The same with me. Every page is unique and updated. All SEO rules have been followed. It is really irritating!
OK, just got an email back from Google...I need a "Google" sitemap. The problem is I am not all technical so when they say I my site needs to have python whatever I get completely confused! Anyone know how I can find out if the python thing goes with my site?
python is a programing language "similar" with perl or php if you want i can help you create sitemap for your site.
i have a site (2 months old) with over 15k pages... somehow, with or without google sitemaps, my indexed pages are fluctuating. maybe i just need to wait more time
Pretronel, I already have sitemaps, I just needed to "verify" them...still I don't think that is why they dropped my pages.
One of my largest sites got its pages largely allocated to supplemental in May-June and it has happened again starting 6 days ago. I don't know why this has happened, but it took about 1 month of elapsed time to recover last time. I didn't do anything to try and counteract it--the site came back progressively over about 30 days. I wish I could get a better handle on why this is happening, so I could do something about it. Mark
The sites that were affected for us already have Google sitemaps, and the pages are laid out for easy indexing even if we didn't have a sitemap. It's only been a day since the sups came back, so I'll just continue to play the waiting game and keep my fingers crossed.
Well, I created a new website and changed some things up...hopefully Google will dig it. Take a look and please let me know what you think.
There was a problem on the 17th August with the site: command showing supplemental results for thousands (if not millions) of websites. If you try and find a page with supplemental results in the search results, you'll see its there and searchable. At this stage it justs looks like another technical problem with the site: command because even Google has got supplemental results!
yes all the datacenter are now back to normal unfortunately that means that my pages droped again from 1000 to 350 as it was bore 17 August
Actually pages being dropped from the index is a common complaint by site owners. The latest update by G was very kind to our customers. Actually everyone's PR (which really is meaningless seo wise) and more importantly their content pages increased in total numbers cached. More times than not there's an obvious reason for the pages dropping out of the serps... you just need to know where to look.
