Well, it has been a struggle for me to understand search engines, especially Google. I have a site that has 350,000 alexa rank and it has none of its pages indexed, not even the site itself. Then, I have a site that isn't even released to the public yet, and it is in google? wtf? Jeshil.com - Tinguj.net I thought backlinks brought attention to google. Jeshil.com has a lot of backlinks, while tinguj.net has only 1, and thats from a site that shows when the domain was bought. double u tee eff?
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch?p=http://jeshil.com&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=u 30 isnt that many backlinks as most of them is from DP. As for links, search engines are now more focused on quality of links rather than quantity. Just continue to build good content on your site and get some links to your site that is related.
I am agree with XENYO 30-40 is not a good numer to say "a lot of back links". Try to get morelinks & links from ur relevant site helps to to get top on SERP. Try to put more content & refresh them time to time. Write unique title & description for every pages, No doubt ur site will be on top. Thanks Day Kevi
If a domain has PR (which yours does) and is not indexed (which yours isn't) then there is a chance that it has been banned. Might want to try a re-inclusion request. -Michael
I'm showing both of those sites in your sig as indexed in google. As stated by everyone else - get way more backlinks.
Stupid newbie question: Michael (or anyone else), how can you tell the domain has a PR ? Are you using the pagerank from google toolbar that only gets updated 3-4 times/yr, or is there another method? Thanks.
I have to agree, 30-40 backlinks is nothing these days. Try and get at least 100 ontopic links and go from there.
I was talking about the toolbar. The fact that it only does get updated periodically is what allows a site to get banned/deindexed, but still show PR. The green stays there until the next PR update even when a site is banned. The fact that the green bar is there, though, shows that at one time Google counted that domain. Google obviously knew about that site last update. It's not indexed now, but Google did update the backlinks, hence the PR. Btw, Erind, this can also happen if you bought the domain from someone else, or purchased it expired. If G catches on that a domain is expired (even if it was parked on a template), then it can take some time for it to re-index that page. It might lose the current PR before that happens if that's the case. -Michael
