WebAtlas.org was banned quite awhile back, and is still banned today. Google refuses to index this directory and I'm interested in hearing thoughts as to why it's still not indexed. info:www.webatlas.org Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.webatlas.org If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: www.webatlas.org Find web pages from the site www.webatlas.org Find web pages that contain the term "www.webatlas.org"
I ever owned a site which took more than 4 or 5 months to get indexed. After I used both adsense and adwords, it finally got indexed. I could be wrong.
I think it is banned. I checked it with a tool also. I can't get any info from whois either, which is strange. I was going to see how old the domain is.
really. wonder why it didn't give me the info. But if it's been around for that long, probably it got penalized some time ago. That's my guess. Well, ok, i looked theirs at archives.org. It seems the site has been as it is for a long time. No apparent sign of being link farm. So I guess it's a matter of how the owner did off-page SEO.
I don't think anyone really knows the answer to that except Google... A very unfortunate situation for what I'm sure would have been a quality directory.
Exactly. I still like this directory and it's partially indexed in MSN and Yahoo. From checking the Whois, it looks like the ownership may have changed. There doesn't seem to be a problem witrh AdSense. It would be interesting to know what caused the problem...
It’s still listed at: http://www.strongestlinks.com/directories.php Do you know for how long is banned?
According to the owner of this directory, It was banned because they accidentally uploaded a wrong .htaccess file which had some redirects and code that were not allowed by google. They got de-indexed and never indexed again.
ahhh. thx for that tidbit of info. it looked like a great directory to be, especially based on the timeframe in which it came onto the web.
I can also see some 29 pages indexed! and loooks like a cool directory,very neat clean and a fresh looking design!
That makes point link:www.webatlas.org Site has few backlink, not enough to get back the bot regular on their site. After your posting about this site, Google bot got this site on this forum's thread. So, it gets reindexed again.
Doesn't having a .org name when you aren't an organisation have something to do with it? Just thinking out loud on that one as someone brought this up with me the other day? Worth a thought.
Well, good to see. I've gone ahead and submitted. The price is $37, just in case people want to know.
and that is one time fee, just in case people want to know. I have added this one in my PR4 Directory List.
