Come on Carlos, Google Webmaster Tools (GWT) to the big sites has always been about stuff not to do with sitemaps. Most of the information is about how your site is viewed from Google, a sitemap does not change that.Why are we still talking about sitemaps? We were never talking about sitemaps, as I said before, it's just one part of the Google Webmaster Tools (GWT) program.
Once again, my site was on vB4 + vBSEO which the developers implores you to add sitemap if you have that setup. But again, like I said earlier, I agree that sitemaps aren't needed.
That's why you add your site to Google Webmaster Tools. *Two thumbs up*Come on Carlos, Google Webmaster Tools (GWT) to the big sites has always been about stuff not to do with sitemaps. Most of the information is about how your site is viewed from Google, a sitemap does not change that.
Are you stupid or something?Sorry to burst your bubble. You do NOT need a sitemap to achieve a successful site on the net.
The site's definitely loading faster. I noticed super improvement after I enabled eAccelerator on the site. Google, won't punish your website but it would rank it higher if it loads faster. Google's made it clear that faster is better.@TheBigK
I'd be interested to know how fast (performance graph) your site is using google's webmaster tool.
Google webmaster tools says that my site's loading time is around 4 sec. and I am wondering if google punishes slower sites by sending less traffic to the site?
Well, 6 months is a long time. The new content should help us get back on track faster.Even with redirects, changing software is enough to change every single pages content structure according to Google. Unless the page design is near identical, from a HTML viewpoint being read by Google as raw data, then according to Google, every page of your site has changed, thus they will have to reevaluate every page of your site.
Changing software, expect 6 months to fully recover.
Anthony confirmed everything I had been saying in this thread the whole time.Well, 6 months is a long time. The new content should help us get back on track faster.
Carlos - as I mentioned; the site is already in GWT.Anthony confirmed everything I had been saying in this thread the whole time.
I have been empathizing adding it to google Webmasters Tools throughout this thread, which eliminates the wait for that "6 months" timeframe. But even if you add it to GWT with the stats your forum is holding... it will take a long time for the threads to be completely re-indexed.
I had thought that you did not add it to GWT yet. Some of the messages make it seem like you left it out of GWT, which like I said before, prolongs the wait for re-indexing. I'm sorry. I read your messages wrong. Ya know what they say about assumptions.Carlos - as I mentioned; the site is already in GWT.
Then, how is it that CODForums was able to reach Google faster? It was already on GWT, and I didn't need to put in redirections, and I didn't need to do anything else!@Carlos, it won't "eliminate" the wait.
Yeah, it takes a long time for the site to re-indexed... as in pretty much all the old threads, all the old links into the new ones. That's what I said here:I've been through the same process vB3.8.4 > IPB and it took around 6 months to "level out".
Moving on...Even if you add it to GWT with the stats your forum is holding... it will take a long time for the threads to be completely re-indexed.
Yeah, that's the message I tried to get across throughout this thread.Webmaster Tools is a *single* entity, and it simply allows you to "inform" Google about a limited few things whilst giving you an overview of how your site is viewed by Google's engine - tweaking is about the sum of it.
