What did i do wrong?

scipilot · 02-26-2008, 02:30 PM

I have a disability directory. I recently wanted to improve the search results for insurance in specific areas of, diebetes, cancer, heart conditions and stroke. So created a category of ableize.com/products-and-services/Disability-Insurance/Diabetes-Stoke-and-Heart-Condition-Insurance

In the first few day I had the following results in google:

'heart condition insurance' 2nd on page 1

'Stroke insurance' bottom of page 2

'Diabetes Insurance' 3 down page 2

Now a week later non of the above can be found. Did i over cook it by sub catting to deep or would there be another reason. Does anybody have any idea what I did wrong or how i correct?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I think you need to build links for that certain category and add a little patients then observe!

scipilot · 02-26-2008, 02:48 PM

The category is no longer listed at all, i'm just wordeing if i have sub catted to deep, i just think it strange that it appeared in search results and has now stopped showing completly.

Yes.
I have changed nothing, only the results have changed.

It seems that you need to build more links on your site. Just continue promoting and building links.

corlock · 02-27-2008, 11:41 AM

nothing has seriously happened to your site, its just that you lack in building links to your site just what other says here...

skysoldier · 02-27-2008, 11:43 AM

Like what I've said just continue on building links!
I think your site is listed:

put link:http://www. followed by your site

all you need is 301 redirects

redeemer_spawn · 02-27-2008, 12:42 PM

Link building can really help your site back to top rank.,

scipilot · 02-27-2008, 12:52 PM

Thanks for the advice guys, i am fully aware of the importance of link building though, current total is around 60.000 with 970 G links showing on a PR5 on the index page with many internal PR 5's 4's etc.

My main concern is the one category I created to cover specific areas of insurance and as previoulsy explained the recently created cat was showing well on google but now appears not listed at all. ableize.com/products-and-services/Disability-Insurance/Diabetes-Stoke-and-Heart-Condition-Insurance

Why would this appear then disapear and not appear to be listed at all?

potchie · 02-27-2008, 12:55 PM

I think you need to continue link building. Getting some backlinks can help your site.

scipilot · 02-27-2008, 02:53 PM

Grrrrrrrrr does nobody read anymore

It's listed. I just did a search for ableize.com/products-and-services/Disability-Insurance/Diabetes-Stoke-and-Heart-Condition-Insurance and I got

ableize.com/products-and-services/Disability-Insurance/Diabetes-Stoke-and-Heart-Condition-Insurance/Moneysworth-l1509.html

As far as your search rankings go, I couldn't tell you why somethings going on. With Google, anything could be a reason for not showing an indexed page right down to being removed from indexing.

Have you tried contacting google support?

scipilot · 02-27-2008, 04:27 PM

Thanks very much for that chatxplanet

No i havent tried google support, do they actually reply? if so how do i go about contacting them?

P.S, I just tried the same search found it there but also found this thread

chatxplanet · 02-27-2008, 09:18 PM

They responded once when I contacted them but I cannot guarantee anything.

To get there, go to google, then click on the about google link and towards the bottom right corner you should see a link that says 'contact us'. You'll have to explore a bit because they changed some stuff around but you can contact them from that area.

scipilot · 02-28-2008, 03:06 AM

Thanks for that chatxplanet, i have made a few changes to the cat and will monitor for a week, if no joy i will try contacting them

optimize your site on page and off page. Do link building and other promotion.

It's a challenge, your site may rise and fall in SEs, but SEOs are the one who can reverse it.

nalds20 · 02-29-2008, 11:50 AM

Just continue applying Link Building....always optimize your site on page and off page optimization....

chatxplanet · 02-29-2008, 01:41 PM

lol I think this question got abit off-track.

scipilot wasn't asking how to improve their rankings, they were asking why their site was no longer being indexed (shown at all) by google (as in they were worried that google had possibly banned them?)

But, good news, google didn't ban and their site is still indexed in google. But if it had been banned (as scipilot was previously concerned about), all the link building on and off site you all keep suggesting would not have made any difference lol.
