Google does not show my website anymore
-
Hi All,
We developed a new website for the domain: www.instral.com.
Before we build the webste, the domain was indexed by google and was showed as first result on a search "Instral". Without a website! Only a super simple hostingprovider webpage.
Now, with the new website, all the website pages are found in google from page 7... home page is not even in the results.
When i search on "instral.com" in google, it will show my website on first result including homepage.
Is there something wrong with the website or DNS settings? Or mabe some other webhosting setting... am i on a blacklist or something? Bing and Yahoo are showing better results (first page).
I hope someone can help me out here...

Update: It seems to be working!
I just searched instral and found you #1 for instral.com

Hi Kevin,
Once you have searched for instral and actually gone to the site, personalization will ensure that you get the result you were looking for.
I confess, there's a mean girl inside me who's tempted to sit all day and search instral, then instaloans, then instral...instaloans...instral...lol
Is it possible to push the boundary and get some kind of different result?...hmmm

Perhaps i just needed your magic click
Thanks for your reply.

Thank you so much for your quick response! Lets give it some time then and in the mean time we use seomoz for some optimalisation

Hi Kevin,
The problem you are seeing is that Google does not recognize Instral as a highly sought after term and since they pride themselves on being "oh so helpful", the results returned are for the term "instaloans"
If you click the link to say "no, I really did want to search for instral" then you will get the result you were expecting.
Time to get a few dozen of your mates searching for your name and clicking the link from all over the place (oops, did I suggest that??)

I had the same issue with my brands & sites for awhile.
I am "High on SEO" - imagine how hard it is to rank for that term when so many agencies tell their clients they can get them "higher search rankings" and "improve SEO" and "higher SEO rankings" - it was brutal at first.
After awhile, Google started to realize that even though Facebook and LinkedIn are more authority sites than my domain, a search for my brand should return my site. Now a search for highonseo or High on SEO returns my site #1 almost always.
I think all that happened was time - I had to wait for this result to be #1 nearly all the time.
Same thing happened to my photography site. Searching for Best Day Photo without the quotes, and it wasn't top 5 pages. Now it's #1 logged out.
Google will eventually figure out that this is your brand name and the .com is relevant to the search. Just follow good SEO practices and link building. Be a bit patient and the results will show you soon.

Duplicate Version of My Website
Hello Again, Looking for a little help to help me understand what exactly is going on here. Ive taken over maintenance of a website and have so far fixed a lot of issues. ahrefs has shown me that a second version of my companies website exists that exists at a second url. This second website is linked to the actual company website like I haven't seen before. www(dot)#(dot)co(dot)uk is the main company website. But a second accessible version exists and is accessible at www(dot)#(dot)co(dot)uk The instruments version is a direct copy and all of the links point directly to my main site. Any changes I make on the main version are automatically applied to the other version. It shows up as a SPAM back link on moz as all of the link points to my website etc Ideally in my mind, the instruments version homepage should simply re-direct to the main homepage to solve this "duplicate content and spammy backlink" issue however, the instruments version is the same suffix that all our company emails work with. Basically, HELP lol. I have no understanding of how this is set up, and the best way in which to deal and if it could affect anything such as company emails.

Google showing https:// page in search results but directing to http:// page
We're a bit confused as to why Google shows a secure page https:// URL in the results for some of our pages. This includes our homepage. But when you click through it isn't taking you to the https:// page, just the normal unsecured page. This isn't happening for all of our results, most of our deeper content results are not showing as https://. I thought this might have something to do with Google conducting searches behind secure pages now, but this problem doesn't seem to affect other sites and our competitors. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how we get around it?

Internal website search
Hi, I'd like to index dynamically generated - internal website search pages - to Google. A mod rewrite to make the URL strings friendlier might be one way, but as these pages are created on the fly and effectively don't exist till the search keywords are inputted, is it even possible to index them? thanks
