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.

Weird Google indexing issues with www being forced
IM working on a site which is really not indexing as it should, I have created a sitemap.xml which I thought would fix the issue but it hasn't, what seems to be happening is the Google is making www pages canonical for some of the site and without www for the rest. the site should be without www. see images attached for a visual explanation.

when adding pages in Google search console without www some pages cannot be indexed as Google thinks the www version is canonical, and I have no idea why, there is no canonical set up at all, what I would do if I could is to add canonical tags to each page to pint to the non www version, but the CMA does not allow for canonical. not quite sure how to proceed, how to tell google that the non www version is in fact correct, I dont have any idea why its assuming www is canonical either??? k11cGAv zOuwMxv0 -
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?

Google webmaster showing 0 indexed, yet I can see them all them Google search?
I can see them all the pages showing up in Google when i search for my site. But in webmaster tools under the sitemaps section in the indexed pages - the red bar is showing 0 indexed pages, even though they seem to be indexed. Any idea why is this showing like this? I don’t really think it’s that important as the pages are still indexed, but it just seems odd. Please see in the image.

Blog for a Prestashop: WP at subfolder or blog with dedicated keyword based domain?
Hi Scenario 1: site running with prestashop at domain whatever.com There's a blog at a subfolder of domain, running with Wordpress whatever.com/blog Scenario 2: site running with prestashop at whatever.com. The blog is at a different server and domain with keywords, e.g. cloudtechnology.com What's better for the blog posts to have better SERP results? Scenario 1 or 2? From the point of view of a user, I have seen for friends and colleagues that scenario 2 works for the blog, and might work for the shop, since blog posts contain links to shop etc. However, all examples I've seen for scenario 1 are still struggling...it's hard for them to make the blog visible at SERPs...is it a coincidence or is there a reason? Thanks for your answers!

Google Analytics
I usually have Google analytics "real-time" running on one of my monitors, occasionally I glance at the screen to see that are TOP KEYWORDS people are using, lately there have been a lot of long-tail keywords. If I try to copy and paste the queries into google, i can never seem to find us organically for the long-tail searches? Is the real-time feature accurate? Thank you!

Google showing former meta tags in search results inspite of new tags being crawled by it
I had changed the meta tags for a site www.aztexsodablast.com.au about a month back and Google has also crawled those new tags but in search results when I search for the term 'Aztex Sodablast' it is continuing to show the old tags while on the site, the new tags are being displayed. What may be the issue and how could I correct the problem?

My urls changed with new CMS now search engines see pages as 302s what do I do?
We recently changed our CMS from php to .NET. The old CMS did not allow for folder structure in urls so every url was www.mydomain/name-of-page. In the new CMS we either have to have .aspx at the end of the url or a /. We opted for the /, but now my page rank is dead and Google webmaster tools says my existing links are now going through an intermediary page. Everything resolves to the right place, but looks like spiders see our new pages as being 302 redirected. Example of what's happening. Old page: www.mydomain/name-of-page New page: www.mydomain/name-of-page/ What should I do? Should I go in and 301 redirect the old pages? Will this get cleared up by itself in time?
