Arrow Okay, so, what am I doing wrong? - 01-28-2008

So, I've designed my pages for humans and not for search engines. My site architecture is a bit complex, but every page is within three clicks of the home page and I have no hidden or tricky links. While my HTML is messy (an artifact of the editor I'm using), it does validate. I'm not knowingly using any Search Engine Spam techniques; the keywords in my meta tags are all relevant to the content. I generate new sitemaps twice a month and upload them to Google religiously. My site is not static; I try to add new content at least once a week. Finally, my content is by and large unique; so far I haven't found a single site out there doing what I'm doing on anything close to the same scale I am, even though I'm still less than halfway to where I want to be eventually.

And still, Google doesn't seem to know that I exist.

Oh, my main page is indexed; you can google on my website title and the home page comes up. But, so far, none of the primary content (the timetables) seems to be indexed. Using Google's webmaster tools to check my site, only three pages (out of 58) even show up at all and one is a test page which has long since been relocated. And while one timetable does show as being indexed, a google on "timetable Mobile Noxapater" (which should show a hit) returns just nine results, none of which are in any way associated with my site.

Back when I was working out the kinks in my CSS formatting (with the kind help of the members of this forum), the test page did show up on Google's list and in fact, according to my web logs, I got several hits on it as the result of Google searches. But for the past two months--nada. Yahoo is showing several of my pages, as is MSN, but so far I have almost completely managed to elude Google's notice.

I'm not going to obsess over my page rank; as I said, my content is unique enough that it should make a strong showing in any suitably targeted search. But if it's not in their index at all--then what do I do?

Standing by for suggestions, I am...

And what about your code-2-content ratio ?
Do you have too much code (tables, divs, and all...) as compared to your actual text 'content' ?

Also do you do quality link building ?
like, building backlinks from authoritative sources, to get high exposure to your inner/deep page.

Btw, what is the site in question here ?
Post the url here so that we can check it and see what's wrong with it, more clearly.


My periodic table contains only 1 element : the element of Surprise.

if you launched your site recently you will have to wait a bit , around 2 months . you also need to get some links as Shadab says . Google won't get to your site unless there is a link to your site from another site in his index .

It is most probably not import that your HTML is messy for search engines but what count is On-site and Off-site optimization.

And you have probably fail there. Search engines does not like dynamical pages,...
they do not like for example this kind of dynamic extensions .php?adfujkfsdlk;lesdfk

Try to do some research to chose right words into your title and body and then look around for your competition that score well on search engines.
Send email to webmaster and ask him if he can place link back to your site, try to write some article and place link to your site into article, try to write news about your site and submit it to news website etc...

They are many technique that will help you. Start with reading some Search Engine Optimization article and then start with working. And be patience. The positive results will come for sure.

i hope you are doing great but your said that your site is dynamic. Yes search engine dislike dynamic site as compared to static site but i doesn't mean that dynamic site cannot be optimize. I think you have to create some static pages and i hope their is a method call url rewriting for rewriting the url of dynamic site so that those complex dynamic url can be change to static url. Try it and see the difference...
