Quality Issues: My blog is blocked on Google Search Engine
-
Hi Webmasters,
I got an email from google team. The email is included below.
**Google Webmaster Tools: Quality Issues on http://abcdblogger.com/**August 8, 2012
Dear site owner or webmaster of http://abcdblogger.com/,
We've detected that some of your site's pages may be using techniques that are outside Google's Webmaster Guidelines. If you have any questions about how to resolve this issue, please see ourWebmaster Help Forum for support.
Sincerely,
Google Search Quality Team
My blog is completely blocked on Google Search engine. I removed all existing posts and reinstalled a fresh version of wordpress and wrote a good article. I redirected all broken links my homepage with a 301. After making those changes I submitted a reconsideration request to Google, But they declined it.
I doubt that the reason for blocking could be due to the backlinks pointing to my domain. I think Google's Disavow Tool help me to remove low quality backlinks, But how can I sort low quality backlinks using Opensite Explorer?
If possible can you create a text file with all possible low quality links, So that I could submit it using Google Disavow Tool.
Thanks.

Hello Hafiskani
Your blog only has a single post - and it isn't really very useful.
There is no terms of use and no privacy policy.
I haven't looked at your external link profile, but from what you said,you've redirected all of the bad incoming links to your home page. That is probably a bad thing. You would be better off either removing all the 301s and losing all of the links or reviewing the external links and only redirecting for good sites pointing to the old pages.
If your previous pages were as thin as this new one, my guess is that all of your old links were not from good quality or related sites, so readirecting them to the home page is a great way to tell google you love those bad links, and you're not prepared to give them up.
I just searched for your domain and I see you had previously been busy going around to blogs and dns test and stats sites, getting listings and links. Some of those blogs are completely unrelated to your old posts. I didn't see any blogs that were good quality, that willingly linked to your posts because they were useful.
I don't want to say that it is a lost cause, but either you need to continue on with this blog or dump it and start again.
In either case, you need to read the google guidelines at the links they provided to you. Then you may work out the deficiencies you currently have. Unfortunately, the google guidelines are quite vague and not exactly what I would call useful or readable, which is what they keep telling us we have to do. So that means you may not work out what is wrong.
This may seem like a radical idea, but if I were you, at the stage you are now, with am empty blog and such thin content, I would go back to school, and learn all the things you need to do to build a really useful blog, and then go and put what you've learned into practice. Or I would forget blogging and do something else.
There is inexpensive training around, or if you have no money at all, you could go to read problogger or copyblogger - or both.
I also recommend you don't ask for reconsideration until you have at least 10 useful posts. If you are a good writer and you learn the lessons you need, you should be able to do that in a week. If you are not a good writer, then you shouldn't be doing this anyway. Find something else to do. In any case, I recommend you get as far away from the "How To Earn Money Online" niche as you can. You are really the blind leading the blind - you should leave it to the people who really know what they are doing.
Look around and find a real business that you can do, that you don't need to keep writing new content for. Resell domains, or go to flippa and buy an existing website business that is already running, because (and I really don't mean to be mean to you) I believe you really don't know anything about blogging, so to try to teach other people how to do it is really a bad idea - for you and for anyone who decided to follow you.
Don't feel too bad about this, because when I first started (a long time ago), I thought I wanted to help other people do stuff like this,because I had a technical background and I could teach, but that niche is just a bad place to be and after I realized that, I got away from it. If you had "a brand" I wouldn't have said this, but abcdblogger isn't a brand.
Listen to what other people here tell you - they may have a solution for you. I am just one voice, and that is my advice to you.
Best Wishes with whatever you decide to do.

Is there an easy way to hide one of your URL's on google search?, rather than redirecting?
We don't want to redirect to a different page, as some people still use it, we just don't want it to appear in search

Removing site subdomains from Google search
Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good week? My website has several subdomains that I had shut down some time back and pages on these subdomains are still appearing in the Google search result pages. I want all the URLs from these subdomains to stop appearing in the Google search result pages and I was hoping to see if anyone can help me with this. The subdomains are no longer under my control as I don't have web hosting for these sites (so these subdomain sites just show a default hosting server page). Because of this, I cannot verify these in search console and submit a url/site removal request to Google. In total, there are about 70 pages from these subdomains showing up in Google at the moment and I'm concerned in case these pages have any negative impacts on my SEO. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Home page not indexed by any search engines
We are currently having an issue with our homepage not being indexed by any search engines. We recently transferred our domain to Godaddy and there was an issue with the DNS. When we typed our url into Google like this "https://www.mysite.com" nothing from the site came up in the search results, only our social media profiles. When we typed our url into Google like this "mysite.com" we were sent to a GoDaddy parked page. We've been able to fix the issue over at Godaddy and the url "mysite.com" is not being redirected to "https://mysite.com" but, Google and the other search engines have yet to respond. I would say our fix has been in place for at least 72 hours. Do I need to give this more time? I would think that at lease one search engine would have picked up on the change by now and would start indexing the site properly.

Acquiring a blog
Hello All, I've recently acquired somebody else's blog and have redirected every post to the relevant page of my website (madegood.org). The content is the same as on the original site, and I have used 301 redirects. The original blog didn't have a particularly high page rank I'm slightly worried that there are now thousands of links coming from one domain, which itself doesn't have much authority. Is there a way that I can tell google that I've acquired the blog, as opposed to just having lots of links from one domain. Thanks Will

Why is Google stripping/replacing my TITLE tag for the site with the BRAND Name only when looking at BRAND level search
When doing a search in Google (US Proxy) - Google is stripping and replacing my functional TITLE with the brand name only (say 'Nike'), but if you do a specific search term like ('buy nike shoes') and see a top 10 listing for my site's homepage, now the title works and shows correctly. I saw this a few years ago with another one of my company domains, but didn't ask the question as it worked out. Thanks for any insight.. NOTE: It's not damaging any results, or rankings for the site.. but: when searching for BRAND name of the company, like I explained, it's replacing a optimized title for the BRAND name, and then re-placing it naturally when deep search brings up the homepage and the TITLE looks fine.. Very weird at best! Thanks, Rob
