| Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 12:53 PM | I am perplexed as to why Google Search - for the past 2 years - has only featured the homepage of my site, http://www.wildaboutmovies.com, in Google Search (at least in the Top 10 pages for any search term). For years, 2004-2009, (and part of 2010), all of |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | Lysis | 3/12/11 1:51 PM | Hmmm another movie site. I need to have a macro for this question. Is the information unique and original or are you just basically repeating IDMB? yawn...nevermind, I went and looked and have the answer. It's a page of links to a page that has a po |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 1:54 PM | Um, obviously you are not looking at anything correctly. There are NO SCRAPED pages on http://www.wildaboutmovies.com and who cares about PopUps. The pop ups have been on the site since day one, and even Boston.com has pop ups, as do every other site. Your |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 1:57 PM | Also, in addition to knowing next to nothing about movie websites, and "scraping," (it is IMDB.com, not IDMB), you know next to nothing about Google Search. http://teaser-trailer.com, a dreadfully laid out site, with FAKE content, launched less than a year |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | Lysis | 3/12/11 1:58 PM | Any website that has the audacity to open a stupid ad window gets plonked. Google domain filtering is the best thing since sliced bread. Your site does not have unique, compelling content. The page you showed is just a bunch of links to movie descrip |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 2:02 PM | Be more specific, please, then. What AD? There are ads on every website. What ad are you referring to on my site, and what is different about that than the ad appearing on any other site which is in the Top Google search page. Every movie site that |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 2:04 PM | Moreover, the same ads on my site appear on the homepage, and the homepage is cached and ranks. Type in 2010 Movies into Google or Bing search, etc. Trust me, it is not an "AD" or "Content" issue. There is something else causing my pages to not appea |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | Lysis | 3/12/11 2:07 PM | The amazingly spammy ad that forces a new browser window on my desktop when I access the description pages. That is not your problem, but it might be if people get angry enough to keep filtering you. Move on from 1999's atrocious ad marketing campaig |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 2:08 PM | EXPAMPLE: Type in the search term 2007 Movies into Google or Bing You'll see the actual page from Wild About Movies in the first Search Page listing, above the fold. Same exact layout as 2010 Movies page and 2011 Movies Page. http://www.wildaboutm |

| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | Lysis | 3/12/11 2:23 PM | Oh lord, and you're framing the other movie site. You want to create ONE site with GREAT content instead of a bunch of domains with the same content. |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 2:24 PM | Oh... Ugh. Other sites that are not yet launched, that if you type in the domain name, such as http://www.wamm.co and http://www.wildaboutmovies.co they redirect to my homepage, http://www.wildaboutmovies.com Why, is that bad? If so, how can 2007 Movies, 2008 Movies, |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | Lysis | 3/12/11 2:30 PM | Are you thereelcritic? Anyway, I just did a looksie in CopyScape and your content is not original at all. The content is poorly written and honestly, the site is very spammy. I would not want this in my search results. You need to tone down the spam |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/12/11 2:57 PM | Spam example(s)? http://teaser-trailer.com which is based on WORDPRESS, is #1 for every movie related search term. Their site looks like pig crap. For 2012 Movies page they list movies that are not even real. I know Word Press is set up for SEO. Again, my |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | JohnMu | 3/13/11 3:35 AM | Hi wildaboutmovies and welcome to the forum! First off - I would strongly recommend not trying to use other sites that are spammier and still ranking as examples. Don't look at bad sites as a model of what you could be doing :); instead, aim to be th |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/13/11 10:32 AM | Wow. Thanks - both of you - for all of the great advice. Another question, does a SITEMAP help in Google Ranking, at all? And, finally, my homepage ranks very high in Google Search, but the internal pages do not. That's my main concern. And I wonder |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/13/11 11:05 AM | Since I do not know how to report a SPAM SITE (I know how to report a page), I have to get this off my chest. This site, http://teaser-trailer.com, stole all of my ideas and came along a year ago. They use Word Press, which is SEO optimized. But if you type |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/13/11 12:39 PM | Edit One more issue about MY Site that needs a clear answer. For 3 days, March 9, 10 and 11, Google was showing my site in the #1 search spot on the first search page for the search terms: 2011 Movies, Movies 2011 and Thor Tickets, Thor Trailer, Th |
| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | TNADADA | 3/13/11 1:53 PM | UPDATE: VERY INTERESTING Google is not at all showing any of my INTERNAL pages from http://www.wildaboutmovies.com in Google Search. WHY NOT? I have tested BING and YAHOO. 500 search terms and my unique pages for the movies, with INVALUABLE information on |

| Re: Why is only the homepage to my site appearing in Google Search results? | Archimedes2110 | 3/16/11 2:24 AM | None of this really answers the question about why pages of previous years' movies rank #1 but current year's movies don't - except maybe the Google search algorithm doesn't really work well any more - except for spammy sites. I'm not the first to no |
