As of today, the new affiliate website I was telling you about a few weeks ago was finally indexed by Google. If you remember, the reason Google didn’t index earlier was because it received over one thousand links pointing to it in a very short period of time. Google considered that as a spam tactic. It eventually took me nearly two months to rectify the issue and in this post I will explain exactly what I did to get the website indexed.
First of all, I did away with all of the blog posts that were showing on every page of the blog due to the “recent comment” widget. This widget shows approximately five recent comments, so what I did was add five comments myself, without any links pointing to my website and hence the comment that had my website link was automatically pushed off the list. At the time I implemented this measure my website had over 1300 backlinks from just these blogs, according to Yahoo site explorer.
After this, I added two new content pages to the website and bookmarked them to get them indexed. As I expected, they were indexed in Yahoo and MSN but Google was still ignoring my website. At that time my website statistics in Yahoo site explorer looked like this:
Over 1300 backlinks and 3 web pages indexed in Yahoo. As you can see, the amount of backlinks continued to grow as it would obviously take some time for the search engine spiders to crawl the thousands of blog pages and eventually “see” that they don’t link to my website anymore. Over the next few weeks the number of backlinks decreased dramatically.
Finally, I have sent a request to Google via their webmaster tool and requested my website be reconsidered for indexing. I explained to them what had happened and what exactly I did to solve the problem. Several weeks passed, until finally this morning I launched my position checking tool and was very pleased to see that the website has indeed been indexed in Google for almost all my main keywords:
In conclusion I would like to add that I am unsure whether my website was indexed because of my request to Google for reconsideration, or because the number of backlinks which caused the original problem had decreased steadily over the last few weeks. Anyway, I am delighted the website is indexed and I can say with total confidence that posting blog comments for links building is a very powerful method. However, if not done properly, it can cause lots of problems for your website, as you well know from my experience.
By the way, you can find a huge “dofollow” blog archive by following the link: dofollow blogs
