Problem of indexing
-
Hello, sorry, I'm French and my English is not necessarily correct.
I have a problem indexing in Google.
Only the home page is referenced: http://bit.ly/yKP4nD.
I am looking for several days but I do not understand why.
I looked at:
-
The robots.txt file is ok
-
The sitemap, although it is in ASP, is valid with Google
-
No spam, no hidden text
-
I made a request for reconsideration via Google Webmaster Tools and it has no penalties
-
We do not have noindex
So I'm stuck and I'd like your opinion.
thank you very much
A.

Ah!
I've found it!
You have a canonical link on each page?
| rel="canonical" href="http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/Default.asp" /> |
This is not so good, as it is on http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/vins-vallee-du-rhone-nord.htm AND http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/PBHotNews.asp?PBMInit=1
If you remove that (and keep it on the start page) you should experience a whole lot of indexing in the following days
Best regards
Rasmus

You are correct. I've just found this page:
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
It says:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Allows all robots to all pages.So that was my mistake. I am truly sorry for the confusion.
I will have a look at it later to see if I can find a good explanation...
-
Hi Rasmus,
User-agent: *
Disallow:means that all robots can enter the site
User-agent: *
Disallow: /block all robots to enter.
User-agent: WebCrawler
Disallow:block WebCrawler robot, but other can enter
Always first line of robots.txt tells what robots can crawl a site and * means all. Second and next lines are pointing specific catalogues on a server e.g. Disallow: /admin/
So I think that is not a robots.txt issue - please ensure me
-
Hi again,
Do you use Google Webmaster tools?
In Webmaster tools you can see how many URLs on your site that has been restricted due to robots.txt file. Perhaps that could give you a clue.
I would recommend that you take a look at webmaster tools. All in all there are a lot of good information in there for optimizing your site.
Best regards
Rasmus

Thanks for your answer.
OK I will edit the file but I am not convinced that this is causing my problem because it was written that way.
Take care

Actually your robots.txt is NOT ok. It says:
Sitemap: http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/Sitemap.asp?AccID=27018&LangID=0 User-agent: * Disallow: Which means that all pages are to be disallowed. You should have: User-agent: * Allow: /
If you change that, it should fix it!

Google indexing wrong pages
We have a variety of issues at the moment, and need some advice. First off, we have a HUGE indexing issue across our entire website. Website in question: http://www.localsearch.com.au/ Firstly
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | localdirectories
In Google.com.au, if you search for 'plumbers gosford' (https://www.google.com.au/#q=plumbers+gosford), the wrong page appears - in this instance, the page ranking should be http://www.localsearch.com.au/Gosford,NSW/Plumbers I can see this across the board, across multiple locations. Secondly
Recently I've seen Google reporting in 'Crawl Errors' in webmaster tools URLs such as:
http://www.localsearch.com.au/Saunders-Beach,QLD/Electronic-Equipment-Sales-Repairs&Sa=U&Ei=xs-XVJzAA9T_YQSMgIHQCw&Ved=0CIMBEBYwEg&Usg=AFQjCNHXPrZZg0JU3O4yTGjWbijon1Q8OA This is an invalid URL, and more specifically, those query strings seem to be referrer queries from Google themselves: &Sa=U&Ei=xs-XVJzAA9T_YQSMgIHQCw&Ved=0CIMBEBYwEg&Usg=AFQjCNHXPrZZg0JU3O4yTGjWbijon1Q8OA Here's the above example indexed in Google: https://www.google.com.au/#q="AFQjCNHXPrZZg0JU3O4yTGjWbijon1Q8OA" Does anyone have any advice on those 2 errors?0 -

Does anyone have a clue about my search problem?
After three years of destruction, my site still has a problem - or maybe more than one. OK, I understand I had - and probably still have - a Panda problem. The question is - does anyone know how to fix it, without destroying eveything? If I had money, I'd gladly give it up to fix this, but all I have is me, a small dedicated promotions team, 120,000+ visitors per month and the ability to write, edit and proofread. This is not an easy problem to fix. After completing more than 100 projects, I still haven't got it right, in fact, what I've done over the past 2 months has only made things worse - and I never thought I could do that. Everything has been measured, so as not to destroy our remaining ability to generate income, because without that, its the end of the line. If you can help me fix this, I will do anything for you in return - as long as it is legal, ethical and won't destroy my reputation or hurt others. Unless you are a master jedi guru, and I hope you are, this will NOT be easy, but it will prove that you really are a master, jedi, guru and time lord, and I will tell the world and generate leads for you. I've been doing website and SEO stuff since 1996 and I've always been able to solve problems and fix anything I needed to work on. This has me beaten. So my question is: is there anyone here willing to take a shot at helping me fix this, without the usual response of "change domains" "Delete everything and start over" or "you're screwed" Of course, it is possible that there is a different problem, nothing to do with algorithms, a hard-coded bias or some penalizing setting, that I don't know about, a single needle in a haystack. This problem results in a few visible things. 1. Some pages are buried in supplemental results 2. Search bots pick up new stories within minutes, but they show up in search results many hours later Here is the site: http://shar.es/EGaAC On request, I can provide a list of all the things we've done or tried. (actually I have to finish writing it) Some Notes: There is no manual spam penalty. All outgoing links are nofollow, and have been for 2 years. We never paid for incoming links. We did sell text advertising links 3-4 years ago, using text-link-ads.com, but removed them all 2 1/2 years ago. We did receive payment for some stories, 3-4 years ago, but all have been removed. One more thing. I don't write much - I'm a better editor than a writer, but I wrote a story that had 1 million readers. the massive percentage of 0.0016% came from you-know-who. Yes, 16 visitors. And this was an exclusive, unique story. And there was a similar story, with half a million readers. same result. Seems like there might be a problem!

Redirecting index.html to the root
Hi, I was wondering if there is a safe way to consolidate link juice on a single version of a home page. I find incoming links to my site that link to both mysite.com/ and mysite.com/index.html. I've decided to go with mysite.com/ as my main and only URL for the site and now I'd like to transfer all link juice from mysite.com/index.html to mysite.com/

When i tried 301 redirect from index.html to the root it created an indefinite loop, of course. I know I can use a RewriteRule.., but will it transfer the juice?? Please help!5 -
How important is the number of indexed pages?
I'm considering making a change to using AJAX filtered navigation on my e-commerce site. If I do this, the user experience will be significantly improved but the number of pages that Google finds on my site will go down significantly (in the 10,000's). It feels to me like our filtered navigation has grown out of control and we spend too much time worrying about the url structure of it - in some ways it's paralyzing us. I'd like to be able to focus on pages that matter (explicit Category and Sub-Category) pages and then just let ajax take care of filtering products below these levels. For customer usability this is smart. From the perspective of manageable code and long term design this also seems very smart -we can't continue to worry so much about filtered navigation. My concern is that losing so many indexed pages will have a large negative effect (however, we will reduce duplicate content and be able provide much better category and sub-category pages). We probably should have thought about this a year ago before Google indexed everything :-). Does anybody have any experience with this or insight on what to do? Thanks, -Jason
