How can I tell if my site has been indexed? Here is the story: Lets say my product is Green Tomatoes. I am selling Green Tomatoes online but I created a test site called abcxyz.com to see if it would sell. They are selling well, so I decied to create greentomatoes.com. But I do not move abcxyz.com's stuff to greentomatoes.com. Instead, I have greentomatoes.com RE-ROUTE to abcxyz.com Anyway, abcxyz.com gets indexed by google. Yet in the meantime, I create many links (some videos) that point to greentomatoes.com THEN i decide to MOVE EVERYTHING to greentomatoes.com and delete abcxyz.com (actually I just put a thing that tells people to click thru). abcxyz is still indexed, but greentomatoes is NOT. How do I tell if it has been crawled by google? If i enter site: greentomatoes.com <-- remember this is a fictional name I get lists of inbound links.. MY QUESTIONS: How do I tell if google has crawled me? How will I know when I've been indexed? If I add inbound links in the next few weeks, will it just get indexed more because it will be getting more.. google juice? Thanks THEN i realized that I should just move
or if you have cpanel hosting check AWStats. It will tell you exactly how many pages and times GoogleBot has hit your site. Side note: Did you know if you have Adsense ads on your site it will be indexed (or rather crawled) faster than submitting it to the Google Addurl link. (Not guaranteed to get you indexed faster, but it will get the crawler through and your keywords will be indexed)
The best way to organize such a migration is to use 301 redirects from each old URL to the new matching URL. The 301 redirect says to Google that "old URL abc" has been replaced by "new URL xyz" and that "new URL xyz" must get all the PR and link juice that was going to "old URL abc". Jean-Luc
Use site:yourdomain on google or simply put your site on google search bar if error reply it means you are not yet indexed.. Use the cached:yourdomain to check when was the last crawl of your site Adding IBLs depends when Google update backlinks since you will never see all your backlinks... Try use different tools or simply login to Google webmaster account...
OK Guys -- I deleted the first stuff that was indexed, and I tell customers to click a link which goes to GREENTOMATOES.COM. When I do site:greentomatoes.com i get nothing. Is there a way I can tell if I am sandboxed?
site A is older and ranked - site b is new but you want it to take site A's place Point a temp redirect 302 towards site A from Site B but have them both be identical if possible or close. wait about 1 month and then remove the temp redirect You just told Google that this new site is replacing the old site and serps will reflect the new site pages. I did this and it worked for a site.
Debunked -- The problem is is that I am using Godaddy.com's website tonight, a crappy webpage development program. I dont know how to set up 301 with this. Wouldn't I have the ranked site refer to the new site completely?
Debunked -- Ok I CAN set up a 302 But why would I have teh 2nd site point to the FIRST? Would't I have the first point to the second (which has keywords in the domain -- that is why I want it indexed and why I want to use it) Exmaple Domain one is: kasjdhashd.com/kasjd (fake example) Domain two: Greentomatoes.com I want to use domain two and I want it ranked asap.. so why would I have domain 2 POINT to domain one? Also, how can I get it to point to a page within the domain like that (kasjdhashd.com/kasjd ). Is that possible? Sorry for these confusing questions..
It depends on what you are doing exactly. I had someone give me their personal collecting site that was just on a ISP server with no TLD for the actual site. He also forgot his login information and he sent me a disc with his site on it. I started site B but wanted all the link that site A had. So Site B with its own TLD name was setup as a duplicate and with 302 temporary redirects. After a month I removed the redirects since they were temp anyways and google recognized this and passed all the serps onto Site B since both sites were identical. I told google that site B was now the site to include in serps. People were doing this at one time to steal others hard earned rankings, but since then have become aware so don't try to steal anyone's ranking. You can also take care of the site by using permanent redirects 301 on the old site pointing to the new site. I didn't have this option on my example because I had no access to the old. So you have options depending on your circumstance.
