Something interesting that I want to share

I bought a domain almost a month back and started working on it. Adding content, building backlinks, you know normal stuff.

Interestingly enough, the website is ranking no. 2 on Yahoo for its keyword  but as of today, it is not indexed in Google. I checked the backlinks using the yahoo tool and saw that some of the links were built over a year ago.

I am guessing the past owner of the domain did some really nasty stuff on this domain and now Google has deindexed it, which means I won’t ever get any traffic from Google.

Luckily, Google thought of this situation before and already created a solution for this.

I just had to log on to my Google webmasters account. Add the website in my account. And then send the website for re-consideration.  I explained them what happened.

Someone from Google will look into this and hopefully put my site back in the Search Engines. But it will take several weeks for them to reply. :(

Let’s see how this works out.

This is such a great example of how tricky SEO can be when dealing with previously owned domains. It’s definitely frustrating when past practices impact your current efforts, especially when the domain’s ranking well in places like Yahoo but not Google. Kudos for taking the right approach by reaching out to Google for reconsideration, as it’s a smart move to ensure your site has a clean slate moving forward. I know waiting for their response can feel like forever, but hopefully, your patience pays off and your site gets the recognition it deserves. https://nativesprings.com/ Native Springs Latest News is all anyone is talking about today.

Submit to AboutUs... Google likes them and crawls there daily. They have a feature that will analyzed your site... get everything green and good. Be sure your site-map is submitted to Webmaster tools... but you probably already know that...

It's possible that your site might be indexed again, but don't expect a miracle. It's a good thing you have other sites to work on :)

I don't think there is any way to expedite it. I have plenty of other websites to work on until then, so I am cool with it. It's sort of a relief that I have one less website to worry about for the next few weeks.

Boy Andy, that's a bummer. Well, at least there's a remedy. Can't they expedite it? Call a Google representative.
