Home Page
History:
03/12/2008
Purchased the domain name and hosting. Created
the pages and posted to the host. Submitted the URL to the Google, Yahoo and MSN
search engines.
03/13/2008
Added the website to the web master tools I
have with all three above mentioned engines. Google and Yahoo validated the
site. MSN failed, reinitiated at 17:40. Added Google analytics to the home page.
03/14/2008
After second attempt Live Search validated the
site.
03/23/2008
I gave to all of the search engines a bit more
than a week to do their "stuff" and here is the report:
Google indexed the site right away and the site,
if you query Google on adwords fraud is well positioned in the page 1 or page 2
in the natural search results.
SEO well implemended and accepted and that is
what makes Google the number 1.
Other two even reporting that the website is
indexed are not showing any results - well I check only the first 10 pages in
the natural search results and my website is nowhere. It makes you asking what
to hell they are doing, or maybe they don't like my website and just not
indexing it to show even thouth all is done by the SEO book.
The best way to check whether or not your
website is indexed is to query on the domain name like in samples below. Your
domain should be if not the first than in the very top.
Google - check you self. No wonder why
they are number one search engine:

Yahoo is slow and still showing some old results since the domain name
was active at some point in the past. It makes me thinking either their crawler
is to slow and not sofisticated as Google's or they just don't like my domain
and attempt to deal with adwords fraud, therefore they don't indexing it. If you
are looking for some sort of proof here are the samples from Yahoo search:

Before and in similar cases where I had a new domain name and while it gets
indexed with Yahoo I would get something like:
We did not find results for: adwordsfrauds.com. Try the
suggestions below or type a new query above.
In order to generate the sample I had to add "s" to show an usual response
from Yahoo.
and then just to show you how it looks in Yahoo here is the proof:
My Sites (14)
it is authenticated but you click onto Explore you get this:
URL not found
We were unable to find any results for the given URL in our index:
http://adwordsfraud.com
It makes you wonder what is in why is authenticated but not in their index at
all.
Live search: Nothing at all. As reported earlier
03/14/2008 the report is showing:

Live Search - Interesting stuff is happening on MS Live Search side.
As you can see above the website was indexed, well not shown anywhere but still
the page was ranked and crawled last time 03/12/2008.
And the today here is what I found in my webmaster tools with Live Search:
We weren't able to authenticate the website.
Web address:
adwordsfraud.comAuthentication code:
2D13AAF217604F8DA79C6F7F2933551A
Copy this text to the <HEAD> section of your home page:
of course I have their code in my page as well all other

or you can check the source you self at
http://adwordsfraud.com/
for any case I did compare the authentication code numbers here is the one
from the above not able to authenticate message
2D13AAF217604F8DA79C6F7F2933551A
and here is the one in my page
2D13AAF217604F8DA79C6F7F2933551A
the same? please let me know if you think
they are different.
Here is the screenshot of related pages (it will take about 10 to 15 seconds
to download the picture, please be patient)
Now for the purpose of this history I am going
to click Try again and this is what I got:
Website status
| Website address: adwordsfraud.com |
| No data is available. |

will check back in a couple of days and keep
you posted.
Yahoo, finally out there, well the query
still has to be adwordsfraud but it is a good sign. How good? I will keep you
posted if anything new tomorrow.
04/01/2008
Google position improved to #6 in the fist page, Yahoo the same, Live Search
came back to situation I had 03/14/2008.
Noticed very strange thing in Live Search specs - it is telling me that it
was "Last crawled: 3/12/2008" and even more strange is that the Language is
specifed to nl.
If you check my code I think it is pretty much clear English coded
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"/>
It looks to me Live Search is reading who knows what. Will check on the
progress tomorrow and will keep you posted.
