Ive had http://www.press-start.net for about 4 months now but google still hasn't found it, I've tried submitting the url to google through their add url page but it never gets accepted, my site is listed on dmoz, it comes up on msn search and yahoo search but it doesn't get a single result on google. Is it possible that google have banned the url after one of the previous owners misused it or something?
According to alexa toolbar the page has 0 pagerank, also I clicked on the Backlinks link and google returned no results. I guess I'll have to contact google. Thanks for the help.
Does alexa show u Google pagerank? It would be the traffic ranking... Check in other tools too. http://www.searchenginegenie.com/banned-site-checker.php This shows : Your Site Is Not Yet Crawled In Google.or Your Site Is Banned In Google
Hmm. Check your robots.txt. Your last line needs to have an extra '/ before admin.php and a new-line at the end: User-agent: * Disallow: /admin Disallow: /functions Disallow: /skins Disallow: /templates Disallow: /useruploads Disallow: /admin.php Code (markup): Have you checked your log files? Is the googlebot coming to visit your site. I can recommend signing up to Google Sitemaps. Even if you don't submit a sitemap, it can give you some very valuable diagnostics from when it crawls your site. Also, validate your HTML source. The googlebot may be struggling to deal with the 520 errors that exist on that page. Hope that helps... Cryo.
The googlebot does visit the site and I'm signed up to google sitemaps, Im shocked at how many errors there are on the page, thanks a lot for pointing it out.
Really strange, your homepage has PR1 .. almost all of your pages cached by google http://72.14.203.104/search?sourcei...=cache:http://www.press-start.net/juegos.html But site: command shows noting If Google really visit your site on daily basis then most likley it is not banned Would you tell us about the history of the domain
I don't know much about it really, I bought the site in early May just before the E3 games conference and used Joomla CMS for a while before switching to a paid cms about 2 months ago. Using the wayback machine I can see it used to be a band's website: http://web.archive.org/web/20010515231745/http://www.press-start.net/ A nintendo fansite: http://web.archive.org/web/20030206100451/http://press-start.net/ And some kind of directory (probably the one that got the domain banned): http://web.archive.org/web/20040203161814/http://press-start.net/
You most likely need to fix the coding and robots.txt errors. Send a reiinclusionrequest to google. Work on obtaining bl's but not too rapidly.
