Hi, Had a site on google for 12months now , name Totalodds.net The problem is, My site normally shows second on page 1 for "Total Odds" or "Totalodds" But since yesterday it no longer shows for these terms on any google page. But when i search site:totalodds.net or totalodds.net my index page show's first, so it's still on google. Do you think it's a temp thing, while the serps update? Anyone experienced this b4? L
It happens... the thing you have to do now is to try and improve your content.. and concentrate building some strong backlinks and your SERP's will improve sooner or later.. good luck..
How long will take..... just seems strange as my domain is Totalodds and it no longer shows for it on anypage.
it may take a day,month or a year.. we can't control it. Make sure all your pages are indexed in google.. if they are not indexed already, try to submit a sitemap..
In my experience when you don't rank for you unique domain name, you have a problem, usually in the form of a penalty.
with your well-maintained collection of some 163 errors, http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://totalodds.net/ you have to be VERY careful NOT to kill Googlebot !!! with such a huge error number one single minor modification may cause a fatal error/kill to G-bot. spend some time in quality / cleanup and learn proper clean coding before wasting too much time worrying about serps. clean code, proper SEO and interesting unique content will bring you SERPS+traffic. as an absolute and general rule: the faster G wants to be the more pages G wants to index within a given timeframe the more expense efficient G wants to be = the less error compensating code/SW G can afford in its bots and indexing/parsing SW !! error compensation such as in modern high end browsers made all page load / display SLOW and thus expensive. SE in modern times of global crisis are forced to go for speed/efficiency and CPU/RAM conscious. to MAKE and to MAINTAIN errors is expensive education helps - all is FREE available online for self-study.
I would not worry about that Validator tool if i was you, it's complete rubbish, according to that tool... http://www.google.com/ has : 61 errors http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...tomatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0&verbose=1 I must just be google playing games... there is no real answer anyone can give me.
there is a difference between G and YOU G are experts you ask for an expert to HELP you however if you know it better, then no need to waste any more seconds for your problem ... I safely assume you are a hardware engineer to know data flow in hardware and dataflow thru SW to make such expert statment. have fun
Yes because you are talking rubbish, it's nothing to do with Website errors, like i said the tool you provided states Google's homepage has 61 errors... Mmmm 61 erorrs? So when i ask for expert help, i mean from SEO people not Novices like you.
I would agree with lexiseek, if your domain has your keywords and you previously ranked quite high for this then you probably have a penalty. Try searching for a string that is unique in one of your indexed title tags, if it ranks over 50 and isn't competitive then you have a penalty imho!
i appreciate that one if you educate me a little more - you appear to KNOW exactly what you talk, but please ... could you provide your expert definition of - Novices and SEO people in terms of how many years/decades experience, how many top 10 serps achieved, how many xxxx $/months adsense, how many ?? to be SEO expert and no longer novice ? and if one day you fo0und your expert or have become one yourself, then you MAY ask the simple SEO related question what is the POSSIBLE effect on data flow and indexing of UNencoded & in text for the text following the Unencoded & .... you may then want to help your newly found SEO expert if the problem COULD/might be somehow remotely related to a ( meanwhile solved ) error that existed in the old thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=386
