Hi I believe Google banned my blog at www.greenearthcommunity.com and I don't know why (although I suspect it has to do with duplicate RSS content and/or bad backlinks). I have 2 other domain names that I have available; one is brand new and the other is over 5 years old but a paid ebook site currently resides at the 5 year old domain and with no real SEO presence at this time. I was told it may be easier to abandon the greenearthcommunity.com blog and start a new one because aged domains are valuable so my question is: Should I abandon my old blog domain and use the 5 year old domain name for my new blog (as it may result in easier indexing) and move the current paid ebook site over to the brand new domain name? SEE BELOW: greenearthcommunity.com - banned-by Google, abandon greenenergyhome.com - domain 5 years old, switch to new blog to replace greenearthcommunity greenearthgirl.com -new domain, use to replace current greenenergyhome.com content Thank-you for any comments teresa
I have investigated why your site greenearthcommunity.com has been banned. It is weird for me in the first time I saw. The site looking fo comprehensive one with clean and neat layout. The site is common Wordpress blog and when I view through source code line by line I found nothing wrong with it. However, after looking for a while I found the main reason for your site banning. Your site is a scraped one. You do using automate script to retrieve content from other people sites as I looked through many of your articles. I do assume your site has non-original content created by yourself at all. This is the main reason why your got banned and de-indexed. If I were you in this case I would use greenenergyhome.com as a replacement. However, if you are going to do the same way then the banning will come along together. I would recommend you to create a couple of original contents from the beginning. You should avoid 301 redirect from the banned domain to the new one too, it could harm more than help.
HI What happened was when I started the blog I did get content from an RSS feed but then stopped it and as you can see the last 2 pages are original articles that I paid for. I was wondering if I deleted most of the blog entries except for the original articles would Google un-ban the site? Is it worth taking out all the entries to get the site re-indexed? thanks teresa
This will not work until you send Google a re-inclusion request. Google will have to check your site manually before took your site name from their blacklisted.
You seem to have "content duplication". Google hates copied content, you would not be indexed. Dont use the automatic content copiers/ generators, and having a new domain to do the same would not help you either.
I think you might be getting the idea of what exactly you have done wrong to get the earlier site banned. So do rectify it and send a request to google for re-instating your blog. I had this same problem where my blog was banned, however the reason for banning was different. Still I could get the blog after continuously contacting google for the same for a period of one month.
Since you are anyway looking to improve by having only original content, you can go ahead and request google for a re-inclusion. However if you are not willing to wait for long, you surely can shift your efforts on your 5 year domain which is anyway lying idle. Take care not to carry the same filth on the new domain and instead, start it with fresh content! Regards, RightMan
Greetings in peace, in divine love and light, In my opinion it is very difficult to be black listed by Google search engine unless we in our parts have violeted the terms and condition for web indexing set by Google. In many cases the main reason why a website banned or black listed would be the unintentionally duplicate content or article from other website unless a proper credition to the owner is mentioned or the owner had posted some of his or her own words in particular article that posted in our website. Furthermore, by deleting the post or the excerp is not gurante that your website would be re-indexed again. Nevertheless, in some cases page re-indexing still possible but your have to work very hard. You need to write a good and unique article that can draw visitors to your site or get a back link for what you have done. Write something new that maybe others do not write. However, this way will take a long wait until your website earn a clean name. I always believe in possiblity as there is nothing impossible. In fact, there is no way to be a winner unless we are willing to go through and master all the difficulties in life. Similarly, in this regards you can continue you current site although its banned. Your site is considered to be well known therefore if you abandon it will be a great lose. Therefore, this is just my suggestion lets start the new contains, write a brand new idea, re-decorates the old house with new things. In fact, the indexing is done by a machine therefore if you could bring something new to your website content the visitor of you site would over write the machine determinism as the machine determinism rules is set by man. In peace, in divine love and light.
I did not know at the time that using an RSS feed would be so damaging. I agree with the previous comment that it might be a good idea to do a re-inclusion once the bad posts are gone and not to abandon the blog but I have to look at the time and effort and expense involved in maintaining a blog that Google will not index. I only have so much time and money and is it really worth it to invest more of this on a blog that Google will not index or which may take a very long time to index again? All the comments above have been very helpful but the decision still remains to keep the blog or start new with a indexed aged domain? Teresa
Dear friend, Once again greetings in peace, in divine love and light. In my opinion by using RSS feed do not bring any damage to our site. In fact, its improve the readibility of the site. There are many factors that may cause your site to be not index and one of the killer would be duplicate content from other site. If I as you I will definetely work to rebuilt the site. In fact, the name - greenearthcomunity is something unique and has its own commersial value. I could see if you write something unique or buy an article to start the site again for a better reputation than you will be surprise that you site would come alive again. Therefore, I would like to suggest you to keep it while maintaning other site as well. Post your own article or hire someone to write an article according to the purpose of the site.
