Subject: Googlebot admin error

My site had disappeared from google and on my Google webmaster tools
page is says:

1. There is a web crawl error (Unreachable URLs) for the home page on
5th August 2007.

2. Home page crawl: Googlebot last successfully accessed your home
page on Aug 15, 2007.

So why has google not reindexed my site and put it back in google?

Is this an admin error or the googlebot working with no logic.

I have resubmitted the site to google and resubmitted the sitemap.
What else can I do to get my site back in Google?

Dude - am I missing something? Your site is in Google.

http://www.google.com.au/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2...

Are you meaning that some specific pages aren't showing for searches?
If so, please let us know which ones you are worried about.

Cheers,

Matt

Yes there are some pages left in google but most of the are not there
anymore for example the index page. If you search google for the
following text which is on our index page "New Theories tested at an
undisclosed island in the South Pacific yield data which is used to
develop military grade sonic weapons" it doesn't bring up our index
page. (It only brings up index3.asp which was generated by a traffic
generation program to be a permutation of the first page to get more
search engine traffic.)

Aha.. now we're on to something - a traffic generation program?

Could it be that you've duped yourself out of existence?

Think about it this way - as I see it, you've only got nine incoming
links to your site - 1 of those goes to your index3.asp page - and
it's your highest PR incoming link.

https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dh...

Google is looking at your site and going 'hey, these all look the
bloody same - what's the go? I'd better pick the best one', so, bammo,
the majority of your other pages end up in the supplemental index.

You simply don't have the pagerank to support all these 'generated
content' pages - and if people do choose to link to your site, they're
linking to one of the gazillions of generated pages which means that
PR is going to be spread very thinly amongst individual pages rather
than being consolidated in one place.

Be VERY VERY careful with those programs - redirect all of the
'traffic generator' (hehe) pages back to your index page using a 301
(although that's going to be a bit difficult because you have asp-
itis) - consolidate your PR.

Hi nick_of_london,

As doc pointed out with a search for [site:dharma-research.com], your
site is currently indexed by Google, including the home page.

I believe you'd benefit from reading Google's Webmaster Guidelines,
which offer advice on making your site good for Google and your
visitors:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769

Specifically, I'd like to call out a couple of points from the Quality
Guidelines section:
- Avoid hidden text or hidden links.
- Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with
substantially duplicate content.

To make sure that Google properly understands and ranks pages, we
recommend that webmasters show the same content to users and search
engines. At the bottom of your pages, I noticed some text that is
hidden from users. Here's a small snippet from your homepage:
"Dharma Initiative Hanso Foundation Lost T-Shirt Tshirt T Shirt 4 8 15
16 23 42 Alvar Hanso ghost ghosts spirit form spirit forms spirits
phantom phantoms"

Looking at the site: search of your site, I saw several pages: index
2.asp, index3.asp , index4.asp, etc, that all appeared to have the
same content, and as part of a traffic generation program, were
created with the intent of manipulating search engine rankings.

As these practices violate our guidelines, they could have a harmful
effect on how your site is indexed and ranked in Google. It looks like
you've already taken a positive step in addressing these issues
(presumably under doc's advice regarding duplicate content), as the
duplicate pages I found in the site: search are now showing a 404
status. Once you believe your site does follow our guidelines, feel
free to file a reconsideration request in Webmaster Tools:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35843

Cheers,
Wysz
