Hello SEO forum, I have a question regarding troubles with a particular website not getting crawled by Google and was hoping you might be able to assist me. I've designed a website and have spent quite a good many hours optimizing it as I always do. I've had no trouble in the past getting my sites decent Google rankings, however, seem to be having difficulty getting this one even off the ground. Currently the site hasn't even been crawled. I've manually submitted it twice now and have waited for about a month with no progress. As a new member it appears I'm unable to post any links and, while it's not my intention to break any rules, should any of you require the site I'll just bypass the filter. Now, because I've had no trouble in the past, there's only one thing I can think of that makes this particular website unique and that's the use of "therapist". I'm worried that Google is reading my site as "the rapist" and, because of this misconception, is disregarding me. Anybody have an opinion on this? I'd appreciate any help you could give as I'm not only out of ideas but am needing to get back to the client soon with a progress report.
Google will crawl your site even if it reads "the rapist". in fact, Google crawls both good & bad sites, still if you have found that its not crawling your site than you would have to build some do follow backlinks. Google's crawler will follow those backlinks and will reach your site and once reached it will surely be crawling the pages in the next step. it would be even better if you submit your sitemap to Google webmaster tools as we all know that a sitemap will ensure prompt discovery of each and every page of a site.
Your site may have been crawled and disregarded for some reason. Have you created a sitemap.xml file and registered it on Google Webmaster Tools rather than just 'submitting' the site? This will then tell you if Google is crawling it but does not want to index it.
If you are using wordpress then ping your site 3 or 4 times a day with some fresh content and submit your website to a few well established web directories which is trusted by google and also join a related forum put your site link in the signature and keep posting on forums. No problem even if the links are nofollow your site will be crawled but no vote is given to your site.
No it will not. but your website will be removed from some local search result because it's prohibited by law.
Ping your website using pingomatic.com or some such service and you should get indexed. Also Google will not read it as "the rapist" if you have written it as "therapist". Other wise psychotherapist( Psycho the rapist) would have had problems with Google, but I see many psychotherapist's sites indexed and ranking.
