hey, i've read tons of articles about SEO and related articles. I followed up a few of them. Heres what happened: I updated the site, and on saturday i noticed that google had crawled it and i ranked pretty high on many of the search phrases I were aiming for. To my big supprise it lasted for one day. The next day the site wasn't index any more, only one of about 20 of my pages were index with the new content. As a result, I no longer rank on any of the keywords(as before). Why is this? In my google webtools panel theres no information about google crawling my site, still, I have found the information old and slowly updated before. I find this behaviour very strange, so if anyone could explain this it would be nice! thanks, Kristian
I had this problem befor or actually I still! anyway I think Google ecourge new sites(pages) so appear it in good position at first and then drop it ... The new crowled pages in my site have good position at the first 2-3 days. I think when the page rank will up the pages will take good postion without this dancing
well, the thing is that the new pages aren't indexed anymore. Looks like Google fell back to an eralier indexing of my pages.
Google has many different datacenters. Some will have indexed your content and some won't. Give it time and the data will propagate across the DC's.
Well i have seen this with new site.. i mean new domains.... that it get good ranks for few days and than it suddenly falls to no where... but increase back links and try to put fresh content every day... might be this help you
Must say thanks for all the feedback! Since I'm new to this, I need to ask what the term backlinks mean? I've got a javascript sitemap on the site, which pops up a sitemap, the popup link is also a link to a page with the sitemap for google to crawl. The popup script uses a div-element with style display:none; is this violation anything at google? (btw, the domain is PR4 and about 3 years old)
Don't use a javascript sitemap. Search engines can't follow Javascript. Not sure about display:none. Search engines take a dim view of hidden content unless you do it right.
i've got both javascript sitemap and html sitemap, so it shouldn't be a problem with the javascript thing, unless google don't follow links with a onclick attribute on?
Google had very big database all over the world. Some time you site is index but next day it go. There is noting to worry about it just wait some time it come again and rank. Google take time to set your updated results.
Here on digital point, I've got some keywords indexed, so i can follow the result and such, and those seem to go on the indexed version of google. That was messy. Simple question : is there a difference on using the Google API with Norwegian preferences, than googling google.no? Cause here on digitalpoint my keywords rank good, but when i actually search google.no, it doesn't show - cause it isn't index. So indexed with the Google API, but not google.no. Is this normal as well? Thanks for all the replies, it has been very helpfull!
The keyword tool here has results geotargetted to San Diego where the server is. You should install the advanced script on a server in Norway to see the best results.
