Hello, I have a new site, around 3 months old, in the google webmaster tools I find that the site showed for some keywords but when I searched in google with the same keyword I didnt see it. Its like it showed for a little and disappeared. Is this normal ?
I agree with free bat, install Google Global addon to check that out. If you are surfing in Google.com from canada than you will feel difference as Google webmaster tool shows Google Global Lets say Google US Results. If you want to download the same plugin click below. http://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/google-global-view-results-different-locations/
The new sites are floating around SERPs all the time. It looks like Google tries different keywords form your pages and if people clik your page in SERP then G keeps the results. If people ingnore the page, it goes down. There are many of Google data centers, and each one gives a bit different results. Quite often the new page doesn't vanish from Google, simply the database you search has no copy of the page, and when database is updated you have the page again. Nothing to worry about. 'Panta rhei'.
How can someone click on it if it was on page 13 - result 142 DEfinately they cant be so stupid. And I use google.com, but tried other like canada and mexico but its not there too.
My experience (especially recently) has been the same, they appear to be way off sometimes and it has no relation to the size of the site, traffic, or age. I see one of my sites in webmaster tools ranking top 5 for a term that gets 20 million searches a month according to Google's search volume reports for October. It's simply not true... we've never seen this particular site any higher than page 2 for this specific term and you can bet we'd know it from seeing the traffic if we were there even for part of a day. In regards to what others mentioned with other google urls throwing it off, you guys know you can just set the filter with a pull down menu in google webmaster tools to show the results for each url/country right?
Although your website is not appearing on the first few pages on the SERPs, it might be down at page 125 for example. The way I check is to use the "site:" command in google. Enter in your keywords then "site:www.yourdomain.com" For example: "how to bet successfully" site:www.yourdomain.com
Wow, my site which is btw a forum ranks n1 for one word just because someone with nickname of that word created account. The keyword is met only 1 time in the entrire site and I rank n1 for that. That is very very wrong. I wonder how can google be so wrong.
I have the same problem for my website www.savvylance.com.. according to this, my website is at no. 32 for freelancer webdesign, but i don find my site at no 32 for this keyword. Pls help
I think that this just shows that our sites were in that position in the last week, even for 1 minute. If you take a look- it says "appeared" in past tense. Thats what my question was, why the sites appear for little and then go away.
you must wait and some times you can see your site 32. keyword but it may be on 40 or more... dont forget it will be 32 soon
You'd never know. On the left side of top results panel you have Impressions, that you are probably referring to. On the right side is Traffic, and this shows people who cliked your pages.And I am quite surprised by the numbers I have seen there.
