I have a little problem here.

Google is not caching some of my sites, for example: www.trafficforless.com

I track Google movement via Spidermatic and I realised that Google visited my site on 15 and 23 of April.

When I check my listing in Google, they are still not caching my site and I don't even see my site's description in the listing.

It's strange. This site is PR5, it has 40+ backlinks but it is not caching.

Furthermore, I used to be top 3 in my keywords but now it's not even in top 20.

I think there's something wrong here. I've check out a number of resources and I have no idea.

Any help?

maybe they don't like the comment spam links in every page.

Hi Chris,

Are you referring to the right box where I have links and it is shown on every page?

No

There is a collection of links to some sites, some of which I would definitely not be linking to. with a heading of "Recommended" which is then hidden inside comments tags.

As a spam technique it is pretty ineffectual these days but may well earn you a penalty. Now there may well be an innocent reason for this (as with all techniques) but to an automated algo it is very likely to cause a red flag to be raised and the site be subject to a manual viewing and action may be taken.

I just did a quick site:http://www.trafficforless.com on Google and it reports 24 pages it has found for your site. So at least you know it has indexed some (or all?) of your pages.

I've also just tried to visit your site but it seems to be down?

Thanks for your help. I think I will revamp my links page.

pencer, my site is working. It's not down.

Any other advice for my sites?

And, what do you think about this service: www.powerlinks.com

automated link exchange! simply another term for a link farm

D**M, I think my www.trafficforless.com has dropped from PR5 to PR0!!!

I think my changes came too late.

Can someone help me check if my site is OK now?

And, the funny thing is that my site still tops in Yahoo and MSN. Is there a reason why?

yep looking like you're on the way out. Probably brought down by the link farm scheme you seem to be involved in judging by the massive amounts of outbound links you have in the supplemental index.

site:search

fourth or fifth site I've seen disappear for a similar issue this month.

Now I've removed almost everything except a links page. I hope this time it would be OK for Google.

Is there any way for me to get Google to reindex my site again?

Your just gonna have to wait to get another index

Get an incoming link for a Page Rank 7+ site and you'll be indexed within a few hours for sure.

Buy links?

You have going to have to wait it out. Remove everything related to the reciprocal link farm. Not just some of it, but all of it and see if it picks back up. It will take a long while One site I know of has taken a year to recover from a similar issue.

take a lesson from this thread . This is the current state of the site.

Your site also looks to be going the same route.

Linking schemes have been the main target of Google since the update in February. Many have been blitzed out of existence and more will be as the "footprints" of each one are targetted.

You refer to nkthen.com, but I'm referring to trafficforless.com

OK, I'm removing all of them.

Yes I am aware which site is your main issue, simply pointing out that the other site looks to be heading the same way.

Guilty by association is the thinking at google on link farm issues. Who links to you shouldn't harm your site, Who you link to definitely can.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate.

I think I want to be on safer side. I'm submitting my websites to all the directories that Pawan listed. No more links exchange for the time being, till everything is resolved.

That should help right?

This is strange.

One of the website, hoprinting.com was not cached by Google, just like TrafficForLess.com

I did the same things on both sites: Remove any linkfarms, outgoing links, submitted to all the directories, making it 'clean' for Google to index.

Hoprinting.com gets caching by Google but not TrafficForLess.com. Is there any other reasons why?
