| site not listed on google I recently changed hosting companies and I read somewhere that Google didn't like a site being hosted at two places at the same time, that this could cause not getting indexed. I also somehow had some meta crap in my code, it got in there from using a template, which stated something like meta="robots" NOINDEX. The other day I read that this will keep the spiders from listing one's site. I've since taken this out. How can I straighten this mess out? I don't want to keep submitting because I read that this could be bad news. Before moving it, at one time, my site had a third page listing on Google. Now it has no listing.

Removing the noindex stuff was a good move, if you have IBLs from sites in the Google index Google (and other SEs) will find you and your site will get into the index surprisingly quickly. Google did recently find a very broad patent that hinted they may be using a lot of age related information. If you have an existing domain name then this shouldn't cause much in the way of problems but it may cause issues for new domains (if indeed Google does any of the stuff they talk about).

Spiders will go anywhere they're able by default, you only waste space by telling them to do what they naturally do anyway.

I have read several articles saying that the meta tags in general are no good anymore. I can't remember the name, but there is maybe one major SE still identifying meta tags, according to various articles. I found these articles while doing a google search for 'meta tags', I believe. Thanks for the help guys... |

Google, Yahoo, and MSN put the meta description on the SERP if it is available. You can't cheat and try to put keywords in the description, though -- Google, for example, doesn't appear to index the description. RFM |
