Why is our page not visible in Google-ranking? www.loseweight.com.

[gewi]

using Wordpress as platform. Using the URL gets into the site,- but seems to be non-existent for public... No comments at all, seems to  be "invisible"?

If I search site:loseweight.com on Google, your site is indexed.

However, your site looks to be a duplicate of diet.com. The search engines generally frown upon duplicate content. If diet.com has been up for a long time and this copy of the site just went up, the search engines will view diet.com as the authoritative source for that content and not view loseweight.com as the authority.

Can you give us a little more background about the site and the duplication with diet.com?

Hello, and thanks for your comment.  None of the content is duplicated from diet.com.But the site idea is based on accumulating/finding good ideas and tips and gather them for helping people to avoid quick-fix weight-reduction programs, and instead back up by research and good articles.

2 articles are there with the permission of the author, can that be the problem?

Another possible problem: All  (7) posts are also put into a Page -and (absloutely unintentionally) duplicated? Can that be the problem?

The site is about 6 months, little has been done last 3-4 months, as we were overwhelmde by spam. Put in a couple weeks ago an anti-spam widget,- and after that ZERO comments, zero recognition! ?

We would be very grateful if you could go to our site (rather small) and see if any evident basic problems?

I wonder if you're seeing something different on your end. When I view that site, I see an exact copy of diet.com, with all of the source code being identical.

Thanks for the links, - it gave me additional insight - even though I feel a little bit "lost in the jungle" - getting somewhat technicl. And I who thought Wordpress was straightforward!

As I have (when in the startup porcess) put all the 7 Posts into a Page- should i then start that page with the Html: http://www.loseweight.com/canonical-version-of-page/" rel="canonical" />?

WOW! Now I´m really confused!  I just went toWordpress,found a Theme ("SWIFT", and have gathered information from different sources which I have (in 2 cases) copied - with permission- and (in 5 cases) transformed as my own articles/information. And from there simply tried to make a structure with Pages and Posts. To be honest; I dont even know exactly what a source code means....

I have absolutely no clue how this can coincide with diet.com!? Possbile to find any explanation??

Here's what the site loseweight.com looks like in my browser. Did you mis-type the URL perhaps?

I searched the name from your profile along with the words lose weight, and I think I found the problem. Are you actually asking about loseweight-longterm.com ? I think we were all looking at the wrong website.
