I started to develop a domain that I purchased well over a month ago. I wrote 100+ completely unique articles. I designed the homepage, I SEOed the content, and then I submitted a sitemap, added analytics and prepared to be indexed. However, the problem is, I haven't been indexed. It has been well over a month with the site just sitting there. Nothing. I looked it up and turns out domains that have been registered by someone before you can get banned by Google and future owners of the domain are penalized for previous owners mistakes! I submitted for "re-inclusion" into Google days ago. We'll see how it goes I guess.
What's your site about? How do you get your domain? What was the domain used for by the prior owner? You can try to ask your friends to visit your site to see if your site works well.
Submitting for "re-consider" in Google Webmaster is a gamble. I would not suggest you to go on with that domain anymore if it is really have been heavily penalized or banned by Google earlier. You might wanna get a complete new domain.
It's within the health niche and was registered at Godaddy. I'm not sure what the previous owner did to get the site banned. Re-inclusion might not work out huh? Well that's just fantastic
I register the domain, always new, if i am not indexed within 2 minutes of adding content... well i just lose interest.
I have found a Good Article. Read it Get it indexed within 1 day, according to the article author: http://www.thepankajgupta.com/2010/04/get-indexed-in-google-within-24-hours/
search the website which is indexed fast in google. Like directory,article,social bookmark..etc. Take any one and post your site. This is the way you can create quick index.
check the history of the domain, use archive.org to see what the site used to be. check it's backlink profile. it may have been penalised in the past, so you'll be lucky to have it reindexed.7 google seems to act on "once bitten, twice shy" so it might take some convincing to reindex you. similar to this, i have had reindexing problems with some pages - some pages taking weeks and months to get recrawled, it's tiresome.
Hey there, If you already own the domains, they're paid for - I wouldn't necessarily take the advice given here about "forgetting reconsideration." What do you have to lose by it? If you've cleared up the site, removed the old pages and have new content - I would go to several social bookmarking sites (like reddit for e.g) and submit your pages there. Go through a reconsideration process via Google Webmaster Tools - if it works, great - if not, you still have the content for use elsewhere. Exhaust your options though - nothing bad will come of it if you're still penalized from the previous owners actions, not going to get any worse. Regards, -e
I switched domains because I just couldn't wait any longer. I've been counting on this site to make me some money within the coming months and this delay is killing me.
Generally you also need some other bigger sites to link to you. Sometimes submitting a site map isn't enough. I would do what efreed said and submit to social network sites, even for your new domain. It helps you get indexed more. also, making money off new websites is always a big risk. But generally if you put in a big investment and distribute it properly it can grow fast.
hey did you check the domain history, if the previous owner made bad using your domain, then the domain will never get indexed in Google..
May be the domain was once punished by Google before you bought it. You can check the web archive history and see whether there is any usual activity.
