Number of indexed pages decreased

sandhipan · 06-05-2009, 03:20 AM

My website 'http://www.kitnebaje.com/' was having over 4500 pages indexed in Google. All of a sudden the number of pages indexed was reduced to 1000 pages few days ago. What may the possible reason behind that? Any clue will be highly appreciated.

I think do link building and article submission for all internal pages i think your pages index soon

sandhipan · 06-11-2009, 12:36 AM

thanks gensofts.... there are thousands of internal pages. Do I have to get links for all those pages? If so, how should I go ahead?

larryatv7 · 06-11-2009, 12:56 AM

I think they think those pages are similar and treat them as duplicate contents. It happens to my site too. I won't worry this too much.

i think you can get more backlinks for your important inner pages not every inner pages.

Have you recently add/remove webpages from your site? If so, update your xml sitemap and resubmit it to Google Webmaster Tools. It can help those thousands of pages of yours get indexed.

Your site possibly has lots of inner pages that are very far away from the index page that's why it's hard or very slow to be indexed. Make sure you use internal linking properly.

I this case replacing a signature in forum accounts can have a huge effect. Maybe you replaced your signature in many of your forums.

Have you lost traffic along with the indexed pages? If you haven't then don't worry about it. My number of pages bounces around by thousands of pages every month, but my search engine traffic stays constant or grows. I suspect this is merely google changing the way they count or report the number of indexed pages. I've read that the count they show with the site command is an "estimate" of the number of pages indexed.

i think you sed black hat technique

Franklinbkr · 06-12-2009, 07:25 PM

I think google is just showing the pages and links which are getting scrolled by robots daily. the one which are getting buried are not getting counted. Hope it won't be true.

your content may become old with respect your relevant category, you must update those content regularly once in every crawl

there are not a particular reason of de indexing from search result
there many factors affect this

1. Poor quality content
2. duplicate cotent
3. bad networhood of your website
4. getting backlinks frm blacklisted site
5. google maypenalised you
6. google sandbox

and last there is a lot of datacenter may be your site is not updated in that data center

shathesh · 06-16-2009, 03:19 AM

yes this points are correct in search engine point ,
we must overcome this errors by unique contents like our site online news

sandhipan · 07-02-2009, 12:43 AM

Thnx to all.

I think for a website which displays listings, its very hard to improve/increase unique content. Revamping the old pages with new design, internal linking may help in getting those pages indexed.

But I'm not sure of why site: and Google webmaster tool are displaying different results for my sites indexed urls. Site: is displaying 923 results and Google webmaster tool shows 4527 urls.

Yeah, I agree, that's a good idea to take a step revamping your site pages to get indexed. With regards to your question, it's because the result in manual checking is only estimates which doesn't gives you or shows all the result. Unlike in webmaster tool, it shows complete or almost all results.

Aside from these reasons, perhaps, there are some broken links on your site that's why some of your indexed pages have lost. Check your sitemap for those broken links.

sandhipan · 07-03-2009, 05:08 AM

I used to follow Google webmaster Tool to remove all 'not found'/404 pages from the index and also the links these 404 pages are linked from to make sure Google no longer find these broken links.

Thanks divalicious for clarifying it. I was little bit worried about that

Most probably, you will not be able to get backlinks for all those internal pages, however, you should have excellent internal link structure in your site.

Matt Cutts mentioned in one of his posts that Google crawl a site based on its PR. The more PR a site have, the more Google will crawl and the more Google crawl, the more pages get indexed.

So basically, you need to get some solid backlinks. Either for homepage or for internal pages.
