Is Google having a tough time with their website limit?

If you are one to pay attention to what happens within the Google realm, you might find yourself thrownfor a loop these days. As Google updates their results, it seems like they are having some issues dealingwith so many new websites popping up.

Indexing 8 billion websites is quite an accomplishment for Google. As they are reluctant to increasethis number, they are faced with many challenges in trying to keep some sites within these 8 billionpages while losing some others, after each update they do to their database.

So how do you determine which listings to lose?

We've all heard of the "sandbox theory"! (New sites are added to a group of other new sites until a certainamount of time has passed and you've proven your worth. Once you've proven your site is valuable, Googlereleases it within its regular search results).

It seems to me that if you don't own a large network of websites that can easily increase the websiteslink popularity overnight, your newly created website won't get hit as hard and is added to the sandboxfor only a certain period of time.

On the other hand, if you do own a large network of websites and increase the amount of websites youhave, your newly built website(s) will get hit harder and may take a lot more time and promotional effortto get good search rankings results within Google.

Let's take a look at why this may be true:

1st) It has been long speculated that Google searches through the "WHOIS" data base regularly ("WHOIS" -Contact record of who owns a specific domain name). By doing this Google can now see who owns what andhow many domain names they own. By doing this Google can now determine that "Company A" owns 25 websites.This collection of 25 websites can now all be crawled to look for content copying, ghost pages, mimicpages, irrelevant link directories, etc. By knowing that you own 25 websites, Google can quickly determinetheir worth and rank them accordingly.

2nd) With this knowledge provided by the "WHOIS" data base, Google can also see how many years you'veregistered each domain name for. For instance, if you register all your domain names for only 1 year,there is a possibility that you don't plan on using these domain names for the long term. Instead, youmay be using these new domain
names simply to keep up with new changes on the internet and new standards in search engine optimization.

On the other hand, if you register all of your new domain names for the next 5 years, it is more likelythat you are going to use these domain names in the future. This now gives more relevance to each domainname you register for more than 1 year. I am now recommending to all my clients not only to make sureto register a domain name related to their country (i.e. Canada = .ca), but to also make sure that theyregister their domain name for 5 years. If you are truly serious about increasing your business online,why would you risk missing your domain name renewals every year and possibly loose your domain name?

Google may also look at how long you've owned this website for!

It may be true that by adding your new website to the "sandbox", Google may also add your website toa "history report". This history report can give their database detailed information about how old yourwebsite is. These days, I believe that it takes about 6-8 months before Google updates your "historyreport". By updating, I mean possibly releasing your website further within search results.

See, this combination of "who owns the domain", "how long will you own the domain name", and "how oldis the website", can provide a more accurate report to Google as to whether or not this website willsurvive, stay the course, or provide great content. Through this "history report" and "sandbox report",your website will go through an "exam" after 6-8 months in order to determine whether or not you areready to play with the big boys online or whether or not your website has what it takes to succeed online.Until Google increases the amount of websites it will index within its results, we are all going to haveto battle to stay on top. Internet marketing in general is becoming increasingly tougher with every monththat passes. It has finally caught up to us and we are now starting to fight a hard battle.

One more thing you may notice:

Google's cache (Snapshot image of your website when it crawls through) is becoming a little wonky lately.One day Google will have an updated cache, the next day it won't have a cache at all, and the followingday it will have a cache of your website from 2 weeks ago.

What does this all mean?

When Google crawls a certain page, it looks at everything. Let's take one specific internal page in yourwebsite. This specific page may be ranked 10 different times within the search results for 10 differentkey searches depending on the content within that certain page.

As Google increasingly fights to keep certain pages, its cache may be having a tough time keeping upand delivering the most relevant cache to date. More times than not, the front page of a website doesn'thave a cache at all anymore! This is very interesting. It may mean that your front page may not be the "key" anymoresince more and more people are trying to cram everything under the sun within their front page.

It is possible that your "Main Sub-Categories" are weighing higher in Google's eyes for the qualityand relevance of your internal content.

What you want to do is to provide a clean map to all your internal pages. Your front page was the bestsolution for providing a map to all of your pages. Maybe these days, your front page should be used onlyto link to your main "sub-categories" and also to show your most recent posted content!

I will leave you with this. If you are new online or even an experienced marketer online, buying manynew domain names may not be the key to increase your success right now. Buying new domains should bea long term investment. Try increasing the popularity of your already established websites in order togain more exposure for your business. Owning more domains increases the amount of time and effort youneed to promote each one. Like I've mentioned many times before, owning a network of websites is notenough! You need to expand your horizons online, increase your content and create more business partnershipsevery chance you have.
