Google De-Listed Some of My Sites |
|
Tuesday, 07 August 2007 |
I have a few sites which are considered to be content aggregators by myself. They pull content from varioius RSS feeds, and apparently Google has started hating them. I went from having 12,500 pages indexed collectively to none overnight.
I removed the Text Link Ads from those sites, since Google apparently doesn't like them, and submitted a reinclusion request for each. Although the content may seem to be duplicate, my aggregators serve a purpose, especially Freebies From Across the Internet, which grabs freebies from all over the internet and puts them into one convienient, searchable (used to be searchable through Google custom search) place. Go ahead and check that one out.
While I will admit that a couple of them were somewhat spammy due to some of the sources they pulled from, I really feel it was unfair that G pulled these pages. When I set some of them up, I had the intention of doing Blackhat SEO, but instead they all were a shade of grey, except for the freebies site which was legit and good (I got a free HD Audio fiber cable from it recently)...What am I going to do? One or more of the following:
- Beg you for inlinks to Freebies From Across the Internet (You would have my eternal thanks)
- Try to get these sites pages' more indexed by MSN and Yahoo (they already are in there, just not many)
- Try to get G to relist at least one of these sites (Working on it, will tell you how that goes)
- Mirror the content on a different domain
- Any combo of the above
Oh well...whatever the case I have to work now. I have a funny - the control arm broke on the service truck, and I held a floor jack as we carefully backed the thing out of the shop...what a sight!
