My site keeps getting dropped by Google

jdfirth · #1 02-08-2006

Can anyone suggest something about my site www.daltonfirth.co.uk and why Google just can't seem to list it? It's listed fine on Yahoo, MSN, AV etc. and has been live for around 5 months now. There is a bit of history, in that it was originally listed as a .com and Google did originally index the first page, but didn't spider. I then accidentally had both the .com and .co.uk live with the same content, having been told this was bad, and could have resulted in Google sandboxing the second site on every single search term, since the content was identical. But I doubt this, because the .com version was never properly spidered. The original .com site now has a permanent redirect to the .co.uk site. The are also about 6 or 7 independent links-in to the .co.uk site. I have also registered the .co.uk site directly with Google, and voted on a few pages from the toolbar. The site then listed for a few days, then dropped out again. Any suggestions? Cheers, James

G can initially index a site from a submission but unless you build up some links it can also drop you, at the moment G shows none of your pages as indexed, get some more links...

It's indexed by Google, so not sure what you're talking about.

It keeps doing this, getting indexed (but only the main page), then getting dropped. And google never spiders it, so it doesn't index the content pages, which is what I want it to do.
