Why did Google stop indexing my site?

[JillB2013]

Google used to crawl my site every few minutes.

Suddenly it stopped and the last week it indexed 3 pages out of thousands.

https://www.google.co.il/#q=site:www.yetzira.com&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:w&sa=X&ei=I9aTUfTTCaKN0wX5moCgAw&ved=0CBgQpwUoAw&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=cfac44f10e55f418&biw=1829&bih=938

What could cause this to happen and how can I solve this problem?

Thanks!

Have you claimed the site in Google Webmaster Tools? If not, I suggest doing so at http://www.google.com/webmasters and then you will be able to see if Google has encountered any errors lately and/or you can change the crawl rate if necessary.

Streamline Metrics is correct. Add it to webmaster tools and see what they say. Also, how is your link profile? Any spammy links?

[JillB2013]

I have a lot of 404 errors which appear in Google Webmaster Tools but don't appear on my site anymore.

About a month ago I had a problem with Wordpress permalinks and for about 10 hours my posts were crawled under a slightly different URL. During that time many posts were crawled and therefore existed under 2 different URLs. I have since fixed the problem but since Google hasn't really come back to crawl so the errors still appear.

[JillB2013]

My link profile contains natural links only. I have never asked for a link or even exchanged links with anyone.

About 4 years ago my site was hacked and the hackers linked to the content that they inserted in my forum. I have since erased the forum and disavowed the links even though over the years the spammy sites stopped linking to me anyway since their content was removed. This was a long time ago anyway so I don't think it is relevant.

I don't have that many links although the ones I have all linked to me because I have unique content.

My bounce rate has always been around 1%. My users seem to enjoy my content and spend time on my site. My rankings also went down very much since Google stopped crawling. I can't work out why.

It's indexed in Google.com

https://www.google.com/#output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=site:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yetzira.com&oq=site:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yetzira.com&gs_l=hp.3..0i10j0l3.1062.2187.0.2266.6.6.0.0.0.0.376.1539.2-3j2.5.0...0.0...1c.1.12.psy-ab.n5ejsvFaOBA&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.46471029,d.bmk&fp=eb2558ff5842e1aa&biw=1920&bih=937

you should geotarget for www.google.co.il

what's up with all of this code that goes on forever in your source

It is indexed but the problem is that most of the indexed pages are outdated and the new ones haven't been crawled.

I would LOVE to know whats up with all of that code. I have been trying to uncover that with no success.... I have no idea where it comes from but also no idea how to find out

[NatanValencia]

I'm sure that you checked yet:

-No important directory is blocked from robots.txt

-The robots.txt detected through Google Webmaster Tools match with the actual file robots.txt  (i recently haved a trouble with that)

-New pages are well linked from home

-New pages are in sitemaps.xml with good priority and a dayly update

Share the content imediately with Google plus, it helps!

I cannot be sure, but maybe if Google was much time crawling your site without finding changes, decided to crawl it less frequently

Good Luck!

[irvingw]

you can fetch google in WMT and googlebot will recrawl

[irvingw]

it looks like you figured out what that weird code was? I don't see it in the source code anymore.

[NatanValencia]

Maybe Jill removed it yet at your suggestion

[JillB2013]

It turned out that it was caused by Google Page Speed. They told me that it was fine and nothing to worry about but I just disabled it due to server issues and I guess that is what made the code disappear...
