I've done something like this before.

I search the 'url' of the post on google and it brought me the exact post but when I Check google catch of my site it still shows my site how it was on the 12th excluding the current posts which I posted a few days after 12th

Google cache is like an archive. Its different from indexing. Google takes a picture of ur site from time to time. So the current cache of ur site was d last picture taken. U could check back a few weeks from now and see ur current post as d latest cache.

Even if you delete ur posts, it will still show in d cache for a period.

henryobinna:
since 12th of this month google has not been indexing/crawling my site.

normally it takes them highest of 2 days to index but till now(6th day) they've not.

I've written a new post but not yet indexed by Google but I recieve search traffic from other search engines.


please who knows a way out of this or the cause should help me.

thanks in advance

its normal, i think its takes an average of one month before they index you, depending on traffic of your website (As you there are tons of website out there). Also if you using a good webhosting service, they have tools that helps you with this kind of thing..

henryobinna:
am not good at that SEO thing n I've lost hope in it.
and my site is a blogger blog

All bloggers in Naija wanna be like Linda Ikeji

How many posts have you published since the 12th?? There are times google doesn't index a new posts till you publish another.

Most times, Their crawling bot do omit a new post till maybe when you publish another one.

Check your webmasters tool and navigate to fetch as google. Fix in the post URL and fetch it. Within 7hrs, it should be crawled.

More so, use of pinging tools like Googleping is good. All the very best pal.

do justice to your google webmaster tool

Ur post is indexed na. Google has crawled ur site my bro bt ur site probably has dropped in ranking. Dats why u ar not receiving much traffic from google. Keep posting original and unique content am sure it will recover. Set up a facebook page, twitter and youtube acct linked to ur blog. This will help a lot in boosting ur blog in d eyes of google.

ok, thanks for the clarification

pelij:
O yes!!! Now you come, you just need to change your template or recode it.

How has this post passed for a Front Page. Mods will always be Mods.


Governement of the friends for the friends

If Google isn't indexing/showing your Site on SERP.. there're many approaches used to solve the ish, our fellow IT guys here have stated a few for U.
I'll give U a recap and add mine as well.
- Be sure U have posted enough content on the site, about 15 or More and they shouldn't be just ordinary posts but good quality posts that ppl search for around the web. Google won't index A new site that is Copying & Pasting OO,take note.

- And the very important One, not only thru useful contents, U gotta help Google index ur site too by Being sure U have placed your web property code on the site.
You can learn to do dis very easily Here >>> http://www.editweaks.com/2012/10/track-and-claim-website-with-google-webproperty-code.html

-After all these are in place....keep Posting & GIVE IT sometime.
After a few days, Search Google using some Keywords from the title of your Posts, if dem no index U for search result, come n arrest me
Goodluck brov

TheNaijan:

Check your site on Google... search for any of your posts that have been previously indexed on Google... If you don't see any of them indexed; then you might have been hit...Besides join Google Webmaster tools and from there you can check your sites status.

judging by those,
my site is ok

I changed my site url can google still reindex and change my older posts with old url to the new one or how else?

Try and do a new post and see if that one could be indexed.

Goodluck

ok, thanks

It's probably caused by a robot in your html file. A robot is a code which causes your website not to be indexed and prevents crawling by search engines or websites. Check the meta tag in the head of your HTML code. I'm a student studying IT at monash university south Africa

my brother, you have got no problem at all. Google's crawler crawls site based on its page rank. starting from page rank of 10 to 0. so if the site's homepage page rank is 0 or 1 then you would not expect it to crawl your page/site at the same rate as it would a page rank 3 or 4 site.

But be that as it may, 6 days is enough to get your post crawled and indexed. so copy that post's url and paste it inside the google's search box and search. if it shows up in the SERPs then you have nothing to fear at all because it has been indexed.
if you do not receive the desired traffic or the post does not show up in the SERPs of some related keywords, then the post or url may be residing in google's supplemental index and it may take months before it will be moved to the main index before showing up in the main SERP.


But if it doesn't show up then check your webmaster tool's crawler section to see if you had inadvertently made a mistake in your robots.txt file not to allow google agent to crawl your pages.
