Google not show results for my domain as keyword
-
Hello seomoz!
The problem
My issue is that from around 28-7-2014 when i search on google "domain.com" it doesn`t return any webpages of my website.
What is working as it should
I get results for the homepage if i search any other keywords. For example if i search "site:domain.com" i get many results including the homepage.
Other helpful information
- On Google webmaster tools i didn`t receive any message regarding this, or a penalty.
Also at manual actions there is nothing. - The traffic coming from google didn`t dropped. Actually the last weeks i have an increase on visits
Any idea what could be wrong ? Any solution for this? Thanks a lot for your time!

The sponsors on the right are friendly sites within the same area. They also have links/banners on their sites for us. We do not sell links.
With that said, i did link building with the websites i have on the right. Nothing black/grey.
-
All the sponsors on the right are dofollow links, do you have a huge linked network of sites or are you just selling links?
Either way I am sure Google is or soon will not be happy with that.
Apart from that I do not see anything that would specifically be wrong that would simply block the site for its domain/brand but still show all other pages. such as "pornakias video"
Have you been doing any link building? or anything black grey hat?

Thanks EricaMcGillivray,
I modified my first post !

putting on moderator hat You can totally leave the URL for your site. We have several adult site customers.
We just ask that you, as you already have, leave a warning that it could be NSFW for some people due to the content. And having a direct example with URL will probably get you better answers from the community. -

Should I "no-index" two exact pages on Google results?
Hello everyone, I recently started a new wordpress website and created a static homepage. I noticed that on Google search results, there are two different URLs landing on same content page. I've attached an image to explain what I saw. Should I "no-index" the page url? Google url.JPG In this picture, the first result is the homepage and I try to rank for that page. The last result is landing on same content with different URL. So, should I no-index last result as shown in image?

How to get google to forget my old but still working page and list my new fully optimized page for a keyword?
Hi There! (i am beginner in seo) I have dynamic and static pages on our site. I created a static page for a specific keyword. Fully optimized it, (h1, alt, metas, etc.....maybe too optimized). My problem is that this page is alive for weeks, checked it in GWT and it is in robots.txt, google sees it, and indexed it. BUT whenewer i do a search for that keyword, we still appear with the dynamically created link in the google listings. How could i "redirect" google, if sy make a search for that keyword than shows our optimized page? Is there a tool for that? I cant delete the dynamic page... Any ideas? Thx Andrew

Google Webmaster Tools - content keywords containing spam?
Hi all, When I looked in Google Webmaster Tools today I found under the menu Google Index, Content Keywords, that the list is full of spammy keywords (E.g. Viagra (no. 1) and stuff like that) Around april we built a whole new website, uploaded a new xml-sitemap, and did all the other things Google Webmaster Tools suggest when one is creating a Google Webmaster Account. Under the menu "Security Issues" nothing is mentioned. All together I find it har d to believe that the site is hacked - so WHY is Google finding these content keywords on our site?? Should I fear that this will harm my SEO efforts? Best regards, Christian

URL not indexed but shows in results?
We are working on a site that has a whole section that is not indexed (well a few pages are). Â There is also a problem where there are 2 directories that are the same content and it is the incorrect directory with the indexed URLs. The problem is if I do a search in Google to find a URL - typically location + term then I get the URL (from the wrong directory) up there in the top 5. Â However, do a site: for that URL and it is not indexed! Â What could be going on here? There is nothing in robots or the source, and GWT fetch works fine.

Trying to get on Google page one for keyword "criminal defense attorney san diego". What can I do?
I'm trying to help a friend who is an attorney get on page one for the keyword "criminal defense attorney san diego." So far I've changed his title and description tags since they weren't optimized before. (SERP shows old title tag, however I submitted a XML sitemap through Webmaster tools to get the new title tags updated.) He also had a few duplicate pages, but I took care of that with some 301 redirects. I also added a h1 tag, alt image tag, and more content. I also spent a few hours building links for him. He currently has a page authority of 52 and domain authority of 44 with a decent amount of links pointing to his site. I'm wondering why he's stuck on page 4, when his competitors that have less impressive numbers seem to show up on page 1. I did look at his link profile using OSE and I'm worried that his old SEO guy got him spam links. His website is www.nasserilegal.com, however the page I was focusing on was www.nasserilegal.com/criminal.html Any advice would be great.

New page titles not updating in Google results even though recrawlled

Google Penalize?
Hello, I read an statement somewhere which stated: "2 identical URLs linked to 2 different popular key phrases next to each other (on the same website/domain) will lead to a Google penalize. Google knows, that both terms are popular. This means, Google will ignore the links to your site (you'll not have any benefit) and the site you have your links on loses authority." What are your thoughts on this statement? Thank you.

Google Shopping Australia/Google Merchant Centre
So Google Shopping has finally landed in Australia so we've got some work todo hooking it up to our client ecom sites. Right now we have a handful of clients who are setup, the feed is getting in their ok but all products are sitting in "disapproved" status in the dashboard and clicking into each individual product the status says awaiting review. I logged a support ticket with Google to get some more info on this as it doesn't look right to me (ie the disapproved status in dashboard) and got a useless templated answer. Seems that if I switch the country destination to US the products are approved and live in google.com shopping search within the hour. Switch back to Australia and they go back to disapproved status. Anyone having the same issue/seen this before? I simply don't trust Google support and wondering if there's other factors at play here.
