Ripoffreport.com De-Indexed?
-
I'm wondering if anyone else out there has noticed that ripoffreport.com has vanished in Google's index today (8-9-2011). Any input is appreciated.
-
And they're back. Shoot. What gives? Another loop hole?

Breaking news, I guess Ripoffreport removed themselves? http://searchengineland.com/ripoff-report-not-banned-but-removes-itself-from-googles-index-89000

Looks to be the case. Aaron Wall just posted about it: http://www.seobook.com/google-rips-rip-report-search-results

Interesting, I left a comment on Blumenthal's blog a few days ago asking if anyone has had to deal with spam/scam type reports from ROR. They are so annoying and frustrating. I've always wondered why they rank so darn high. I have a client who is really bothered by their existence and the 'fake' report on there. Doesn't look like all reputation or ripoff sites were slapped. Report Scam net still shows results.

also noticed that earlier today and was wondering the same thing. Will keep an eye on it for sure

Well, here's the million dollar question though. Is it truly removed from the index or some type of a temporary slap. I'm sure there are about 100 reputation management guys out their right now scratching their heads. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I have been dealing with ROR for a couple weeks now and just working it the normal way buy SEO'ing sites/pages to push ROR down.

I just did a site: search and it does indeed look like it has been removed from the index.

Is it possible to find out how many indexed pages a website had at particular dates in the past?
I've found all kinds of websites and tools that can tell me how many pages a site has indexed currently, but how about historically? Does such a tool exist?

Why is the Site indexed?
Hi, I'm trying to test a few things for which I've registered and set up new domains. For the set up I used Wordpress. Each Site has about three articles in it but no links pointing to them. Also I didn't take any measures to get my site indexed. However, one week later all my sites were indexed. Why is that and how can it be? I'm thankful for any answer since the problem is really ruining my test environment. The only clue I have, as to why this could be happening, is that I didn't remove the ping sites.Is that the reason? Or are there also other reasons? Thanks

Does TrafficEstimate.com provide accurate traffic statistics?
When comparing traffic data for my own sites and others, I see very large discrepancies between Google Analytics, Google AdPlanner, Compete, TrafficEstimate.com - TrafficEstimate.com used to be a great way to get data on other websites' traffic, but now they don't seem to show data for international sites, and the data matches very closely to other sources for some sites and not close at all for others (200% differences). Does anybody have experience with the accuracy of TrafficEstimate.com? Does anybody have experience with the accuracy of Google AdPlanner traffic data?

"keyword" - rank the home page or sub page domain.com/keyword?
One of my clients has a pretty decent website that ranks 1st place for most major keywords in their line of business. EXCEPT one keyword that i've been struggling to get 1st position on Google (currently 2nd). My problem is: let's say "tennis shoes" as a keyword the home page of course has several other shoes listed but I've seen that Google took my home page and made it 2nd position (on 1st page). Where the section domain.com/tennis-shoes is on 2nd page of Google. My question is should i rel cannonical from the /tennis-shoes section to the home page so it focuses more on the specific keyword that i need to get the home 1st? Or should i leave the home page generic and focus more on /tennis-shoes to get that 1st position? What do you Moz'ers Think?
