      Our client website was removed from Google index. Anybody could recommend how to speed up process of re index:

      • Webmaster tools done
      • SM done  (Twitter, FB)
      • sitemap.xml  done
      • backlinks in process
      • PPC done
      • Robots.txt is fine

      Guys any recommendations are welcome,  client is very unhappy.

      Thank you

        Getting G+'s on fresh QUALITY content is one of the best ways to quick index with Google in my opinion these days.

        Just a suggestion, I would NEVER noindex an indexed site just because of content changes.

        make a clone, point the domain using vhost, temporarily to a subdirectory make your changes then re-point domain in vhost (or if cpanel just use a pointer) - This way no one is the wiser to the changes INCLUDING Google.

        Or just make the changes, the ramificatrions of noindex are much more long lasting than a content change (unless it was left in shambles for weeks)

          Thank you, I already done G+. Regarding noindex, no follow I completely agree, we had no other choice.  Thank you again.

            When I search new homes developer st modwen in Google.com (no quote marks & I'm in the UK), this page from your site is at No3 and your homepage is at No4.

            When I search st modwen homes, you're at No1. I'm no expert, but that doesn't look like being de-indexed to me.

            Or do you simply mean your rankings for the term new homes developer have dropped?

            Also, I don't understand this:  _buit we had no other option client was changing content on live site, so we had to noindex, nofollow. _

              HaHa - did not even check, yeah you are indexed... recent though, no cache on some of the pages has been created yet, so prob within a week?

              Homepage was crawled on April 25th

                Just an aside - you're going to have indexation issues - you have both www and non-www versions live on the site, with no canonicals pointing to one version. You also have index.php as a live page linked to from the logo. I'd definitely recommend implementing canonical tags across the site.

                Mark

                  What do you mean you had no other choice? What forced you to add these tags to your client's site?! Because they were updating it?

                  ...uhh.. This thread is bizarre. Anyway sounds like all of it was a non-issue. Mark is absolutely correct about your real issue though. Get some redirects in there asap.
