Hello All, I'm getting very frustrated. I recently built a new site for a client at www.conquestai.co.uk and have filled it with relevant content. Included keywords, and have put a few links to it from other sites I work on, but it still won't index. Even if I put in the exact company name in quotes on a search, it does not come up in the results. It has been submitted to Google since beginning of July 04. Have I made some glaring mistake or designed the site in such a way that Google is blocking it? Any help would be really appreciated, as all other sites I've designed and built seem to index just fine? Alastair Johnston
No cache, no backlinks, but indeed I can't see anything wrong either. Yuo should have a look on the pages where yuo put links on which point to this site, then have a look when that page has been cached last. Check whether the link is in the cache snapshot. If it is, and it is pure html, then you can be sure it is in the crawler's link cue. If that page has decent PR then it can't be long before it will be crawled and indexed. Probably a case of waiting... I know it's boring. Try get some more links in the meanwhile.
Like this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Conquest Architectural Ironmongery</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;"> Not this: <html> <head> <title>Conquest Architectural Ironmongery</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;"> Use the code valuator at: http://www.itools.com/internet/ Get the other tidy ups for your page from this tool but thats the first problem I'd say you have.
Put javascript in an external file, i.e. text file with all of the java in and call it design.js or whatever you want to call it - hell of a lot of Java in there, Google doesn't like that Is the page more than 101k - probably not, but something to think about? Is this duplicate content - does the text belong from another website? Do you have a mapped domain on this URL? If so, get rid - the happened to me many years ago when I didn't understand SEO properly. Your site is in Google : inurl:www.conquestai.co.uk It's not spidered your header or any content that could be because of any of the above. Darren
site:www.conquestai.co.uk shows it with one page - so I would guess it is wait. But some things that do come to mind are title is: Conquest Architectural Ironmongery description is: Contemporary and Restoration Products from Conquest Architectural Ironmongery H1 is: Non Existant alt is : Click here to return to home page - this is also your first internal anchor!!!! and what is more is repeated on all pages - in other words you do not have a credible anchor to support your title - it is also non existant!! You also put a large number of images down as your linking - this is not good for going places with search engines. If the search phrase that you are "going for" is "Contemporary and Restoration Products" then that should be in all the above, not that which you have, or don't have, at the moment.
I don't really know why, but I have a few suggestions: -- If this is Wordpress, install the "All-In-One SEO" plugin. This helped me get to middle of Page 1 on Google for 2 keywords. -- I don't think your <h1> or your <h2> are strong with keywords. -- Can you add at least one more <h2> section, so you have another strong keyword usage opportunity? -- I'm not sure your photo 'alt' tags are used strategically with well-searched keywords. (Use more of you main keywords in those 'alt' tags.) -- Your image URLs should have keywords in them, too. -- Not sure your keyword is used enough times on the page. (I counted one phrase used only twice in the body, when 3+ times in body would help.) -- I didn't notice that you've linked from one page to the others using keywords as anchor text links. -- Have you social bookmarked the site? What about all the rest of the pages? -- Maybe put links to it on Digg or Squidoo for more indexing juice.
