Why is this page not being delivered for Google search result?
-
Hey folks,
Figured I would try to get an experts insight on this.
On google search result for BLACK TITANIUM RINGS + TITANIUM-JEWELRY.COM the page that I "think" should show up is this one:
http://www.titanium-jewelry.com/black-titanium-rings.html
However, it does not. Imho, this page is highly relevant. I used Rank Tracker here on seomoz.org and the page is not even in top 50 of search engine results for google.
Our 'About Black Titanium Rings' page ranks #2 (http://www.titanium-jewelry.com/about-black-titanium.html) but the /black-titanium-rings.html page doesn't even rank.
Any suggestions on what I could look at to figure out why this page is being penalized?
We are not under a manual penalty (anymore!).
Thanks!
Ron

Hi Sha!
Thanks AGAIN! I just followed your instructions and gave google the 'nudge'. Now keep my fingers crossed and see how the page ranks.
I'm new to seomoz, but it's great to be part of a group with experts like you!

Hey James,

It's a wonderful community and quite addictive too!
Here's a post that I made a while back that might help you find your way around ... a couple of extra resources in the comments too.
Look forward to seeing you around in the future.

Hi James,
No worries
To give googlebot a little help, you can use the "Fetch as Googlebot" feature in webmaster tools to introduce the page to the crawler. Once the URL has been fetched, click the "submit to index" button to give it a head start.

Sha,
Thanks so much!! Seems so simple now, but I overlooked this. I switched it to index now and hopefully google will pick it up and start ranking it (high)
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

Hi James,
I see this in the source code of the URL you referenced:
<meta content="noindex, nofollow" name="robots">
That might do it
Sha

What referrer is shown in http request when google crawler visit a page?
Is it legit to show different content to http request having different referrer? case a: user view one page of the site with plenty of information about one brand, and click on a link on that page to see a product detail page of that brand, here I don't want to repeat information about the brand itself case b: a user view directly the product detail page clicking on a SERP result, in this case I would like to show him few paragraph about the brand Is it bad? Anyone have experience in doing it? My main concern is google crawler. Should not be considered cloaking because I am not differentiating on user-agent bot-no-bot. But when google is crawling the site which referrer will use? I have no idea, does anyone know? When going from one link to another on the website, is google crawler leaving the referrer empty?

Google is indexing the wrong page
Hello, I have a site I am optimizing and I cant seem to get a particular listing onto the first page due to the fact google is indexing the wrong page. I have the following scenario. I have a client with multiple locations. To target the locations I set them up with URLs like this /<cityname>-wedding-planner.</cityname> The home page / is optimized for their port saint lucie location. the page /palm-city-wedding-planner is optimized for the palm city location. the page /stuart-wedding-planner is optimized for the stuart location. Google picks up the first two and indexes them properly, BUT the stuart location page doesnt get picked up at all, instead google lists / which is not optimized at all for stuart. How do I "let google know" to index the stuart landing page for the "stuart wedding planner" term? MOZ also shows the / page as being indexed for the stuart wedding planner term as well but I assume this is just a result of what its finding when it performs its searches.

Google fluctuates its result on Chrome's private browsing
I have seen an interesting Google behaviour this morning. As usual, I would open Chrome's private browsing to see how a keyword is ranking. This was what I see... Typed in "sell my car", I see Auto Trader page on 3rd. (Ref:Sell My Car 1st result img) Googled something else, then re-Googled "sell my car" and saw that our page went to 2nd! I repeated the same process and saw that we went from 3rd to 2nd again. Has Google results gone mental? PaGXJ.png

Does google detect all updated page with new links
as paid links? Example: A PR 4 page updates the page a year later with new links. Does Google discredit these links as being fishy?
