Help!!! Website won't index after taking it over from another IT Company

[nimblerdigital]

Hi,

A while back we took over a website that was built in Wordpress. We rebuilt it on another platform and switched the servers over whilst retaining the same domain.I had access to the old GA Account however so did the old IT company. Therefore I created a new GA account and used that in the new website pages.Recently we found the website had been blacklisted (previous to us taking it over) and now after being crawled a lot, only 2 pages have been indexed (over a 2month period).We have submitted a request for revision (to relist the website) buthave had no movement.**Just wondering if having a old, active account that was still linked to their old website would affect our Google listing?****Will dropping the old GA Tracking code/script into the site and deleting the new account enable Google to index?**Also, there is ample content, metadata and descriptions on the site.I welcome any help on this please!

The presence or absence of a new/old Analytics account associated with a site will have no effect on its indexing, one way or the other, Johann.

What do you mean when you say the old site was "blacklisted"? Do you mean it had a manual penalty applied? (As would be specified in Google Webmaster Tools). Or do you mean the domain had been marked as unsafe due to malware? Or that the domain's email servers were blacklisted?

To me, (without knowing the details of the "blacklisting") if the site is being crawled but not indexed, it sounds like there may be a noindex metarobots tag or header, or some other blocking issue. Hard to give much more info unless you can give us the site's URL.

Can you fill us in on what you mean by "blacklisted"?

Also interested in what you mean by blacklisted. Can you provide a url as well?
