I bought an expired domain name and I think it's been banned from google or something because I've tried submitting it several times every few months and it never gets indexed. How do you know if a domain is banned and can i do anything about this? I'm the new owner.
Have you tried this? http://www.iwebtool.com/google_banned Probably not definitive, think it just checks indexing? Have you done a resubmit with google explaining that you are new owner?
You don't need to submit a site for a Google review to get that site indexed? Do you? You only need to add more quality backlinks to it, and Google will finds your site out. I read an article, it said that too.
Yes, you don't have to submit the site. All you need are backlinks to get indexed (and quality backlinks to receive a good ranking). It sounds to me like the domain is indeed banned.
Get some quality backlinks and you will be indexed, you can build some links through article marketing.
If you're sure the domain is banned you can request reconsideration using google webmaster tools. edit : just checked your site : http://www.google.com/search?q=site:instavalue.com
I think it is really banned in Google, it's 7 year old domain so it must be on Google index if it's not banned.
hmmmm... if its penalized then you need to wait when the penalty will be expired... you should have check first if the domain is good or not so you wouldn't have problems like that. It will take longer depends on the penalty.....
ive checked your domain.. i think the reason is why your domain got penalized because it uses redirected page from other domain probably to cheat the PR of the page.... heres what i found "www.instacable.com/" This domain has PR 4... there are seo companies create sites that uses redirecting to get high PR and uses it for Link exchange.... message me if you need more information..
Best thing to get your site indexed is-- put your site link in signature of this forum and few more forums. Then make some posts around the forums. Next good thing is submit your site to few social bookmarking site like digg, redit etc.
You shud contact Google. Bcoz your site well in Yahoo & MSN but in Google does not index that means it is Penalilzed so try to contact Google.
This is the reason why I hate expired domains. I dont think you have much to do other than continue buildling links and hopefully, Google will soon index the site. There are some threads about this on DP, make a search and maybe you'll find something useful.
I will probably just buy a new/fresh domain and go with that. I've never even heard of www.instacable.com. thanks for everyones help
I find its better to let google find your site instead of just submitting. Does anyone else prefer this way?
