Hi Trax
Is this site hosted on a shared hosting box? |
yes it is
there is no need for a dedicated box with a unique ip on brandnew sites |
beta-tester this isn't a contest thread :1orglaugh
|
someone feel free to browse www.businessvoyeur.com with the yahoo and google toolbars installed, you might find some articles you like there too ;)

In Feb '05 I checked the stats for a mainstream site I have and noticed a big jump in traffic, after looking at the stats I noticed they were coming from Google and the search terms "belinda" and "belinda carlise". My site was ranked 1 for these terms yet I had nothing at all with those words on my site (I double checked and triple checked).
So I get chatting to my host and asked if he hosted any belinda related sites on any of his boxes, and yes he did and it so happened it was on the same box my site was on (shared hosting). This ranking in google lasted about a week then dropped out. We both could not explain what happened in this situation. What I do know is that my sites with this host do very well on search engine results with very few backlinks. |
I'm not convinced the toolbar was how they found your site still. I setup a packet sniffer and surfed the web with both toolbars on and it was only google that made a request back to its servers to fetch the PR's for the toolbar. Not a single request was detected being sent to Yahoo.

its not toolbar, its whois, pure and simple, both Google and Yahoo use whois, Google penalises new sites (or was) and Yahoo indexes them (or did) both are registrars and have full access to whois

WiredGuy, any final conclusion yet as to how Trax's site got indexed?
|
Thanks for the tip.

Hey trax. I hope that you can now switch any remaining traffic to something that will pay you. the program in my sig or under my nic would both do nicely!
Other than that just make sure to repeat step a to z with your next project. |
