| Site seems to have vanished | jmc84 | 4/16/12 11:46 AM | My site's URL (web address) is: http://tinyurl.com/blhkf6x Hi Guys The site above seems to have dissapeared today for no reason, there are no shady tricks or anything like that, it used to be page 1 for its domain name but is now nowhere to be seen |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | travler | 4/16/12 11:58 AM | Your site comes up first on google search for me. if the site is back up running fine, as it is for me, then you might log in to webmaster tools and fetch as google bot. I see 5 page site with very little content, so tricky to rank well in the ser |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | jmc84 | 4/16/12 12:07 PM | Thanks for the reply Just to confirm, a site search finds the site but a search for "the gate inn sutton" which is basically what the site is doesn't show the site at all. It was about third or fourth this morning. I know the site is only small but |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | travler | 4/16/12 12:24 PM | i see it top results typing in the gate inn sutton but I am of course logged into google account and searched it once before (personalized results)Is this not you? maps and all. http://goo.gl/lZI14 And this site is indexed: http://goo.gl/8eeme all |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | travler | 4/16/12 12:29 PM | hold on - there is another site coming up - didn't the the THE in your domain name this time Are there two Gate Inn Sutton? apparently so - yours has 'the' in the name and theirs doesn't - they have more pages and claimed their google places. That's |

| Re: Site seems to have vanished | jimcook1 | 4/17/12 1:00 AM | Hi Yes ours has "the" in the domain name, we are waiting for the postcard to come back at the minute but still wouldn't explain why the site has gone. Its not like it is targeting a big keyword, just what the pub is called. It seems a lot of people |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | Phil Payne | 4/17/12 1:14 AM | It's a generic TLD registered and hosted in Denmark - have you set geolocation? |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | jimcook1 | 4/17/12 1:28 AM | Hello Phil Thanks for replying, yes the geo location is set to the UK, I didn't relaise it would be hosted in Denmark until I paid for the hosting, but even so the site was doing well up till now. It doesn't get much traffic but the site isn't reall |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | jimcook1 | 4/17/12 3:44 AM | Sorry to bump the thread, but can anyone explain what has happened, my guess is the site was down and as it is small with no backlinks G thought it was no longer live. Does that make any sense? |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | travler | 4/17/12 4:54 AM | If you tweak/ be more specific about where you are located it might help differentiate your smaller , newer site on the wef.

| Re: Site seems to have vanished | jimcook1 | 4/17/12 6:22 AM | I take all the advice on board, but would it really explain dissapearing from search like this, the official site you are reffering to is the village website. I still think the site may have been down when the bots came, how can I make them come bac |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | Claes N. Nilsson | 4/17/12 6:27 AM | Are your host http://one.com? I lost my webpage aswell and am hosted in Denmark by http://one.com. Their servers was down yesterday or something |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | jimcook1 | 4/17/12 6:36 AM | Yes I am, I curse the day I ever joined them. How do you know there servers were down? Mind you everytime I look at the site it seems to be down. |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | travler | 4/17/12 6:44 AM | I've looked at the site a number of times over two days and it loads fast, consistently. if you are unhappy with your host, fine, change - but the issues with site visibility need to be addressed. It would be an entirely different matter if we all sa |
| Re: Site seems to have vanished | jimcook1 | 4/17/12 7:09 AM | @travler I appreciate your advice but the changes you are describing would not make the site vanish like it has, drop a few places yes but not totally dissapear. I have just contacted the hosting company who have confirmed it was down due to a DDOS |
