Hi, My site's index pages, even the front index page got deleted about 3 weeks ago. And now, When I do a site:mydomain.com and it shows that I have 131 pages indexes on Google. The weird thing was that I didn't see my home page indexed. Any idea? Was my site get ban or sandbox by Google? My site is http://mulyrics [dot]com Thank you for your helps.
It sometime happen to others, but I haven't experience this... I guess this is about how you do your link building strategy.What url your are submitting to google? I see that the index page is not even cached at all. Try to build link using the home page as landing page and not inner pages.
I submitted as http://mydomain.com. I know this is kinda weird, and also I have 18 links to my home pages.
Only reason, is there are thousands of site hosting lyrics, your pages are one of them, duplicate content. So may be your are being panelised by google for duplicate content. If you want to get out of it, try getting as many backlinks as possible.
May you change home page. This activity may remove your home page from google for few time. you have no need to panic.
If you have read this forum lately you will see this similar issues happened to every websites regardless how authority status it is. I would recommend you do not panic or pay too much attention into the issue. It cannot be fixed even with deep link building for now, like I throught it was. The fluctuated in indexed page is go up-down all the times, so you de-indexed will become indexed again anyway.
Happening to many sites too but if your traffic and serp ranking is much affected too then you definitely need to build strong backlinks now plus fresh content for Google bots to see new things and freshly index you site.
A lot of webmasters are recently talking about these issues as their web pages getting dropped and they may return in the near future. As long as the overall status of the sites is in good shape and the domains powered by links and receiving traffic, there is nothing to worry about.
Don't worried it happen sometimes not regularly. You definitely need to build strong backlinks with fresh content.
you can use meta tag to for your pages to be removed from only google <META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE"> which removed such page from Google from next crawling of it if you need to remove urgently before crawling by google, you can use RL removal request tool
its google caffeine - lot of sites are having similar issues. It should be back to normal within 30 to 60 days
Hi, bestbuck I think it might be the JS detection and auto redirection feature on your home page prevents your homepage from indexing. Have a nice day,
Google won't show every page it knows about. Quite odd that your homepage would be considered as insignificant that it wouldn't show. Check for any spam, clear it off. see if it returns. Maybe be safe and send a resubmission request afterwards. Or, if it is caffeine, it'll be back.
Have you logged into Google Webmaster Tools to see how many pages it's saying are indexed by Google? It's free to use and can help quickly diagnose problems like what you're describing.
It says 263 indexed. Thanks for all the responses, maybe I should wait to see since they have a new layout updated recently.
You can also search Google for your pages by searching for site:yourdomainname.com That should show you all the pages Google has indexed...
