      Hi all,

      When I put "site:bettingexchange.it" on www.google.it in the SERP it's NOT showed the HOMEPAGE "bettingexchange.it". Google starts with other pages lik "bettingexchange.it/siti/".

      It's the first time I see something like this, How is it possibile?
      How can I reintroduce the homepage?

        I just checked it myself, and It is in fact showing up for me...

        So if you are concerned that the homepage isn't indexed, it is.

          Thanks Aaron.

          It's a mystery why I don't see it but now I'm more quiet, thanks.

            It shows up at the top for me on Google UK and Google Italy. Are you searching without personalisation?

            Have you checked your Analytics to make sure there hasn't been a drop in traffic for the homepage? You could also see if you have any messages in Google WMT that might point to potential problems.

              Hi Alex,

              you are right, It happens only when I have the personalization with 100 results. With default, 10 results, the homepage come back at the first place. Is it normal?

              Btw: No message in Google WMT and Yes I receive traffic.

                It can happen, based on your past searches and clicks.

                I always search in Google Chrome Incognito mode while not logged into anything. You can also turn off personalisation: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/54048?hl=en

                  • My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.
