Confused - Google PR4 But Not Indexed???

    http://www.outblogger.com

    Google is showing a PR4 for the site but it does not appear in google results at all that I can tell.

    A search for "outblogger" yields some 1700 results all of which purport to be links to this site, but still not outblogger.com listing.

    Any ideas? I'm absolutely confused on this one...

    A bit contradictory compared to your post title which says 'Not Indexed' and you are saying that its not in SERPs :rolleyes:

    The site is in google's index. How long the site is live ?

    Sorry, am I missing something, the site is not appearing in search results by "outblogger" or by "outblogger.com" or by "site:eek:utblogger.com" that I can tell.

    It's a relatively new site.

    Do check how many of your inbound links are having 'outblogger' in it.. I am seeing other sites in SERPs which have a subdomain of outblogger.com in it.

    When i see your site with the help of mcdar datacenter tool it appears on every datacenter.

    Must be a temporary glitch.

    Wait for a day and things may be normal

    There are plenty of results in the set which have links to http://www.outblogger.com.

    Also, every site on subdomain pages (free blogs) has a link to http://www.outblogger.com on that page.

    I guess the confusion is that the site has a PR already according to the google tool bar (that was not the case a month or so ago) but it still can't readily be found in the index.

    Any ideas why that might be?

    It's been like this for weeks (with a PR and not discovable in the index).

    It's had sites with links to it indexed and returned in searches for "outblogger" for months.

    I figure if its somehow banned, it would have no PR...???

    I have not yet done a sitemap.

    I will probably write a PHP script tomorrow or over the weekend to do a sitemap and maybe that'll help?

    Just an update here...

    I did 2 things:

    1. Submitted a sitemap for http://www.outblogger.com/content and added both http://www.outblogger.com/content and http://www.outblogger.com in the sitemap area.

    2. I went ahead and submitted a reinclusion request just in case it had been excluded.

    Today, a week later (I check daily), outblogger.com is showing up in the google index (it doesn't show in site:eek:utblogger.com and sitemap admin says its not in the index, but when I search for "outblogger" I get our home page, one of our blogs and the content directory in the result(s)).

    I just wanted to udpate anyone who was experiecing similar.

    Results 1 - 10 of about 98 from site:eek:utblogger.com

    Which means that you are getting listed by google.

    This was the date which one of your urls got indexed by the bot.
    14 Aug 2006 05:03:17 GMT.
    Its pretty recent and therefore you dont have to worry about being penalized. If you were penalized this date would have been e.g. more than 3-4 months old.

    However at the same time its strange how little pages you have indexed. Maybe its because of the fact that your content is 100% duplicate.

    Cheers

    Yes... well, searches for "outblogger" have been returning hundreds of results (sites that link to me) for months, but until recently none of outblogger.com itself was indexed.

    OutBlogger.com sported a PR4 for almost a month before the 1st page appeared in the google index.

    The blog site is largely unique content. The article directories (as are most article directories) contains a lot of duplicated content. That is the nature of article directories. I am aware that those pages will probably be largely discounted. I am even considering putting them in exclusions in robots.txt. The purpose of those directories are more so to provide people content to put on their blogs should they choose (I'll have a 1 click add in the near future) and are not so much an attempt at getting indexed pages or traffic.

    In either case, I seem to be getting crawled at a steady pace (about 300 or so pages per day) and the number of indexed pages is slowly crawling.

    I have a plan in place in the upcoming weeks to really push activity to the free blog site. It may take a little while to build momentum, but it gets steady traffic already, just not many active users.
