Googlebot visits my website almost every other day but it seems to leave right away. My site is in the sandbox...are these two related? Also I noticed that the number of pages that are supposedly indexed by google when I do "site:website URL" seems to have gone down today. Thanks in advance for you help. arrggggh - I feel like google hates me sometimes
that site is PR 3 and has 143 pages indexed. If you are not ranking well, it is probably becuase your content is not optimized and/or your competition is tough.
When I write articles for Ezine or SearchWarp, google always hits them but it never hits my site for the same related content. I try to make the content unique eventhough the subject matter is related. BTW, how did you get 143? I only see 124 when I do "site:URL".
Hmm, i only got 135 indexed pages this time. Maybe i read it wrong the first time. Having 135 indexed pages is still good though, and it means you arent in any "sandbox" If i were you i would put a focus on getting more incoming links. YOu only have 40 at current.
