2 sites made - almost same day question

[mweidner2782]

So i made 2 sites within 24 hours of each other:
babysitters-nyc.com
and
http://nanny-nyc.com/

nanny has 530 pages index and babysitters only 10.

Any idea why that would happen and what the problem would be?

Thanks and happy holidays!

You're likely to have problems with the content of both of those sites. It looks like thin content that is nearly duplicate except for the search and replace of one location for the other. Google isn't going to want to return to the user dozens or hundreds of nearly identical pages. If you do a site: on the nanny site and go in a couple of pages, it says there are actually only about 100 pages indexed.

You're going to need to provide more value to the user if you want to get these affiliate sites actually ranking.

So I did a crawl test on you site via the SEOMoz tool... it pulled in 300+ pages.  You can download the excel spreadsheet here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yo553nkkmzm6fq/babysitters-nyc.com.csv

So definitely submit to GWMT to speed up the process... other than that just wait

Looks like it's only been about 3 weeks since you've registered the domains.  You probably just need to wait a bit longer, and the other site will catch up.  A couple of tips would be:

1.  Explicitly create a robots.txt file.  I just feel better doing this, even if I'm not add any special conditions / restrictions to it.

2.  Register your sites with Google Webmaster Tools

3.  Build more good quality links to your sites.  500 plus pages is a lot for Google to index for a brand new site without any authority.  The more good links you have to your sites, the more pages Google will index.

You've most likely got a crawl problem.  Check your robots.txt to make sure that you haven't disallowed spiders by accident (I've done it).

Next, have you submitted them to Google WMT?  Submit those sitemaps and you'll get the whole thing crawled in less than a week I bet
