Why my iweb website is no longer getting indexed by google?

I have had my website for 2 years and it was showing up on google with no problems. Now my site is not showing up on google and I dont know why.
I have verified the site, I have resubmitted the URL. I have requested reconsideration, but I just need to know why my site that stop showing up on google.
.Google mention that .mac blocks googlebots from indexing the site. What should I do to fix this probelm. (url:www.noticemagazine.com)

In order for search engines to find your site you need to have text content. They don't know what your site is about if there is no text content on it. I have went through your site and you should do the following;
1) Get ride of your "click here to enter site" page (the Welcome_.html page)
Never EVER use your default page in this way. This is called a splash page and provides no value to your visitors since they need an additional click to find your page and it provides no indication to search engines about what your site is all about. Your default page is the most important page on your site, use it to link to the most important pages on your website and to have your important keywords.
2) Your title tags NEED to have your most important keywords
Your title tags (what you see at the top of your browser) need to have your most important keywords . They should be 60-120 characters long, unique for every single page and describe what your page is all about. This is one of the most important things for search engines. Not only do they use this to learn about your website content but its also what users will see when your site is listed in Google's result. Do you think someone will click a link called 'Welcome' when they do a search in Google, or "Notice Magazine: Lifestyle and Fashion Advice" (for example).
3) You need more text content
All of your pages are mostly images, you need more content that search engines can properly index. Imagine you were searching for text in a Word Document and it was just an image, you wouldn't find anything. This is basically what Google does too. Most of your text has been converted to images because you use non standard fonts in iWeb. In iWeb, open the fonts palette, and select 'Web'. Stick to those fonts.
4) Link to other pages on your site using your keywords
You need to link between your pages on your site using keywords you want to be found with. Anchor text (the text you click to follow a link), is used by Google to rank your website. Tip: Do a search for click here in Google, look at the top result and notice that click here is not found anywhere on that page. Its because so many people link to that first result using the term 'click here'. (Its Adobe Reader's page for those that do not want to search).
5) Get a real domain name AND real hosting
MobileMe is NOT meant for commercial sites and should never be used for it. A real host with a real domain name (that includes your keywords) you will outrank the same website hosted in MobileMe (even with domain forwarding. Any kind of domain forwarding is not ideal for search engines because of how redirects are handled).
6) Create and submit an XML Sitemap file
Not only will this help with you rankings, Google/Yahoo/Bing provide a Webmaster Tools account that will provide feedback on why your site may not be in Google.
7) Speed up your website
You are using too many high quality images on your site which is making it extremely slow. Reduce the quality of your images and optimize your HTML/CSS/Javascript code so it loads faster. Not only does this provide a bad user experience for your visitors but Google will not index a slow loading page as much as a faster loading page. Also, Google announced just a few days ago that the speed of a website's load time WILL become an important ranking factor in the VERY NEAR future.
Having a real web host will help with the speed issue.
8) Redo your navigation bar using text and include your keywords in each link. iWeb's javascript navigation bar does not allow search engines to easily find all your pages on your site.
9) Get links from third party websites. Post on forums, use twitter, facebook, blogs and other social networking sites. Links from other websites are a very important factor for how well your website ranks.

  • Why is my website not showing up AT ALL in Google?

    I uploaded my website at the beginning of this week and it's working OK, but not showing up at all in Google.  It is not so much an SEO question, because even if I google the exact website, it still doesn't show.
    I have no idea what I did wrong, but I assume it's a meta data issue.  What should I have filled out in the HTML for <head> box?  It's blank now.
    Thanks!!!

    You didn't do anything wrong most likely. It takes time to get indexed. Could be months depending on how your site is optimized, your content and traffic you generate to it.

  • Why does the website bar no longer show on firefox and why am i no longer able to get a search engine and firefox symbol/logo on each tab i open.

    All the other versions of firefox used to have a website bar on the top and you used to be able to open a new tab and have multiple websites open at a time and on each one you opened get a firefox symbol/logo and a search engine or website bar however that's no longer the case I don't know if its the new version or not. I used to also be able to do a search and open multiple websites in multiple tabs however that's no longer the case I don't know if its a bug or if its something new with firefox or newer versions.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Can someone help explain why my iWeb website doesn't publish correctly...

    I'm a professor and I'm trying to build a professional website--nothing fancy, six or seven pages and perhaps a blog. The site I have built on iWeb looks wonderful in iWeb, but once I publish the site (GoDaddy is hosting it), various text boxes, fonts, and background shapes get randomly distorted. Moreover, the site has different errors when viewed on my iPad, when viewed on my Macbook in Safari, and when viewed on Macbook in Mozilla. From what I've been gathering, web developers don't like iWeb. I'm not a computer expert, so I like the usability of iWeb (I'm not using any of their prefab templates--that might be the problem). I just want the site that I've built in the program (which looks good) to actually publish correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it is just pointing to other software...
    Thanks!

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?   Also if you're considering some serious blogging I suggest you create your blog on one of the established blogging sites like Posterous, WordPress or Blogger. This will allow you to manage your blog from any computer anywhere and even from some mobile devices.  With an iWeb blog you must have a Mac and the domain.sites2 file used to create the site.
    Then you can embed that blog into one of your iWeb pages as shown on this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page

  • Why does some websites take a long time to load?

    so far i have found two websites that takes a very long time to load.
    and once they get there very little of the links or anything does not work
    they both work on IE but i hate that program and i would like to fix firefox but i do not know where to start

    After another restart, firefox has begun throwing errors when starting from terminal. the error reported is:
    /opt/kde/bin/skim: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    This is printed 5 times, then gives up and firefox loads quickly after. So this appears to be an issue with skim and libpng similar to other problems being reported.
    Some research uncovered that skim is no longer supported and is part of my kdemod3 install, however until this update it was working fine under kdemod4.

  • Why is the website tutorial no longer loading?

    I have installed the software recently and made a start on the tutorial but 2 days later the website will not load, I have no problem with the internet connection. 

    Sometimes, sites divide their content and login logic over multiple servers. In that case, the sites may not recognize that you have logged in if you block third party cookies. Can you check your cookie settings, as described in this article: [[Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them]].
    During your earlier troubleshooting, did you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode to rule out an extension as the potential culprit? More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Why does my website return in japanese when searched on google?

    When my adobe muse website is searched for on search engines, the results are shown in Japanese.

    Hi Jon,
    Please check: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.confectionperfectioncakes.com
    It seems Google has that content cached from a previous use of the domain. Should go away and be updated with your current site content soon.

  • I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider

    I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider. Will the other widgets no longer work?

    There are a few things that won't work on other hosting sites; hit counters and pop-up slide shows for sure.

  • How to I get my iWeb website online without a domain name and using iCloud or .mac....

    I want to publish my iweb website online.  Since we no longer have mobile me do I use icloud, and if so how do I do it?

    No, you don't and you can't do it because iCloud does not offer any web hosting facilities, so if you want to publish your website online, you'll need to go to a web host and register a domain name along with a web hosting account. Take a look at http://www.godaddy.com and http://www.hostexcellence.com.  Both these companies offer domain name registration as well as hosting accounts and there are lots of others too.
