I have been on a massive campaign for backlinks - free directories etc... in the last month. Site has been up sinse May. Still waiting for dmoz linkage. Yesterday, when searching for my domain - Google found it. Woohoo!! I was so stoked! Today, no results. Any ideas?
Wow, thanks for the quick response! Recently(3+ weeks), I did several 'bulk' site additions to multiple search engines. When I could opt out of google, I did. Because of possible multiple submissions to google could this have an effect as well?
You don't need to submit to any search engines (including Google). Any search engine that has any chance of getting you a single user from their results will find your site automatically via links.
good unique content and links and more links. only submit to directories never to search engines. want spam? submit to sites claiming to include your site in 10,000 & more unknown/nooneuses se ------------ Search Engine Optimization, SEO London, Internet Marketing, Search Engine, Translation Company, Links Exchange for Translation, UK Search
I've got like 2,000+ hits from Googlebot but my ranking isn't particularly nice. To me, Google has its own way of ranking. Googlebot visiting your site does NOT mean you'll appear straight away. It also depends on your theme and keywords.
if you want to be spidered ina few minutes than place a code from google adsense and your site will be indexed very soon.
this same thing happened to my client website its 20 pages were indexed by google but when yesterday i search it there was not a single page can anybody help me out in this situatiuon a facing this first time
When you do a Google search, you are diverted to different datacenters depending on server loads at that moment on the various datacenters. With a new site, freshly indexed, it may well be the case that it is indexed in one but not all of the datacenters. Consequently, you may well see new sites "dropping in and out" of Google searches as a function of which datacenter is being quereied. If you are indexed on one datacenter, in due course you will be found in all of them so just be patient.
Have you seen any evidence that that will get a new site indexed more quickly? Spidered more quickly, perhaps... although I'm not even certain about that. From what I've seen, the main thing you may expect to get from a Google sitemap is a deeper crawl on certain sites, especially dynamic sites.
Oh, really? And how do you know it was the Google sitemap that did it? A lot of myths about Google are founded in supersitious behavior. This morning I have tea instead of my usual coffee. This evening I find I'm finally in the top 100 on Google. Omigod! Drinking tea helps your Google ranking!
