A client site will not show in Google.. yet all the indicators are there that says it should. Its a plain vanilla html site very similar to many others I've done that Google is happy with... guaranteed spam free.
Can anyone interpret the following:
1) New site online at end Feb/early Mar 03.
2)Between Mar 19th and May 10th, site has received 2 deepbot visits (216.*) and 2 freshbot visits (64.*). Deepbot has visited all pages, whereas Freshbot only visited the robots.txt and index.htm
3) There are at least 3 links coming in from other site page and those pages seem to have had Google visits.
4) A search on just the word "domainname" results in 3 pages + a page URL minus title (out of 8 possible)
5) Search on "domainname.COM" and we get" Sorry, no information is available for the URL domainname.com"
OK.... so lets try WWW2 and -sj and see if it looks different over there. No such luck... the "domainname" search results now have no titles at all and the "domainname.com" search still gets "Sorry, no information is available for the URL domainname.com"
I've not known Google to take +- 10 weeks to pass a new site into the index and I can't interpret what these results mean. The site shows a white PR bar. Can anyone translate for me?
TIA
It got a white bar for a reason.
Here is an extract from a knowledgeable poster explaining the bar colours.
A white bar means the page doesn't have any PR. If a page had nice PR then suddenly gets a white bar it could mean a penalty. Usually white bars just mean there are not enough pages with PR linking to that page to give it any, but it is in the database. Really deep pages of a site are likely to have a white PR bar.
I'm pretty certain this is the case here, being a new site that has not yet accumulated any PR. The part I don't understand is why after 10 or more weeks and multiple bot visits, the site is still out of the index.
One of the pages linking to it is a PR5 which should be enough to get its PR kick-started.
And if www2 or -sj are indicators of the next results, then nothing is going to change then either.
Have you monitored PR on pages indexed for this site, every cycle? The site may have had some "assumed" PR, and then the PR was corrected as Google mapped the "backlinks".
Also, although it's nice to have PR5 pages pointing at your site, they mean little if the page is also pointing at 99 other external sites.
