Google is De-indexing my web pages WHY???

Smiler · 09-16-2010, 02:44 PM

I've started my website last month putting contents and tutorials on it. The domain is less than six months old and my website has a dot info extension. The pages got indexed right away but once it reached 100 indexed pages Google started de-indexing them. Does anyone know why this is happening? I have not build any backlinks or promote my website anywhere. I am simply building contents and will promote it one month from now. Also I want to mention that I've used exact image links from photobucket,com to some of my pages on my website. Can this be a factor. I used the same image because I don't want to upload the same exact image over and over again.

Any explanation on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Maybe the Google Sandbox?

is there anyway to avoid Google Sandbox. Or it is inevitable once you get caught by it?

"Sandbox" doesn't de-index pages. What does Google Webmaster Tools say?

Hard to say without knowing what the site is...

Is your content original? Where are you hosting (could there be problems with other sites on your IP?).

This can happen if your content is not unique. What I understand about Google Sandbox though is that your site will drop ranking in Google for a few weeks as its new and needs further observation by Google.
