Google will not index certain PBN domains

[socalsurfer]

I bought a few domains recently that have good backlink profiles and clean archive.org histories. So there shouldn't be any spam issues. However Google will not index them.

I've installed Wordpress with a sitemap, and registered the sites in separate private webmaster tool accounts where I've submitted the sitemap and also done the fetch as Google process.

Google still won't index these sites! Does anyone have any tips on getting these sites indexed?

If the domains don't get index after you submit them to google 9/10 its penalized.

Domains usually get index within 1-2 hours after you submit them to google.

Any way to find out if there is a penalty?

Connect it to google webmasters tools and check for any manual actions. How long has it been since you added contents to it ? Also, check if there is any crawling error.

Yep, did that. It's clean!

Just because a domain has a "clean" profile doesn't mean it can't be de-indexed.

If the previous owner used it as part of his PBN and it got de-indexed, you're basically shit out of luck.

Not sure what you mean by "it's clean" .

No messages or errors in WMT, no spammy archive.org snapshots, no spam backlinks

You can try to submit your root domain here https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?pli=1

if it still not index after few days then you better forget it and find another domain.

Shit happens. I bought 2 excellent domains too recently thinking they were awesome. Clean backlink profile and even checked every single archive page to see if it was not used for spam or any such activity. But damn. I try best to do complete research and even despite of taking every care one should and every finding one should do, I have 4-5 such domains sitting doing nothing. Just gotta move on.

Give some time to Google,Start adding more contents to your website,the higher quality content will be index more.

I register quite some expired domains (which have been de-indexed due inactivity) and sometimes they just don't index in Google, I'm not sure why but it's how it is. I think about 5/100 sites are not indexing for me, you just have to take your loss and carry on.

That's the common error - using only wayback machine to know if domain is "clean" .

whois tools, hosterstats.

How to check with whois ?

How much content does these domains have?

As suggested, try adding more content, if possible lots of content. My experience is that if you have lots of content on your website and its unique, the site will get indexed fast, even if the content is of mediocre quality.

Whois domain tools you have to get paid plan to be able to see previous owners. In most cases the hosterstats is enough tho, if you aren't doing any ''major PBN'ing''.

 

[danhoff]

Can you be more specific, please. Exactly what should i look for at hosterstats ?

I would recommend using onehourindexing.co. I tried many different services and this one is the best so far.
