i put up a site (myuggboots.net) and it was indexed by google and i was getting traffic within 3 days of putting the site up. then the site stopped getting traffic and i did a "site:" and its not in the index anymore. i have a valid sitemap and everything...anyone know the issue?
Your site offers no unique content. It is a made for affiliate site. You offer nothing that can’t be found on Ebay, so Google has no reason to list your site. It is not an authority or provide anything unique!
i pulled it up by just placing the link in the google search box. You wont see the backlinks until probabl your first PR rating.....(3months from now)
Not true. We have content on almost every single page. This is unique content that I wrote myself and directly related to every single page. I have a bunch of sites just like this, and this is the only one i am having problems with. Yes, but it is still not "indexed" or receiving traffic. It was indexed for a couple days and receiving traffic, but now when I go to webmaster tools, it says it is not indexed.
ok. i will update this thread tomorrow. has anyone had this problem before? i.e. being indexed and then deindexed within the first week? (and i thought i was going to have another success affiliate site)
what am i looking at? .... i see a small section about ugg boots. have you seen all the pages of my site? they are all unique content. EDIT: I see what you're talking about. That paragraph i grabbed from wikipedia and is the ONLY dupe content on the site. should i remove it?
Content is King. Duplicate content is the post man. Duplicates of duplicate content is on the same level as a wanted criminal. Re-writing that paragraph - and any other paragraph you have on your site - shouldn't be too difficult. Remember, you need to get good quality links to attempt to stay and keep out of the sandbox with such a new site.
understood. you happened to find the one piece of dupe content on my site i will rewrite that paragraph, but other than that i shouldnt have any problems right? also, should i file a reinclusion request or wait a couple more days? on a side note: my rss scraper site (zero unique content) had a PR4 before the last update (PR 3 now) and is indexed with traffic (not much...but some)
Filing a reinclusion request this early in the game will surely flag something with Google that shows you're guilty of doing wrongdoings. PR does not relate to whether or not Google indexes a site or not. The PR side of things is irrelevant on that front. If google does index a site with duplicate content, if you search for a phrase from that content, the original content owners site will top the rankings, your site will be filtered and shown in 998,743rd place. Now you know why you get so little traffic, too
Is the fact that this scrapper site is sitting on my shared server with the rest of my sites affecting the other site's performance as well? Is one bad apple ruining the whole bunch?
Technically, the answer is yes. It has the same IP address, and will also be registered by the same person. Whether or not Google cares about the registrant is beyond speculation - but having all the sites on the same server could well be harming the other sites.
also, how do i know that moving a site to a different IP was successsful in helping the other sites being negatively affected by it? is there any other info you can give me on this? how bad sites affect other sites on the same server? thanks!
There's a fun game called The Guessing Game. It's where you don't know the answer and you keep guessing. It's a favourite among SEO guys
i would deindex it too...it just looks like optimized landing pages to get traffic and make money off affiliate programs
I found some very interesting things over DP, sites that I was trying to link from footer had been deindexed from google in the first days. Sometimes I had a feeling that somebody over here are walking thru our links and like a rat with any chance trying to send your site to google crew and I think google's crew doesn't have too much time to resolve those problems - so they just deindexed your site (specially if its a new site).
