As some of you may remember, I purchased the directory www.flexengine.com from honey: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=21804 Shortly after the purchase, the site was mostly de-indexed by Google. Honey help me add an RSS feed to the site, but that has not had much of an impact. Is there anything I can do to get things re-indexed? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I am sorry but does your site offer anything the internet does not already have? Maybe the question you need to ask is why should google index you rather than why doesn't it, once you answer that then you can move forward.
That was a great display of manners but unfortunately it doesn't actually address the question so I'm still searching for the point of your post, other than that you felt a little ornery? In any case I highly doubt Google looks at sites and says "hey... that site doesn't contribute to the net. Let's not list it!". So anyone have any actual helpful comments?
OK sure... The site is indexed. You have nothing to worry about. Whatever you're doing keep on doing it. That good?
George you know exactly what I meant so there was no need for having a go at me, if this guy threw up or bought a copy of your site would you show as much compassion?
No need to step on each other's toes... lot of room here. Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology. If you do a site:www.flexengine.com command in Google and look at the results, you'll see that about 90% of the pages aren't cached in Google. And there are a lot of supplemental results. Regarding sji2671's comments, to a certain extent what you say is true, but: (i) there are a lot of other directories out there and this is not happening to them; and (ii) I just bought the site - I had plans to add a lot to it. However, if Google's not caching my pages, I'm hesitant to put a lot of effort and money into it.
Submit your feed to all the blog engines, myYahoo and all the other places you can think of... Google isn't the only source of traffic.
I would also put a description in the <head> that varies for each page and make sure you have some deep links inside the site.
ok, here is a thought since everyone else is ignoring your question. Wait, Google will see that you have made changes, and depending on your PR, it will take a bit of time before Google does a complete update for you. But they will, however, if you make radical changes, you are going to drop into the sandbox. I got the same problem, I accidently let session IDs on my site and have 70000 pages indext by Google instead of 3000. I neeed a complete reindexing to take that down to 3000.
hey I have seen a lot of indexed pages (38.600) in google from your site How you can say that is not indexed?
