Subject: index question
Hello,

My site was submitted over and month ago but has not been indexed.
I have not received a message from Google.

Was it penalized?
Would they notify me if it was?
Is it not good to run banner ads on the site?

I have been successful at indexing other sites that are built the same
way.

Any ideas? Help?

Thanks

Got a link?

Personally, I don't run ads until a site is of a certain age and a
certain level of traffic and then only run ads on pages that have been
published for a while, if I use ads at all, but as far as Google is
concerned, it shouldn't make a difference unless the ads are
implemented in such a way so as to look like they are trying to
influence search engines.

But, if you have other sites with the same types of ads, I don't see
why you should be having trouble with a new one, due to ads alone
anyway.

A link to the site in question might help to have a better idea
though.  :-)

Hi Mike,

An inital glance of your site tells me -

1. There are no unique titles for your pages. The title remains the
same no matter which page
one is visiting.
2. Every page has same <h1> tags.
3. Content for each page is same in the beginning and the end.

I get the feeling of being in the same page no matter which link I
click.

Regards
Ranjana

Hi Mike,

I took a brief look at your site, and I have to admit I am a little
confused by its purpose. Is it an informational site on coin
collecting? If so, I would spend some time reworking the content a
bit. Specifically, I would avoid writing nonsensical content on every
page. For example:

http://www.rarecoins-oc.info/index.cfm
"RareCoins-OC.info can help rare coin collector, rare coins, rarecoins
info, coins, coin, coins." and 3 paragraphs below that "Here at
rarecoins-oc.info we specialize in rare coin collector, rare coins,
rarecoins info, coins, coin, coins."

http://www.rarecoins-oc.info/UScoins.cfm
"Here at rarecoins-oc.info we specialize in rare coin, coin, coins, US
coins, United States Coins." and some parts even look like a copy of
content found at http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/coin_investing.htm

http://www.rarecoins-oc.info/ForeignCoins.cfm
"Here at rarecoins-oc.info we specialize in foreign coin, collecting
foreign coins, rare coins, rare, foreign, coins." and again some parts
of the content look like a copy of content at
http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/world_coins.htm.

The remaining two pages that I looked at are very similar to the above
examples. So if the site's purpose is indeed to provide information
about coin collecting I would focus on writing new, unique, and useful
content. By doing this other webmasters will be more likely to link to
you and that will increase you chance of getting your site indexed.

Also, if you haven't already, I would register your site in Google's
Webmaster Console (http://www.google.com/webmasters/ ) and submit a
sitemap. Finally, I would review Google's Webmaster Guidelines
( http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=3...
).

I would recommend following the same advice for the sites in your
other posts too ( http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/browse_...
), except I would start by reviewing the Webmaster Guidelines.

I hope that helps!
