Default Bad site - 01-22-2008 , 07:30 AM






I've got a site - and in google sitemaps it says Googlebot last
successfully accessed your home page on 26-May-2007.


It's got links from other sites, blogs - so why doesn't google visit?

A google site search shows no results. The search term holidayunder100 gives
loads of links which I would call spammy, but not your actual site. First
one I've seen for ages, but I wonder if google has sand boxed you.

Oh, that one's easy. Load up the home page at http://www.holidayunder100.co..uk/
and find the "Click here for Thomson Holidays". Put your mouse
pointer over it, and note that the status line at the bottom of the
page _doesn't_ tell you you're going to Thomson Holidays. In fact, it
doesn't change - the link is cloaked.

OK. So right-click and "Copy Shortcut"

Then load http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html and do a paste into
the input URL. You'll find it actually contained
http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-2429116-10292954 and not Thomson at
all. Click on submit.

First a 302:

Location:·http://www.apmebf.com/9t82birq8/ipu/...8A8F77C/6/6/6?
p=v%3c%3cu662%3A%2F%2F999.n04q1rC45.0r6%3ALDLD%

And then another 302, and another 302, etc.

It's quite simply a fraudulent site and Google was absolutely bang on
to exclude it.

(And the Thomson link you finally wind up at gives a 404.)

What browser are you using? In both firefox and IE I can see the code
link - it's not hidden - there is code in there to supposedly stop the
urls showing but it doesn't work - so I can remove that anyway
*but* the thomson link is a fairly new addition so not there back in
may when googlebot visited.

I get to thomson without a 404 using the link as an actual click.

Me too. I couldn't understand what Phil was on about either. I assumed
you had quickly changed it as I saw no cloaked link, no 404 no 302's etc.

Have you checked the history of the domain? Has it been in use before?
Expired perhaps? Interesting problem (for me, worrying for you, no doubt).

Jez.

I've removed the affil link from the main page and validated it so the
code is fine.
The affil link through the site he mentioned didn't seem to get where
it should but did in real life on two browsers that I checked this
morning.

I did wonder if it was an expired one but found nothing when I looked
- it is interesting to me too - def want to know why.
I put a sitemap on it and added that to google but to no avail.

Try removing the

Social Bookmark Script
* @ Version 1.4
* @ Copyright (C) 2006 by Alexander Hadj Hassine - All rights reserved

and see what happens.

There is a title, an <h1> and then reams of social bookmark script to
wade through before hitting any actual content. I would get rid of it
and see if google likes it then. You can always add it back if no
progress is made - it's not exactly going to be beneficial with no
visitors anyway.

best,

Jez.

Just not google.
