My site disappeared from Google!

guerrestellari.it · 12-18-2006, 10:56 PM

Up to last saturday my site http://www.guerrestellari.it/ was third or fourth searching the terms "guerre stellari" (without quotes)

During the weekend my website disappeared!

I made minor adjustments and changed the <title> tag, could this be the cause?

What should I do know?

I checked with Google Webmaster Tools and it says "Googlebot last successfully accessed your home page on Dec 17, 2006." nothing seems wrong...

the strangest thing is that in "Google Webmaster Tools > Page analysis > Common words table" all pages positions are missing!

Hi, i have checked on Your site everything i thought can be wrong, but i found nothing that cause this effect.

After that i checked the google, there are pages included in the index, and here in Hungary Your site is the 4th. So everything seems to be ok.

I have a suggestion to You: instead of this title:
"guerre stellari |-o-| star wars" i would use "guerre stellari - star wars" to improve the relative weight of the keyphrases.

guerrestellari.it · 12-19-2006, 11:31 AM

Thanks!

Do you think that the "|-o-|" in the title could make Google angry?

Bagi Zoltán · 12-19-2006, 11:51 AM

No i don't think that could cause the problem, but lot of useless characters, not increase Your rankings.

But it is only a suggestion

guerrestellari.it · 12-19-2006, 02:52 PM

Thanks Bagi,

I tried with Google Hungary and I don't see my website
http://www.google.hu/search?hl=hu&q=...#233;s &meta=
in 4th position I see guerre-stellari.it with a dash, it's not me

I've read on the internet that Google has a misterious "Sandbox", (I don't know what it is) is it possible that my website is ended in this Sandbox? And if yes, what should I do now?

Ooops, i really sory but i confused Your site with http://www.guerre-stellari.it/.
I am really sory that has the 4th ranking.

Now i absolutely don't understand this phenomenon. When did You installed the robots.txt ?

guerrestellari.it · 12-19-2006, 03:35 PM

the last update to robots.txt was 15 december at 11:39am

and is:

# robots.txt for http://www.guerrestellari.it
User-agent: *
Disallow: /forum

previously was

# robots.txt for http://www.guerrestellari.it
User-agent: *
Disallow:

I disallowed the forum because it contains so many offtopic posts...

maybe that wasn't a good idea?

I think that you need to purchase links to raise your site up there again as you might have low power in your website so i think that purchasing links will be a good idea

Bagi Zoltán · 12-19-2006, 04:50 PM

Well, i am not a really big robots.txt magician, but it can cause this effect. We need a member with relevant knowledge!

guerrestellari.it · 12-20-2006, 07:54 PM

Website still not found on Google, I'm really wooried.

I fixed almost all <title> tags.

Google Webmaster Tools says all is ok.

Page Rank is still 5.

What can I do now?

Please don't say "wait"...

Edit: the incredible thing is that you can already found this thread in google: http://www.google.com/search?q=disap...rrestellari.it

Edit 2: There's one more thing i did in the past days: i started a brief AdWords campaign for my site (my provider gave me a bonus of 50 euros in AdWords). The campaign ended last week, this may be the cause? Is Google penalizing who stops an AdWords campaign?

raina · 12-22-2006, 04:26 AM

Hi,
I think your site's Forum pages are in supplemental results. Just google for site:yoursitename.com. All the pages of forum are in Supplemental Index. Don't be panic, What you should do is :-

1. Block your forum using robots.txt. OR Change Title Description of all pages of the forums. You can use Thread title as Page Title.

2. Other pages on the website also have identical Title Descriptions, Just change them according to page content.

3. In Webmaster Central Select crawl Rate as Fast.

I think your site will be on First page very soon.

Best of Luck,
Raina Kelsey

raina · 12-22-2006, 04:28 AM

And one thing more, Also change main page title. Should look more professional.

Raina

mann3r · 12-22-2006, 05:07 AM

I can see your site in google with PR 5, but not on that particular keyword. type your site url to google search and you site is there.

guerrestellari.it · 12-23-2006, 12:40 AM

my site's back! I just changed titles and it's back!

now I'm 3rd
http://www.google.com/search?q=guerre%20stellari
better than before, now I aim the 1st place!

thanks to all of you
