Hello folks I was being kind off greedy about the whole PR juice and nofollowed many links on my homepage , which actually blocked the google to crawl all my posts on my wordpress blog. My pages are still indexed and rank well.... The nofollow tags stayed for a while. The problem is , I built up a new site map and resubmitted it, but for no avail... I added new content and got in some links , still no avail.... I haven't updated the site now for 10-20 days now... what should i do ?
I am not getting you exactly. You said your site got deindexed but still your pages are indexed and rank well? How can this be possible mate?
nofollowing the links on your home page just means google will not crawl those links. If you have a sitemap goolge can still get to those inner pages. And this would not cause you to be deindexed unless you put noindex tags on your site. Nofollow just has to do with the passing of page rank.
Not like the whole site got deindexed , check out the first site in my singature... all the link to the 'game list' page were nofollow'ed ..... my 4 pages are indexed and all have a page rank....
Nofollow doesnt deindex nor prevent from crawling. I would look at the currently indexed pages with a site: command in google, I see some funky pages being indexed refereing to warning and invalid argument.
Hi, if u have a sitemap then Google can crwal your inner pages.use noindex,its a HTML meta tag.These include preventing robots from trying to index very large database.
