Hi all, I have a PR 5 website and or about a year, and the homepage used to be crawled every 1-3 days. For about 10 days, google stopped crawling the homepage and put an older cache (a cache about a month old). a link to search in Google returns 127 links. And there are many links (about 1000) that are PR 3 and lower. Also, i checked the PR5 sites that link to my site and their homepages are being crawled regularly. So I don't understand why my site is not being crawled. Anyone experiencing such a thing? May it be a spam penalty? I have no spam like activity on my site, but I'm not sure about. I have text navigation which are optmized, and also SEO is applied in all pages but a *clean* SEO. What may be the case? The only change i have made is purchasing a DNS service from another company and adjusting nameservers accordingly. May it be the case? MAybe Google cannot reach my site and crawl it. How can i make sure that Google is able to reach my site to crawl? Any idea/help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance.
Resolve to the same ip? c name set ? 301 redirect from non www to www active? If you can reach it G can - you can also go to a site that links to you and click! If it resolves G and others will find you. If you changed IP it is slightly different. M
[to digitalpoint shawn] no the ip addresses are the same. We changed only the dns server, but the ip address remained the same. [expat] yeah, resolve to the same ip. canonical name for www is active. --> If you can reach it G can - you can also go to a site that links to you and click! i couldn't understand this point. The link will work if my isp can resolve my site's ip. But what's the connection with from which site i clicked the link? Thanks everyone for their ideas. I still couldn't figured out what's happening
Sorry what I do to doublecheck is I go to the sites that link to my sites and simply click on the link to see if it still resolves in accordance with the anchor text etc. If I would type in http://yourdomain.com and than http://www.yourdomain.com would I arrive at two different sites? (usually one has pr the other hasn't) Http://yourdomain.com should idealy redirect to the www. domain. G has dropped large amounts of domains out of their "same domain" db which so far was relatively reliable. M
I use www.dnsreport.com to see if I have any nameserver / record problems - its a great way to spot problems. Edit - sorry didn't notice the date of the original poster
Well I call this a fffffasst answer Still, I appreciate it, thanks for your time (OMG I can't believe its been 1.5 years)
