Website Crawl problems
-
I have a feeling that Google doesn't crawl my website.
E.g. this blogpost - I copy a sentence from it and paste it to Google. The page that shows up in search results is www.silvamethodlife.com/page/9/ - which is just a blog page with all the articles listed, not the link to the article itself!
Did anyone ever have this problem? It's definitely some technical issue.
Any advice will be deeply appreciated
Thanks

When i use the same tactic as you defined in your question’s explanation i was able to see your page in the search results...
Use this common in search bar to see how many pages are indexed in Google ‘site:example.com’.
May be not all the pages are indexed, for that try and check the following two things:
- Make sure all pages of the website are follow,index for Google and other search engines
- Update your sitemap and submit it to Google webmaster tool and you will see the efficiency in website page index.
Hope this helps!

I noticed that your category pages specify noindex,follow and index,follow. Might want to make a decision there.
Google has indexed 676 pages of the 817 on your site and, since their are quite a few URLs that specify nofollow correctly without the additional index like mentioned above, I'd say that is about right.
Did not see the issue you spoke of when I checked some random sentences.
Wouldn't be concerned unless you notice this is coupled with a decrease in organic traffic. If so start looking at off page factors.

Merging websites
My company (A) is about the merge with another company (B). The long-term plan is not to keep their brand or website. In terms of the merge process, I have been doing a bit of research and this is how I'm thinking about doing it so far., which is open minded about changing... On the homepage of company B, do a 302 redirect to an information page on the same website which details the merger. This will only be for a year. After a year has passed, do a 301 redirect to the homepage of company A Do 301 redirects from all other pages to similar pages on company A. For pages that don't correspond, either do a 302 to the 'merger detail page', or do a 301 to the homepage of company A. Bring across any content that is effective at driving traffic. Contact all high authority websites that have links to company B and request for them to be updated. Any tips/corrections appreciated. Stu

Magento Trailing Slash URL Problem
Howdy Mozzers! Our magento store URL's are accessible with or without a trailing slash at the end. Canonical's and 301 redirects are not set up for one of them at the moment. Will this cause duplicate issue? Do we need to set canonical or 301 up? Which one is recommended? MozAddict

Effects of having both http and https on my website
You are able to view our website as either http and https on all pages. For example: You can type "http://mywebsite.com/index.html" and the site will remain as http: as you navigate the site. You can also type "https://mywebsite.com/index.html" and the site will remain as https: as you navigate the site. My question is....if you can view the entire site using either http or https, is this being seen as duplicate content/pages? Does the same hold true with "www.mywebsite.com" and "mywebsite.com"? Thanks!

How would you optimise a news website?
I have been asked for advice on how to optimise a news website whose keywords, almost by definition, change every day according to the articles being written. How would you, for example, do SEO for the NYtimes.com? Great content and subsequent links I'm sure take care of themselves. Just onsite then? If so.... what?
