Seeking help to get listed on Google

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 08.2004

Hi

I’m needing help and advice to get my dating website listed on Google. I bought the dating website on Ebay, and have found that the previous owner had bought the domain name from a domain clearing company. Apparently the the domain had expired and it now has been re-activated for my website, by the person that I bought the website on Ebay, from. I’ve heard from a colleague that it will be very hard to now get the website listed on google because it had previously lapsed before. Need feedback if this is true? And if so, how can I get it back up listed on google? I’m listed on all of the other major search engines, but can’t get the website on google. Would really appreciate any feedback or support with this situation

Your going to want to look at getting local sites to link to your site... What are your plans for Promotion?

Are you willing to pay google there fee to index the site?

I would be interested in seeing the site and what you accually got on Ebay. Please feel free to contact me and I'll see what I can do to get you going.

@alexscot45authorJul 10.2004 — Thanks for your reply Pete. The URL for my dating website is at http://www.ezmatchfinder.com I'm in the process of making some design changes to it. I have had a number of google ranking 6 websites linking to it. After 2 months, I've still not been listed on google. With other websites, that I link with, that have a high google ranking, I normally get the new websites listed on google within a couple of days. Definately not happening for EZmatchfinder.com Guess I'll have to consider paying google to index the website. Never had to do that before. Still think the problem is because of the domain name, situation.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts Thanks for your great assistance with this matter

@Compguy_PeteJul 11.2004 — Well your keywords are much to long... Keep it to 25 words or less.

I didnt go though them all that much so far but I would put money on the fact you have words repeated which will reject your site from being indexed.

A note about your design... I think that HUGE block of text is unreadable. As in I have no interest in reading a huge block of text you should consider bullets and other highlights. Vs. that ugly mess you would call an introduction.

@LorelAug 06.2004 — Hi Axelscot45

My first impression when visiting your site was you need to turn off Flash because search engines can't read what is in it (which I assume was your site name, etc.) and too many people (like myself) find Flash extremely annoying and turn it off.

Also you have too much data on the home page and it needs to be broken up like someone else said.

Also move the chart of most viewed pages to another page and just provide a link to it.

Also anything that is in images search engines can't read so check your page with images turned off and you will see what search engines see.

Also anytime you have more than one column on the page the search engine will pick up what's in left column first, i.e., your menu. To force it to pick up the main column of introductory text, make the first column only 1 pixel high and make 2nd column with a rowspan="2" then put your menu in column 1 row 2.

You can check this by doing a site check in google:

site:www.yourdomain.com

if your menu shows up first then follow the instructions above.

However as someone else also stated, getting backlinks is the fastest way to get a good rank in Google. The best optimized site in the world still won't rank well without them.

Success!
