Google not crawling the website from 22nd October

Hi, This is Suresh. I made changes to my website and I see that google is unable to crawl my website from 22nd October. Even it is not showing any content when I use Cache:www.vonexpy.com. Can any body help me in knowing why Google is unable to crawl my website. Is there any technical issue with the website? Website is www.vonexpy.com
Thanks in advance.

Looks like its not just us - this is starting to get more attention https://www.seroundtable.com/google-cache-dated-19497.html

Our home page was cached today, but many of the pages on our site haven't been indexed since late October. It looks like this is a widespread issue.
-
I can see 90% of the pages I look at havent been cached since 22nd Oct, and I mean pages picked at random from hotels.com, booking.com and other big sites - is there a wider google cache issue going on?
-
I understand but we are not talking about black hat seo, just to crawl a site that hasn´t be crawled since october. And we all already know that sometimes Google says half-truths. I was suggesting to do something knew to get different results that he already had. Anyway i appreciate your point of view.

Google the queries: black hat seo, link buying. Click the first 100 results for both + read the guide on SEO by Google and then you probably get the point ;-).

Why not Martijn? That tool has helped me several times not in the same case but for backlinks.

You are not being serious?

Thanks Martin,
I made some design changes to my website. When you check the cache you an see that the website content is not crawled as the website contains some java script links. I replaced them with text links. So now it should crawl and index the website even though there is no new content. As the old spider is unable to crawl the website because of the image based links. And also I submitted the sitemap to webmaster tools only after the design change. It just indexed all the 30 urls 2 days back.@ Hemani I already submitted to webmaster tools and used fetch as google on the site but still there is no crawling.

Hi Suresh,
It looks like there are no problems on the site itself that prevent Google from crawling it, so that's a good thing. As the sitemap only consists of 31 (different) URLs, chances are that Google found out that the pages aren't any different any time that they crawled the pages. If that is really the case then I wouldn't mind so much about Google not crawling the content every now and then.

This is a normal problem and I have accord this quite a few times on my blog. The best way to do that is to submit your sitemap in Google Webmaster tool and get social tweets and social likes on your website and you will see Google will start crawling your website in days!
Hope this helps!

Can we re rank our Penalyzed website in Google?
Hello This is Maqbul, from India. I have a jobs portal blog [ bharatrecruit.com]. It was getting around 50K to 100K Views a Day and made me $100 a day. But after a few months, my competitor made negative SEO with 12,000 Spammy backlinks. Suddenly my site was hit by Google and now it is getting 200 to 300 Pageviews a day. So the question is I did not disavow bad links for a long time like 3 to 4 months. Now I disavow all the bad links but the website is not ranking. Can we re-rank this site or create another website. Please reply must. None of the bloggers can answer this. Thanks, Regards Maqbul

Google Indexing - what did I missed??
Hello, all SEOers~ I just renewed my web site about 3 weeks ago, and in order to preserve SEO values as much as possible, I did 301 redirect, XML Sitemap and so on for minimize the possible data losses. But the problem is that about week later from site renewal, my team some how made mistake and removed all 301 redirects. So now my old site URLs are all gone from Google Indexing and my new site is not getting any index from Google. My traffic and rankings are also gone....OMG I checked Google Webmaster Tool, but it didn't say any special message other than Google bot founds increase of 404 error which is obvious. Also I used "fetch as google bot" from webmaster tool to increase chance to index but it seems like not working much. I am re-doing 301 redirect within today, but I am not sure it means anything anymore. Any advise or opinion?? Thanks in advance~!

How to rank in Google Places
Normally, I don't have a problem with local SEO (more of a multi-channel sort of online marketing guy) but this one has got me scratching my head. Look at https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wedding+venues+in+essex Theres two websites there (fennes and quendon park) that both have a much more powerful DA but don't appear in the Google Places (Google + Business or whatever it's labeled as). Why are websites such as Boreham house ranking top in the map listings? Quendon Park has a Google places listing, it's full of content, the NAP all matches up. Its a stronger website. Boreham House isn't any closer to the centroid than Quendon Park Just got me struggling this one

Does Google index has expiration?
Hi, I have this in mind and I think you can help me. Suppose that I have a pagin something like this: www.mysite.com/politics where I have a list of the current month news. Great, everytime the bot check this url, index the links that are there. What happens next month, all that link are not visible anymore by the user unless he search in a search box or google. Does google keep those links? The current month google check that those links are there, but next month are not, but they are alive. So, my question is, Does google keep this links for ever if they are alive but nowhere in the site (the bot not find them anymore but they work)? Thanks

So if you are AB testing two pages: index.html and indexB.html Shouldn't I nofollow indexB.html? It has all the same content, just a different design.
