Thread: banned from google?

  1. #1

    banned from google?

    Did a search on google today and discovered I dont exist for my key words. The only thing that shows is a search on my url.
    Here's the weird thing. I show up on aol and yahoo as ranked 4 and 5. I was just crawled by googlebot and not indexed, but was index on yahoo and aol. Anyone have a explanation for this? Was I banned from google?

    I only know for google.

    Your site is still in Google but you have a couple things against you.
    One your hosted with godaddy and two you have no incoming links.

    Janeth,
    My url is there but I cant find any index for my site. Would being hosted by godaddy prevent me from being index? I was indexed before with the same host.
    Should I switch to a different free host? I cant afford to switch to a pay host at this time.
    Incoming links I just started working on this week.

    The big thing is incoming links you need them and do not have them.

    A free host is a little tuff to sale your customers once you start getting them.

    But Godaddy has been in trouble with Google and they also have a bad rep. for doing things there not suppose to do to there customers.

    I would talk to Steve at http://www.madtiger.co.uk/

    I'm not sure what is prices are I need to look into that but I think he has something where you pay at the end of the year or something like that. Email him and tell him Janeth said to get some prices from him.

    After you do that start working on links. You do own your on domain name?

    Are you still sure about this? I know that was a big selling point for your business previously, but having them unfortunately doesn't seem to have helped you with the latest Google changes.

    Personally I'd be real leery of telling people right now that simply having incoming links is the big thing anymore. It may be that Google changes will require something different than just plain old incoming links, and that websites could be hurt by just gathering links as if having them was the only important thing.

    Just a thought...

    Google still counts the links and any ranking we lost was due to an over use of <h> tags.

    Links still help and there is nothing I have seen that would change my mind as far as that goes.

    Look at who is ranked number one for computers and the key words are not even on the site there in the links going to the site.
    Also #2 for computers

    The same for promote

    All you have to do is look and you will see that the one thing that carries more weight then anything else is links.

    Check any very popular search term and you will see most of the top results do not use the key words on there site but rather in the links coming to the site.

    Thanks for the tips Janeth. I looked into your suggestion and noticed your friend is located in the Uk. Will there be problems with page load time if he hosts my USA site?

    No there should not be a problem with load time.
