Not sure what I did, but they have been deindexing one of my sites like crazy. www.mostpopularsites.net I have diff meta data on nearly every page and of course diff content on each page. Any clues as to why they are de-indexing me?
My www.autoimager.com site was deindexed too. I have no idea why. I didn't do anything at all onsite in quite some time, and certainly nothing bad. Yet, it is completely removed from Google, as if the site were banned.
Often with a new site Google indexes the index before it indexes rest of the site. If your site relattively new? Shannon
Quite new, but Google used to index more than the index page. PM me for Googlebot log of my site if you want to have a look.
In the keyword tracking tool it's showing 9,660 pages in the URL I have no clue what it used to be as I didn't manually track it. I don't see anyway in the tracking tool to show a history graph of the pages in the URL?
Try getting backlinks to each page; large page count websites with nothing but internal links are seen as poor resource by google.
What do you mean? I see PR5 on the home page. The page is cached: site:www.mostpopularsites.net shows "Results 1 - 10 of about 26,900 from www.mostpopularsites.net" link:www.mostpopularsites.net shows "Results 1 - 10 of about 2,670 linking to www.mostpopularsites.net" So what makes you think you are being "deindexed"?
Hi Minstrel, On my check it shows 12,200 pages using the site: command. I was a high (2 weeks ago) of 59,900 pages with the site command. Pages that were DEFINITELY cached are no longer cached or indexed now.
Lately, at least, it's not all that unusual about seeing the number of reported indexed pages fluctuating in Google. Your sites are also all directories. I've seen reports in various places suggesting that Google may be limiting indexing of directories, although I make no claims as to the accuracy of these suggestions. There is also something odd about your sites -- see my comment in the other thread (and while we're on the subject, having two threads simultaneously about essentially the same issue doesn't make it easy to respond to questions).
Glen, One of my sites that is similar fluctuates by a hundred thousand plus pages between deep crawls (site - the API count is lower but it also flucuates a prorata amount. It never seems to effect my traffic but it does cause me anxiety to see the page count dropping so dramatically. If you're ranking for your keywords and traffic is steady don't worry about it. Great Mambo implementation BTW! -jay
Minstrel, Thanks for your help on all this. Sorry about two threads. One was about not being crawled, thought it was a diff issue. My bad. Do you have any URL's discussing the directories not being indexed by google? I'd love to read them and perhaps ask questions there. I saw your oddity comment and responded.
Jay, This is comforting news. Perhaps you can PM more info (url, etc) Do you see the # of pages in the site command dropping now or in recent days/weeks? As for anxiety, heck ya, a HUGE amount of anxiety! Thanks for the kind words on mambo and also for your info. Knowing someone else with a similar site sees this flucuation provides SOME comfort.
