Home page not indexed by any search engines

[bcglf]

We are currently having an issue with our homepage not being indexed by any search engines. We recently transferred our domain to Godaddy and there was an issue with the DNS.

When we typed our url into Google like this "https://www.mysite.com" nothing from the site came up in the search results, only our social media profiles.

When we typed our url into Google like this "mysite.com" we were sent to a GoDaddy parked page.

We've been able to fix the issue over at Godaddy and the url "mysite.com" is not being redirected to "https://mysite.com" but, Google and the other search engines have yet to respond. I would say our fix has been in place for at least 72 hours.

Do I need to give this more time? I would think that at lease one search engine would have picked up on the change by now and would start indexing the site properly.

Well, it could take some time, yes. 72 hours isn't that long. However, I'd suggest you verify your site on GWT and then use the Fetch as Googlebot to scrape your page and verify that Google is actually seeing the correct page. Then you can click submit to index and select the option that says something like "this and all linked pages". That should help getting your site re-crawled and re-indexed faster.

Make sure all your possible url versions are correctly redirected via a 301 the the correct version. http://www.site.com - > https://site.com, etc.

Hope that helps!

Yes, I did all of that in GWT already. I'm waiting for Google to re-index my site at this point.

Last week our domain was transferred to Godaddy and somehow, someway the zone file went missing or was corrupt. After that I discovered the redirects that were happening:

http://mysite.com 301 redirect to http://www.mysite.com

http://www.mysite.com 302 redirect to https://www.mysite.com

I'm still unsure if these were the issues. I'm waiting on networks admins to fix the 302 since that is currently being handled by the firewall.

There might be another problem in the given case. Your domain might have been banned by google. Insert in google site:mysite.com - do you see any results?

[bcglf]

Since we have fixed the error over at GoDaddy Google has re crawled and re indexed the site. Everything is working properly right now.

I was actually very concerned about it being a penalty but the other pages of our site were still indexed so I counted that out.

You'll want to verify your site in Google Webmaster Tools, so you can get notices from Google of possible penalties, and a lot of other information about your site. Bing also has some good webmaster tools, too.

Yes, the site is verified in Google Webmaster Tools, I did not receive any messages regarding penalties.

Thanks
