One of my sites is about 7 months old, a couple thousand backlinks (many with decent PR) optimized and generally actively promoted. It was crawled frequently by google but never indexed. Then google stopped crawling it back in the end of may and hasn't been back for a crawl. Needless to say it still isn't indexed. Another site is an one month old blog. I wrote two posts. Did nothing else and I mean nothing else. It's indexed. Both sites are newly registered. The first must be banned right?
Try "site:yoursite.com" command in Google. If your homepage does not show up(at least) then it is banned.
post your url and we can look at the site and help you...the last guy who thought his site was banned had a bad robots file that was telling the spiders not to crawl his site....that might not be the problem you are having but we can't give a proper answer until we see the site
I have had plenty of sites been crawled without indexed. If you put it in your sig then it should get indexed. If it still doesn't get indexed then yes, it probably is banned.
I've checked the robots file and plus it's been crawled in the past, many times in fact. It makes sense though, if it is banned, because I tried a few things that, at the time, I did not know were sins according to "The Book of Google". I have since corrected my transgressions and I guess I'll just file a re-inclusion request i.e. groveling and kissing the feet of all mighty Google. Can it hurt to file the re-inclusion if it is the case that it is not banned but has simply not been indexed?
That would do it. Anything other than "natural" link building can disqualify any benefit you get from gathering so many links. And according to Google "natural" does not including link buying or any other form of your gathering links other than having such good quality information that people want to link to your site without asking.
That's not it exactly. It's just my first website and I'm not exactly proud of it. It's nothing to be ashamed of really, just another credit card website. That's just how I am, I don't like people (who know what to look for) seeing something I'm doing until I have more of a mastery over it. That's all. So again back to my question, if I've fixed the problems according to Google's webmaster guidelines, will it hurt to request a re-inclusion if it hasn't been banned but just hasn't been indexed?
did you apply any black seo to your site? and i also want to know your url too. it will help us to make comment
alright alright here, I might as well get a lousy anchor out of it. Credit Card Applications I wouldn't say black hat, but maybe gray hat before I knew any better. I had a common misspelling of creditcards.com registered and redirected to my url. And for a short time I had text with the same color as the background, before I knew better of course.
