Hi there,
I recently bought an expired domain name on GoDaddy. The metrics were correct for the price and I didn't see any spam issues with it (at the beginning ...)
So I built a new site, I added the GA tracker and I have started to monitor the site on the Search Console and what I've seen is strange. Despite the fact that I have no manual penalty from Google, no page are indexed. I know that it can take some time to rank but there is no any result on the SERP, the only method to see the site is with the command "site:mywebsite.com" !
I think that the domain has been penalized by Google in the past (not in the sandbox as I can find the pages with the command "site: ..."). So my questions :
- How can be sure that the site is penalized ?
- How sort it out ?
Thanks for your help
