Google Index Shadow Ban ? - GoFuckYourself.com

priapos · 06-27-2020, 05:18 AM

Hi!
We have a user contributed project that build with SPA (React). Users can upload images or short videos (Like gfycat)

At first, we had thousands of pages indexed by google. There was no problem. But one day, a message came to our google search console page. There is a compliant about a popup ads.

Google wanted to remove that ads from our page. We removed that ads and inform google about it. After that message our all indexes are deleted from google. And none of our pages are indexed again.

Weird thing is, we dont seeing any message about it at our search console page. And the weirder thing is, according to search console, we having users from google search results. But when we checking our site at google with "site:..." we only see 3 or 6 search results. We checked nearly all country spesific googles, we checked any other regions or any countries. But results are same

in conclusion;

we dont have any ban in appearance
we checked with www or without www, same result
There is no message or warning at search console
according to search console, we still taking traffic from google searchs
When we check words that we took traffic, we can see our site from search results, but when we check globally, we dont see any result.

Thank you for help

You got hit with a manual action. Are you sure there is nothing in your search console on it? Got the right domain selected?

What countries are the people that Search Console says you are getting coming from? - If, for instance a lot are from the UK change you country settings to UK and do a site: search again - I often get great results in SERPS in the Philippines with not a single page anywhere else - I have zero connection to the Philippines at all...

Try visiting places that Google employees hang out - Google tech related Google Groups (yes, they are still a thing) and blogs are good, and chat to them - After a while you get to know the friendly ones and can ask direct questions like this - It can help a lot.....

Thin content maybe? If it's like an image upload/sharing site, I can imagine it has a ton of pages with just a single image + a short title maybe...

Could be possible the big G decided there's too little content on all these pages (making it look a bit too spammy) and removed them all as a result?
