| Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | PiersEde | 5/10/12 10:19 AM | Ok, I have a client who has been having cross-pollination issues between two of their sites. They have a site in Texas and one in Oklahoma, and Google results for Texas keywords have been showing up for an Oklahoma search and visa versa. We've put th |
| Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | cristina | 5/10/12 6:17 PM | Maybe Google did not have time to fully recrawl and recache all the pages that had the links, so the links might still be in the Google cache, especially with such a large number of links. Did you look at the link discovery date in GWT and at the Goo |
| Re: Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | PiersEde | 5/10/12 11:59 PM | Thanks for replying Cristina. Given the fact that these are both high traffic sites with daily blogs I would have hoped they would be crawled regularly. However, you've made a good point - where do I see the link discovery date in GWT? I can see it |

I notice John Mu, whoever he is,seems to conclude that this is indeed a flaw in the Google algo and there's nothing one can do about it. Well this just isn't good enough.

| Re: Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | cristina | 5/14/12 5:47 AM | Sorry, but I do not understand what you mean by "have not existed in two months" or by "cross-pollination".Did some of those links exist until two moths ago? |

| Re: Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | PiersEde | 5/14/12 5:58 AM | Thanks for your reply. Yes, the links existed 2 months ago and were then removed. Now there are no links of any kind between the two sites. What I meant by cross pollination was that in search for an Oklahoma specific keyword, one would expect to get |

| Re: Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | webado | 5/18/12 8:33 PM | Until about a week or 10 days ago or so you did have that many links - you need to be patient until Google recrawls both sites and takes fresh inventory of the link situation. It's botund to take quite a bit longer. |
| Re: Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | PiersEde | 5/19/12 12:21 AM | The thing is, it's not the links, per se, which are the problem. They're just one theory we have of why Google is confusing the two sites when it comes to offering search results. It's not good if someone types in a search term, say 'wedding cakes Ok |
| Re: Google is showing 48,000 internal links between two sites, which haven't existed for 2 months... | webado | 5/19/12 6:47 AM | It will happen less and less as the 2 sites get recrawled deeply and the associations that were to be found through the crosslinks that you had and no longer have, get removed. |
