Help me understand what has happened

My website has been fully indexed within google for many months. Only, lately my pages indexed have fallen from ~26 to just the main page. Can someone here at DP provide me with some insight as to why this might have happened and how I might correct the situation?

On Time Mailing Services is my website.

I was an adwords participant for a while and only recently stopped serving adsense ads on my sight in favor of YPN. Could the stoppage of running adsense been the reason my number of pages indexed have dropped to just the index page?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time spent on this request.

 

Google adds and drops pages for no reason. The more original content, the more likely they are to index pages. On some pages, your code and ads seem to have a high ratio to content, but who knows if that is the reason. I see six pages indexed, but in any event, it has nothing to do with swithching from adsense to YPN.

I didn't see any PR on the inner pages - did you change the page names recently?

PS.. There are 348 domains hosted on your server, including some hardcore porn sites. That can also cause a problem.

 

Google has rolled back their index and is displaying older data right now. All you can do it is sit and wait it out. You should continue to seek links and promote your site as normal.

 

Yes just wait ... for me and many google seems have a problem
Dropping pages with PR 2-3-4
Doesn t index new pages

I don t know what they are trying to do

 

The advice of waiting this whole thing out is the best course of action. Don't assume you have done anything wrong at this point in time. There are problems with many new web sites inside the Google search world, but they will find a way to work this out and even if they don't, new sites will eventually become old sites with the passage of time.

 

How do you find that out?

 

I have the problem with 9 years old website 4-3-2 years old as well
PR3 pages keep dropping till this moment ,indexed pages number changes up and down
No new pages add to the index

 

Someone please tell me all this will be over soon!!!!

 

OK - all this will be over soon!!!!

 

That also happened to me but since the beginning of the month the number of indexed pages is increasing.

 

Hi, in the meantime of waiting for your website reindexing, don't do any hurried short term solutions.

Also try using the Google sitemap and updating it regularly.

 

Yes...the google sitemaps service is very usefull to see what the google bot is doing in your website and to see if there're any errors that can be provoking a short number of indexed webpages.

 

Well I just can here to ask the same question. Google has started dropping my pages too.

I touched on this subject in my blog, Gorilla Marketing sometime back in September 2005, when the Google Jagger update hit. In short, I explained that Google maintains multiple datacenters all over the world. When Google wants to test just how fast and efficient a new algorithm will re-index the World Wide Web they simply roll-back a datacenter and install the new algo. They will test for ‘speed’ and ‘accuracy’.

On May 11th, I was reading a press excerpt form Matt Cutt’s Blog, (The Google Guy), which confirmed our on findings. Here is a portion of the press briefing;

‘Alan Eustace is up. He’s our Senior VP of Engineering, so he doesn’t have to wear a suit. Cool, Alan’s going to walk through the life of a query! He runs through the need to crawl, index, and then score relevant results. “Speed matters.” With 8 billion pages, it would take 253 years (I think I got that right) to fetch pages if you fetch one page per second. “It’s important that we gently crawl the web at very high speeds.” Alan talks about duplicate pages, which can vary from 30-50% of pages with a naive approach. Alan notes that you have to avoid infinite loops such as calendars. Freshness matters. Size matters, especially with long-tail queries.’

So there you have it. Speed matters to Google, and lots of it.

 

As interesting as that is it doesn't really explain why Google has been using old data in all of their datacenters for such a long period of time (6+ weeks at least).
