My site will not show up in google search even when I type the exact URL in search

My site will not show up in google search even when I type the exact URL in search

This just started to happen to a few sites I own and can't figure why. Any ideas would be great.

thanks

site is furnacecleaning.info and audiobloc.com

 

Is furnacecleaning.info a brand new site? Because google has indexed your site and it showed up in a search for the domain name. But instead of showing the /index, some flash file was indexed. Which is common for new sites. It might take a few days, maybe a week or so for google to finally move the home page into place.

A search for audiobloc.com also showed the domain name.

Both sites are fine and are showing up in google.

 

furnace cleaning is pretty new abut three months, it was showing up on page one for my key words for the index page but not anymore. It has been off the front page for about 10 days now. Audiobloc.com has been up for about three years and always on the front page of google for my keywords but has been demoted for about two weeks now. I can't think of anything that I have done to anger the google gods.

Thanks for your help KEV

 

lol youll probably have to submit your site urls to search engines. Theres loads of free tools on the net that you can use to do this.

 

OP- Don't waste your time doing this. Google has openly stated that submitting your website to their search engine is pointless, because the crawler will pick up your website regardless.

I had one of my domains get crawled even before I built a single link to it. It had never been registered before either. How it got crawled I'm not exactly sure. But that shows that Google can find websites even with little information to work with.

 

Serp position do change a lot for new sites and so your first site losing position is not surprising. As regards to your second site, are you sure you did not do anything to annoy them? Do try and recollect your actions in the past couple of months and see if you did something unusual or it might simply be the case of more competition emerging for your keyword!

It will take a few days r weak,wait 4 that moment.and in these days you should submit ur url in different directories,for this u can use.... www.adurl.nu

 

I agree with RightMan, It could be that you have more competition on your specific keyword and they might be better optimized for that keyword then you are. You can check your competition by putting your specific keyword term in quotes and then watch the number of results returned at the top right hand side.

 

furnacecleaning.info is indexed by google.
but, as kev also said, it is showing the flash result.

Better change the flash with an image for a while until it's re-indexed by google..

 

u first need to submit your site in google database

 

Even for seeing the websites exact address as you type them into the Google search bar, the sites need to have some good links and being regarded as reliable sources.

 

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, we will make the changes to the flash portion and think if we have done anything different in regards to audiobloc.com but I can't think of any changes that we have made in the past few months.

 

www.audiobloc.com if i try to access using googlebot as my browser agent

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Code (markup):

i get access denied.

check your .htaccess file.

furnacecleaning.info is the same.


check your .htacces for anything looking similar to

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^google.*
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /$1 [F]

Code (markup):

or

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Google*" block_bad_bots
Deny from env=block_bad_bots

Code (markup):

 

Hi All,

thanks for the help so far.

I have checked with using the FF plugin, and the sites are returning 403 errors for bots


This is the .htaccess file for hooddoctors.ca currently, and I have tried several variations, all returning 403 errors for googlebot and the like.
The only rewrite rules in effect force the site to use "http://www." and remove the index.php from the homepage.


ErrorDocument 403 /index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php
<ifModule mod_php5.c>
php_value default_charset utf-8
</ifModule>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.hooddoctors.ca$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hooddoctors.ca/$1 [R,L]

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.hooddoctors.ca/$1 [R=301,L]

Is there a setting in server root cpanel that could be blocking the sites?
The robots.txt file also does not block googlebot etc.

Thanks

 

what is in the .htaccess of the root public_html in your main account ?
ie /home/username/public_html/.htaccess

are there any SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent lines there?

If nothing shows there that is wrong then it could be your webhost that is blocking it for some reason and you will need to contact them.

 

Hi,

our main Domain is audiobloc.com, and I checked it and didnt see anything resembling SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent in the .htaccess file.

I contacted Serverbeach and they said that the problem wasn't something that they couldn't help with.

I also tried to connect to the IP using the root cpanel username & Password but it wouldn't work.

 

Well if it is any hosted site and even the servers IP address blocked via useragent it might be better to post in the

Site & Server Administration asking how and why googlebot useragent would be blocked even at IP level.

If you have no direct access above cpanel ... ie it is a dedicated server or vps etc, then i would think it is something only your host will be able to fix.

 

Hi,

Ok so I was able to SSH into the server root.

I found the httpd.conf file, and it did contain several lines similar to
"SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Google*" deny_robot
So I removed them.

then I commited the changes using /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update

re generated the file, and made sure my changes were still there
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf

and still getting 403s with the user agent as googlebot


Any Ideas?

thanks again

 

Glad that you managed to find the lines in there, but for the changes to take affect you would need to reboot the server ?

As it was in the config files you would be better asking in the Site & Server Administration forum as it is above what i know my way around.... unless someone here has any ideas.

At least you know what area to look for the fault in.

 

Great, the reboot did it.

Thanks all for you help, I greatly appreciate it
