Hello,
I’ve built quite a few joomla/Joomlart sites, but one of them is doing unexpected things when i try to search for it on google. The site is lasersafetyaustralia.com.au.
The site definitely shows up in Google search results, if I pick, for example, a text-string from somewhere in the site, and google it.
but if I search on typical generic terms for the site, it doesn’t seem to have any traction within google. I’m stumped as to why this would be, as I have done all the usual correct things, and they normally work well enough with my other sites. But on this one something seems “not quite right”.
The main thing that is telling me something is weird, is that if I do a search, say for the string “laser safety australia” (without the quotation marks) in google.com.au, I would expect to see some good results. instead, it only brings up one page from my site, and here is the weird thing: it is not even a real page. The address of the page which is brings up is
http://lasersafetyaustralia.com.au/index.php/home/about-laser-safety-australia/9-information
As I say, this does not correspond to any page that I have built. when I click on it, it brings up a page which has a list of four other pages on my site.
Why? How? What the?
Can anyone make any suggestions as to why this page is being retrieved by google? Can anyone also make suggestions as to why no other pages seem to be picked up when I do general keyword searches like this? Any clues will be very welcome. Thanks.
cheers
