Google index

Hello,
I removed my site from google index From GWT
Temporarily remove URLs that you own from search results, Status Removed.
site not ranking well in google from last 2 month, Now i have question that what will happen if i reinclude site url after 1 or 2 weeks.
Is there any chance to rank well when google re index the site?

Uhm.. If you got hit by penalty, just re-indexing the website without any content/backlink profile changes will not do anything. To recover from penalty, you would need to find out what penalty it was, then change a lot of stuff on your website.
If you decide to dump old website whatsoever and build new one, don't redirect the old one to new, since, if there was a penalty, associating with old website is not a good idea.
There are several articles on MOZ about recovering, read them all

Thanks you, Why i deindex from google because its ranking and traffic dropped from 35000 daily visits to 1000, I deindex because i think may be its hit by google penalty. Now tell me Which should best solution for it, Re index after 1 or 2 weeks or change domain name from .com to .net. and if i change domain name should i do redirect 301 from old to new domain or not? also knowing that old domain has not good traffic and large internal links but it has more then 300+ backlinks? What should i do now? I am very thankful for your kind suggestion.

Hi there.
I believe that temporarily removing urls wouldn't affect the future ranking possibilities. However, it will take longer to get indexed, if you compare, lets say to brand new page indexing.
Here is my question/suggestion though: I assume there was a good reason for you to deindex those urls, so why do you want to bring them back? Would it be better for you to use brand new urls for brand new pages?

The images on site are not found/indexed, it's been recommended we change their presentation to Google Bot - could this create a cloaking issue?
Hi We have an issue with images on our site not being found or indexed by Google. We have an image sitemap but the images are served on the Sitecore powered site within <divs>which Google can't read. The developers have suggested the below solution:</divs> Googlebot class="header-banner__image" _src="/~/media/images/accommodation/arctic-canada/arctic-safari-camp/arctic-cafari-camp-david-briggs.ashx"/>_Non Googlebot <noscript class="noscript-image"><br /></span></em><em><span><div role="img"<br /></span></em><em><span>aria-label="Arctic Safari Camp, Arctic Canada"<br /></span></em><em><span>title="Arctic Safari Camp, Arctic Canada"<br /></span></em><em><span>class="header-banner__image"<br /></span></em><em><span>style="background-image: url('/~/media/images/accommodation/arctic-canada/arctic-safari-camp/arctic-cafari-camp-david-briggs.ashx?mw=1024&hash=D65B0DE9B311166B0FB767201DAADA9A4ADA4AC4');"></div><br /></span></em><em><span></noscript> aria-label="Arctic Safari Camp, Arctic Canada" title="Arctic Safari Camp, Arctic Canada" class="header-banner__image image" data-src="/~/media/images/accommodation/arctic-canada/arctic-safari-camp/arctic-cafari-camp-david-briggs.ashx" data-max-width="1919" data-viewport="0.80" data-aspect="1.78" data-aspect-target="1.00" > Is this something that could be flagged as potential cloaking though, as we are effectively then showing code looking just for the user agent Googlebot?The devs have said that via their contacts Google has advised them that the original way we set up the site is the most efficient and considered way for the end user. However they have acknowledged the Googlebot software is not sophisticated enough to recognise this. Is the above solution the most suitable?Many thanksKate

Google Index Constantly Decreases Week over Week (for over 1 year now)
Hi, I recently started working with two products (one is community driven content), the other is editorial content, but I've seen a strange pattern in both of them. The Google Index constantly decreases week over week, for at least 1 year. Yes, the decrease increased 🙂 when the new Mobile version of Google came out, but it was still declining before that. Has it ever happened to you? How did you find out what was wrong? How did you solve it? What I want to do is take the sitemap and look for the urls in the index, to first determine which are the missing links. The problem though is that the sitemap is huge (6 M pages). Have you find out a solution on how to deal with such big index changes? Cheers, Andrei

Google showing high volume of URLs blocked by robots.txt in in index-should we be concerned?
if we search site:domain.com vs www.domain.com, We see: 130,000 vs 15,000 results. When reviewing the site:domain.com results, we're finding that the majority of the URLs showing are blocked by robots.txt. They are subdomains that we use as production environments (and contain similar content as the rest of our site). And, we also find the message "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 541 already displayed." SEER Interactive mentions that this is one way to gauge a Panda penalty: http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/100-panda-recovery-what-we-learned-to-identify-issues-get-your-traffic-back We were hit by Panda some time back--is this an issue we should address? Should we unblock the subdomains and add noindex, follow?

Our login pages are being indexed by Google - How do you remove them?
Each of our login pages show up under different subdomains of our website. Currently these are accessible by Google which is a huge competitive advantage for our competitors looking for our client list. We've done a few things to try to rectify the problem: - No index/archive to each login page Robot.txt to all subdomains to block search engines gone into webmaster tools and added the subdomain of one of our bigger clients then requested to remove it from Google (This would be great to do for every subdomain but we have a LOT of clients and it would require tons of backend work to make this happen.) Other than the last option, is there something we can do that will remove subdomains from being viewed from search engines? We know the robots.txt are working since the message on search results say: "A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more." But we'd like the whole link to disappear.. Any suggestions?
