Written by General Seo on Jun 8th, 2011 | Filed under: Seo Tools
I use wordpress for my blog, and I had sitelinks showing in google search results, but now it doesn’t show in the results but webmaster tools shows it to me.
I use all in one seo plugin, maybe it has something to do with this.
what’s the problem? any ideas, please help.
thanks.
Hi 677,
It is good that you are using the All In One SEO plug-in, and using Google Webmaster Tools. This helps Google decide how to index your site. It could still take a few days for a new site to show up in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) though.
Google can be fickle sometimes. It is not uncommon to have your website show on the first page of Google one day, and then on page "103" of the results the next. This is known as the "Google Dance".
In order to see what links Google has in it’s index for your site, try this trick:
In the Google search box, enter site:yoursiteurl. So if your site was googleshoes.com, you would enter
site:googleshoes.com.
This will show every URL that Google has in it’s index for googleshoes.com.
You can add a keyword search here too. So for example, you could enter the following:
red shoes site:googleshoes.com, and this will show what links Google has for the googleshoes.com site using the keywords "red shoes".
Lastly, if after doing this Google returns no information at all, it could mean that Google has not had enough time to index your site, or your site is "de-indexed" for some reason. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about this except to create valuable content and making sure your site has good SEO.
Good luck.
Probably it’s a google dance. That happens from time to time so a website disappears from the results. But there are some methods how to quickly fix it and get your site back to the results (not public discussion).
For the moment you can track your SEO ranking positions and find out where your website is now and which positions.
