My site http://www.sexyfun.co.uk is no more indexed in google. Two months ago there was 1100 pages indexed with google but after new design implementation and new programe (from .cfm to .php) all the pages get deindexed. There was also google PR3 in most of the pages. Do anybody have any ideas regading this and how to sort out this problem?
The old pages need to have a 301 redirect to the new pages. Building deeplinks to your new content would be a good idea as well. Even with all of that in place it can easily take months for google to reindex.
dynamicseo, kh7 has some good advice...I had the same problem after I redesigned a site about six months ago and it took about three months to get back in the Google search results... jmacleod
I redesigned the URLs on all my sites last year, and had some scary experiences with losing all indexed pages and PR, hoping it would come back. Typically, after about a week, your entire site except for the homepage disappears. 1 - 3 weeks later, pages start coming back with the new URLs. All PR is lost except for the homepage, and this will normally come back as it was at the next toolbar PR update. I never saw the index for the homepage disappear though, and it would definitely worry me that the entire site is gone. I would have a look at some of the multiple datacenter tools using the query "site:sexyfun.co.uk" to see if there are any indexed pages on the other datacenters. If there are, it may be a sign the site is coming back. If not, it may be a sign there is a penalty applied (would there be a reason for this?). Assuming there is no penalty, you should definitely do a 301 redirect from the old pages to the new pages. At the very very least, you should do a 301 redirect from product.cfm to your homepage. It's a better idea to 301 redirect each product page to it's new location. Currently, all your pages indexed in Yahoo are causing duplicate content issues, which doesn't help. So... 1. setup 301 redirects from old pages to new 2. Go get a couple of high PR links to give Google a reason to come back. This won't be easy as nobody with a high PR site will want to link to a site with no indexed pages. 3. File a reinclusion request if your home page is out of the index for any longer than a month. It is normal to take a while for subpages to come back, but the homepage should be getting crawled regularly unless there is a penalty. Good luck.
I completely redesigned my site in September last year, and it only took one month to get back to google. Just keep getting backlinks, your site will be back soon.
Agreed, as long as you keep building links then google will give everything back to you. You may also want to build a google sitemap, this can help with faster indexing as well.
you should have given the 301 redirect it would have preserved your page rank in google this is the safest option and search engine friendly method any how dont do this mistake infuture These are couple of methods which i have seen in other sites and iam posting it for our community benefit 1. Cold fusion <.cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently"> <.cfheader name="Location" value="http://www.new-url.com"> 2. PHP <? Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" ); Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" ); ?> 3. ASP Redirect in ASP <%@ Language=VBScript %> <% Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently" Response.AddHeader "Location", " http://www.new-url.com" > 4. ASP .NET <script runat="server"> private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"; Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.new-url.com"); } </script>
