thanks a million that worked
in way in over my head with this stuff -
The url for your sitemap is 404.
Your sitemap URL should be: http://www.thebookshop.ie/system/feeds/sitemap.xml
Try updating to that and see if WMT accepts it.

Did you submit an xml sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools?
This alerts Google that your site has changed drastically and that they should crawl it and index the new content.
You should also submit a sitemap to any other search engine you want to rank in. Yes the search engines "should" find your site eventually; however, this gives them a heads-up.
Hope this helps.

Will is right, use webmaster tools to verify your site and submit your sitemaps. Use G+ to share new content you publish moving forward and monitor indexation health in google webmaster tools.

Try sharing your site on Google+, and other social networks.
Having a Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools accounts can help you monitor what phrases your site is ranking for...meaning your site is indexed.

Knowledge base for seo, announcing new articles on blog (dupe content)
Hi all, Im thinking of creating a knowledge base with all many asked questions in my company. This could be a great Link-bait source but also nice ranking opportunities i think. But sometimes some new articles are so actual that i also want to blog them.

Will links to the blog have equal value to KB links? And will this work?0 -
Will having duplicate content on four websites cause a problem?
A client of ours has four websites for different shops they run in the surrounding area. Each website has original content as well as duplicate content. This is for things like product advice which needs to be the same Will having duplicate content on these four websites cause a problem? How can it be mitigated? We can't refer the visitor to another website to get the product information as this will break the user experience, and of course shopping cart sessions will not pass on.

Filling Up Content For A New News Publishing Site
Hello, SEO Gurus. I have a client whom I've been working with for a few months now, and part of our service offering is to publish and promote fresh, daily content on his site's blog. This strategy has been a huge success thus far, he is very happy with the content, etc. Now, he is getting ready to launch a second site, which will be a news publishing site for his industry niche, and we will once again be providing the content on a daily basis: we're going to be producing 10 to 15 articles a day. It's a big operation for us. The client, however, is concerned that he doesn't want the site to appear "thin" on content in the early going, and asked if it would be possible to populate the new site with the articles we wrote on the other site's blog. My gut reaction to this is that it would be an exceedingly bad idea to do this. While we are the ones who authored the original content (and we've used author tags and publishing markup), the best bet is to simply start fresh. Besides that, seeing as we'll be pumping out tons of content on a daily basis, it won't take long to fill up the content coffers. That being said, I just wanted to run this past you all and see if anyone had any alternative ideas on how to use the old content without it being duplicate content. I was thinking that maybe designating all of the old articles with noindex, nofollow could be an option? Many thanks in advance for your time and attention. Sincerely, Mike

My WebSite has two sections with overlapping, or redundant articles on the same topics. Google is only listing one or the other article in Search Results. What should I do to have both pages (similiar but unique content ) to be listed?
