly indexed, it may well be the case that it is indexed in one but not all of the datacenters. Consequently, you may well see new sites "dropping in and out" of Google searches as a function of which datacenter is being quereied. If you are indexed on one datacenter, in due course you will be found in all of them so just be patient.

[eiso]

Try using the google sitemap feature.

[minstrel]

Try using the google sitemap feature.
Have you seen any evidence that that will get a new site indexed more quickly? Spidered more quickly, perhaps... although I'm not even certain about that. From what I've seen, the main thing you may expect to get from a Google sitemap is a deeper crawl on certain sites, especially dynamic sites.

[eiso]

I got one site listed under 48 hours using just the G sitemap feature.

[minstrel]

Oh, really? And how do you know it was the Google sitemap that did it?

A lot of myths about Google are founded in supersitious behavior. This morning I have tea instead of my usual coffee. This evening I find I'm finally in the top 100 on Google.

Omigod! Drinking tea helps your Google ranking!

[webmistress]

Yeah, there's no evidence that G! sitemap is responsible for faster indexing.

P.S. Minstrel, can you give me the brand name of the tea please? I want top rankings too :p

[minstrel]

Twinings English Breakfast or Earl Gray :D

[webmistress]

I'm gonna drink it first thing in the morning and check my rankings between 2 sips...sure hope it works for me.

wish me luck :D

[minstrel]

luck......... :o
