approx 3 months ago my website www.vmonkey.com was submitted to google and achieved a ranking of number 30, somehow my pointer address www.anonymousemail.co.uk was also submitted and now this seems to have a higher ranking and www.vmonkey.com cannot be found. I have now found a web marketing company in the UK who are going to optimise and achieve a top 1st page ranking for www.vmonkey.com . can you please tell me what is going on with these domains and will it still be possible for www.vmonkey.com to get a high listing, as I cant find it listed (up to page 10) anywhere under keywords 'anonymous email'. many thanks |

Hi there, First of all, having multiple domains is not a good idea if you wish to optimize for search engines. You should decide on a single domain to use, and stop using the others completely. I notice you are also using another domain, and because of this Google has penalized it with a PR0: http://www.email-pranks.com/ Problems caused include listings like this one, which includes the .uk URL: http://www.toxiclemon.co.uk/t/email/anonymous-email.htm When you look at Google's cache of vmonkey.com, it lists it as the .uk URL: http://216.239.51.104/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vmonkey.com Google won't list both URLs involved in a re-direct, which means it has to make a decision of which to list. So far it has decided to list the .uk URL. The solution is to stop using any URLs other than vmonkey.com. Remove email-pranks.com from the web, and then submit the URL to Google (it will see there is nothing there, and after a while it will be removed from Google's index). Remove the re-direct from anonymousemail.co.uk and submit the URL to Google. Secondly, it is against Google guidelines to be part of reciprocal linking schemes, like this one: http://www.scorecardmetrics.com/links.html "Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings... ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?" Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank." ://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html So, remove your site from that one if possible. Thirdly, the SEO company you are planning to use look good. Few SEOs offer evidence of the rankings they have achieved. Getting a top 10 for "anonymous email" would be harder than the examples they provide, in my opinion. So make sure your deal with them revolves around them achieving a top 10 position for your site. Get them to submit vmonkey.com to Open Directory, whether it is part of their strategy or not. http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/E-mail/Anonymous_Mailers/ Best wishes, robertskelton-ga |

Clarification: What term were you using for the top 30 ranking? Hint: To get a #1 spot on google for an obscure term is easy. However it won't bring traffic as no one will use that term to search with. Example; "vmonkey" return 117 sites indexed by google ( by the way your number 1) whereas "anonymous email" returns 4,360,000 sites indexed by google. Hope that helps. |

please read the question again... i am searching on keywords 'anonymous email' and vmonkey.com seems to have dissappeared however a pointer address of www.anonymousemail.co.uk seems to have been indexed at #29. does my third party company work on optimising and getting a higher ranking for anonymousemail.co.uk or vmonkey.com .. the latter we would prefer as it is our domain name.. i need to know why vmonkey.com got dropped from indexing. |
