Major Reasons Why Search Engines Might Have Been Ignoring Your Website

There have been so many complains here and there especially from those that are newbie to blogging saying that Google and other search engines are not indexing their entire website though they submitted it week ago and so on... This is very true but i want you to know that nothing actually happens without a cause or reason.

You may be experiencing this due to all or some of the following reasons i have shortlisted below, checkout the one you are guilty of and make necessary corrections or changes.

They are listed as follows:

(1) Inability for search engines to read your web page content: 

Know this,that search engines do make use software programs to get your website/web pages indexed. A web page that looks so great to the eye can be totally “meaningless” to search engines, and may completely ignored.If you have a good looking web site that is “meaningless” to search engines, you will not be able to obtain high search engine rankings with that web site no matter how cool and interesting your web site content maybe. In general, search engines cannot detect your content which is presented in images (PNG, JPEG, GIF e.t.c.), Flash elements, JavaScript and other script languages or any other multimedia file formats.So now you need find out how search engines see your web page, use a search engine spider simulator. The free IBP trial has a fully functional spider simulator that gives you an opportunity to see your web pages through the eyes of a search engine.

(2) Check for “Noindex” in the Meta settings:If you add NOINDEX in your meta tag settings it means you do not want bots to indexed your website at all.

So, make sure they are not included in the tag and if included then remove it.

(3) Your web pages may contain spam elements:
If your site contains a unit of spam element it is capable of destroying all your SEO work. If you make use “hidden text” or other spam elements on your web page then many search engines will not list your web site, no matter how great its content might be.
If you use white text on a white background, text in invisible CSS elements or similar elements that might be interpreted as spam then you should remove these elements as soon as possible. It will be difficult to get high rankings if your web pages contain spam elements.

Only Submitting your web site to search engines is not just enough. If you want to get high rankings you must make sure that search engine spiders can access your web pages without problems.

Finally, make sure that search engine spiders finds out the right content on your web pages and your site must have enough inbound links.

Note: use the IBP program to help make your website more prominent on the search engines.

(4) Site de-indexation:

This literally means that search engines stop to index your website and even delete the ones that have been indexed afore time. This problem may be as a result of your website accommodating so many spam contents, regular changing of your url, publishing of fake articles and that are irrelevant.

(5) Copy/paste or contents:

I believe we all know what this means, you continue posting others person’s articles directly without acknowledging the real owner, and you expect your website to be indexed how will that work, i can assure you that if you continue that way your website will later get banned and you will loose your website and your work will turn to a waist.

If more than a URL on the same website are linking to multiple pages with the same contents then you may likely have a duplicate content issue affecting your site

So make sure all your contents are original or unique.

Find and delete all duplicates on your web site then you will see the changes on how search engines will start indexing your site.
