    Baffled? Google vs.Yahoo

    Hey Everyone,

    I'm completly baffled on whats going on with google and my site. Here is something pretty interesting. Yahoo has my site completly spidered in their search engine. An easy search term to find it would be to use "killsometime"

    So like I was saying, Yahoo has every page on my site listed and google has not one! I have no page rank in google, no nothing...lol Is there a bug in google? There are many many pages that backlink to me so I figured I would at least show up doing a backlink search against my site, but again....nothing.

    It looks like yahoo is starting to get the edge on google!

    Anyone know why google will not spider my site? Its a rather clean user friendly site so I'm rather baffled.

    Thanks

    I didn't do anything, thats why i'm so confused. I'm not doing any illegal seo stuff or anything? Is it possible for a competitor to get me banned?

    1. Checked other search engines for backlinks - there are lots, so Google should index it
    2. Checked to see if site listed in Google - its not
    3. Checked to see if meta tags or robots.txt file are blocking Googlebot - they aren't

    Conclusion - its banned.

    4. Look reason (eg duplicate content, used Traffic Power, redirects, etc) - I can't see anything obvious

    CBP (sorry spelt your name wrong back there)
    Thanks for that. Maybe there is something dodgy going on when people visit the site - like it tries to load spyware in the background for folks on low security browsers like IE...?

    Hey guys,

    I can gaurentee that there is nothing doggy going on in the background. No spyware or any of that stuff. Its a clean site, not dirty tatics have been used. Is there anyway to get un banned if this is the case.
