Google Webmaster says "0" pages indexed
-
Built my first Wordpress site. It launched a few months ago. Google has crawled 76 pages so far. But why are 0 indexed?
-
Just checking what's going on here. The original question was asked by Courtney, but now followup questions are being asked by Eada Yeoh?
Are we still taking about the same original question here? Are Courtney and Eada talkiing about the same issue with the same site? It doesn't appear so to me.
Eada, if you're question is about a different site/issue, you need to ask it in it's own question, rather than mixing it in with Courtney's question.

In case some of you aren't sure of what is happening, I am going to repeat it again.
First my site was de-indexed due to wrong .htaccess, it was then resolved and i asked Google to crawl back my site. On the second day, i was back on the first page for all keywords but everything got de-indexed within ONE hour. How can it possibly disappear within ONE hour? I checked GWT and the site have been crawled. What's happening??

Guys! I checked Google Webmaster Tools and it finally crawled my site but it still isnt appearing anywhere in Google.
When i googled the site name, it appears on the first page but it isnt ranking for any of the keywords anymore. What s happening? How can it suddenly disappear within 1 hour?

This is what I found on my site per your recommendations. @Paul, the box WAS unchecked...and under the Robot settings I found the following all checked:
<label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_cat_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Category Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_tag_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Tag Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_author_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Author Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_date_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Date Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_search_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Search Archives?</label>Then below that, the following boxes are unchecked:
<label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive]">Apply
noarchive
to Entire Site?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_cat_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Category Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_tag_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Tag Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_author_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Author Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_date_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Date Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_search_archive]">Apply
noarchive

Thanks guys! I will try this and let you know what happens! I really appreciate the advice.

In WordPress, this problem is almost always caused by a setting that is put in place during development, and not removed when the site goes live, Courtney.
Click the Settings button in your WordPress admin sidebar, then click the Reading link. On that page, look for the Discourage search engines from indexing this site box. It must NOT have a check mark in it in order for the search engines to index your website's pages.
Remove the check mark, click Save Changes, then wait a day or two and the search engines should begin indexing your pages as they crawl them.
I've included a screenshot of the page where you need to make the changes.
If that check-marked box isn't your problem, you'll need to post or PM the website address so someone can look at it directly for other possible issues.
Did that do the trick?

would you feel comfortable sending us your URL?
I believe Daniel may be onto something as it sounds like your robots.txt says no index no archive Just a guess.
you can submit your site manually to Google through this
http://www.google.com/submityourcontent/website-owner/
and here is some information on how to get Google to crawl your website faster. However 1st I would test it out
http://yoast.com/how-to-get-google-to-crawl-your-site-faster/
to make sure your site is functioning correctly I would use some of that fantastic free tools from Internet marketing ninjas here
http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/google-sitemap-generator/
I would run your site through the link above and see what you get. I also would check your robot text by simply typing in your domain name the top here and ending update it will show your current robot text settings. You can then make a new robot text file based on allowing things more than disallowing and allowed the search engines in. The 1st link above will tell you if you have no followers and things like that.

I hope I have been of help,

Have you submitted a sitemap and do you have robots.txt uploaded to the root folder of your site?

Fire a tag when element is loaded on page (Google Tag Manager)
I'm using an Element Visibility trigger to track a value that appears on a page. However, I want to track this value even when the user doesn't scroll to the area of the page where the element is (i.e. when the page is loaded, and the value is displayed below the fold, but the user doesn't scroll down there). Is there a way of doing this

How to Diagnose "Crawled - Currently Not Indexed" in Google Search Console
The new Google Search Console gives a ton of information about which pages were excluded and why, but one that I'm struggling with is "crawled - currently not indexed". I have some clients that have fallen into this pit and I've identified one reason why it's occurring on some of them - they have multiple websites covering the same information (local businesses) - but others I'm completely flummoxed. Does anyone have any experience figuring this one out?

Hello, This is a strange one for me. We have 301 redirected our .com domain to the .co.uk domain. The strange thing is that if you gogole the .com domain (theloanengine.com) there is a result with the website description. If you click on the result you are redirected tot he website homepage. One other thing: I've discovered this 301 issue because Google Analytics started to show me a few days ago referrals from the .com domain. I don't know if these things are connected. Cornel
