site no longer indexed by google

hi,

my site has been online for about 18 months and starting to get better rankings in google, it was primarily a price comparison site at the root and then in "blog" directory i had a blog to increase keyword rich content.

it got to a point where i was getting better conversions from the blog than the comparison engine (in terms of affiliate commissions) so i decided to delete the comparison site and move the blog to the root so that it was the main focus of the site.

the site was down for a couple of days while i worked it all out and since being back on line it isn't being indexed by google.

my old indexed links are still cached in google as they still appear in searches, how long does it usually take google to refresh and pick up that my site has changed? i have resubmitted my sitemap.

any help appreciated, thanks.

PS my site is not spam and has quality content and to my knowledge i have never done anything that could be considered "blackhat".

 

Check it on google webmaster tool. If not submitted there, submit it and verify it. Google will tell you what went wrong.

 

sitemap submitted and webmaster tools say site is varified.

 

Go to Diagnostics (left sidebar)

 

yeah, there are some crawl errors, this is because i moved the website from /blog to the root directory. how long will it take for google to recognise changes or is there anything else i need to do.

do i need to do a 301 redirect even though it's still the same domain?

thanks

 

first solve that error make linking right and other HTML error make good also submit robots.txt file and yahoo, bing webmaster tool code it will be also helpful

try to submitting sitemap in google webmastertool

 

hi all, thanks for the responses to this post. i would like to clarify that i have been running this site for 18 months with no problems, it is varified by google, the sitemap has been submitted and indexed. my problem is that i have moved the site from the directory "/blog" to "root" so my urls have changed but are still on the same domain.

how long will it take for google to register these changes and update it's cache and start indexing new pages?

thanks again

 

If I were you, I could hav use the root for other related purposes (like store, directory, etc.) Anyway, since u did it already, redirect all urls of the blog's webpages to yur new URL(on root) after that, resubmit sitemap. Usually 1-2 days only. Pinging the site/blog helps too.

 

I guess google has sandbox your website. If you're website is just new don't try to flood it with hundreds of backlinks per day. Make sure to generate backlink in a very natural way.

 

website is 18 months old....

 

also consider to do some onpage seo first

 

thanks bartgatbsy. i know what your saying but i want to develop the blog at the root into a comlete website. i will look at doing a redirect and see if that helps.
