Some Issues Affecting Rank of Websites On Google
In the past couple of months a lot of developments have taken place in the SEO fraternity. Google has been behaving quite differently and this has affected the way websites rank on Google. To get you a comprehensive idea on the latest issues, we bring together some major points.
• Google Canonical Issues: For sometime time now it has been noticed that Google treats mysite.com, www.mysite.com, and site.com/index.html as different web sites, the ill effect of this process has been that such pages are treated by Google as different web pages with same content and these pages are penalized for the above fact. This is being considered as a basic indexing issue with Google’s spider- something that they have been unable to resolve.
• Google Sandbox Effect: We already know that a new website cannot be seen on the SERPs (Search engine Result Pages) as Google does not include them in the ranking index for a specified period of time thinking that the website having a large number of pages cannot be created in a short span of time and the links that it has cannot be natural and are either spam or paid. So Google puts the website under the sandbox penalty to ensure that the website is a genuine source and monitors the website till it finally starts to show it in the results. We however cannot be sure how long that may take.
• Supplemental Page Issues: After the Big Daddy roll out the supplement page issue became a night mare of all webmasters. it was noticed that big names were hit by this supplement page problem where 1,00,000’s of pages were put into the supplement index which was like burying the websites alive. The credit to this also goes to the Canonical Issues which Google failed to resolve, to add to the problem, it is seen that duplicate content in the form of News feeds and RSS, to cover the stories also leads to supplement pages. The key lies in original content and well optimizes pages and solutions….. Get Going!
