How to get a page re-crawed quickly
-
Does anyone know a way to get Google to re-crawl a webpage that does not belong to me.
There are a bunch of pages that I have had links removed on and I want Google to re-crawl those pages to see the links have been removed. (current wait time is way way too long)
Can anyone suggest some ways to get the page re-crawled. (I am unable to get the website owners to use WMT to do anything).
Suggestions like good ping services and various other techniques would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Anthony, I have heard this recently. My problem is I want to find a solution and repeat it 20,000 times LOL.

Posting links on Google+ has been a really good way to get new pages crawled and indexed. Even if these pages are not new, I think if you could get a few G+ profiles to submit it, it would increase the likelihood that Googlebot would crawl the page.

Hi Gary,
Webmaster Tools would have been the way to do this quickly and easily. What I would recommend is to share the URL on Twitter if you can with a couple of people. They crawl Twitter of course and will crawl your page probably sooner.

Hey Gary,
Back in the day when when I wanted Google to notice links I had built I used to ping them and it seemed to work.
Matt Cutts also touches on pinging services such as PubSubHubbub in this video where he is talking about getting Google to notice pages faster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LsB19wTt0Q#t=77 I used to use https://pingler.com/ and http://pingomatic.com/.
Also in that vid Matt talks about links on places such as Twitter. You could perhaps build links to these pages elsewhere, but weather they would get crawled any faster depends on the site I guess.
You could also submit the URL to Google. I don't know weather it would speed crawling up, worth a go though.

Is it ok to repeat a (focus) keyword used on a previous page, on a new page?
I am cataloguing the pages on our website in terms of which focus keyword has been used with the page. I've noticed that some pages repeated the same keyword / term. I've heard that it's not really good practice, as it's like telling google conflicting information, as the pages with the same keywords will be competing against each other. Is this correct information? If so, is the alternative to use various long-winded keywords instead? If not, meaning it's ok to repeat the keyword on different pages, is there a maximum recommended number of times that we want to repeat the word? Still new-ish to SEO, so any help is much appreciated! V.

Substantial difference between Number of Indexed Pages and Sitemap Pages
Hey there, I am doing a website audit at the moment. I've notices substantial differences in the number of pages indexed (search console), the number of pages in the sitemap and the number I am getting when I crawl the page with screamingfrog (see below). Would those discrepancies concern you? The website and its rankings seems fine otherwise. Total indexed: 2,360 (Search Consule)

After adding a ssl certificate to my site I encountered problems with duplicate pages and page titles
Hey everyone! After adding a ssl certificate to my site it seems that every page on my site has duplicated it's self. I think that is because it has combined the www.domainname.com and domainname.com. I would really hate to add a rel canonical to every page to solve this issue. I am sure there is another way but I am not sure how to do it. Has anyone else ran into this problem and if so how did you solve it? Thanks and any and all ideas are very appreciated.

Tips for improving this page
I have made a content placeholder for a keyword that will gain significant search volume in the future. Until then I am trying to optimize the page to rank when the game launches and the keyword gains volume. http://hiddentriforce.com/a-link-between-worlds/walkthrough/ Is there anything I can do to improve the optimization for the phrase 'a link between worlds walkthrough' A lot of my competitors are already setting up similar placeholder pages and doing the same thing. I have 2 fairly large gaming sites that will place a banner for my walkthrough on their site. I did not pay for the links. I do free writing/ other services in exchange for this. I have been sharing the link socially. It has almost 200 likes and a handful of shares, tweets, g+ votes

Quick wins for new page
Hi! I recently put this page live for a new client targeting the term 'hospitality IT' in the UK. http://www.antana.co.uk/hospitality-IT.html I've done a bit of guest blog writing and the page is currently #10. There are very links to the site overall, and only a handful to the page itself. Should I focus on building links to the root domain or the page, and is there any other quick changes I can make to give it a boost? Thanks!

Can a home page penalty cause a drop in rankings for all pages?
All my main keywords have dropped out of the SERPS. Could it be that the home page (the strongest) page has been devalued and therefore 'link juice' that used to spread throughout the site is no longer doing so. Would this cause all other pages to drop? I just can't understand how all my pages have lost rankings. The site is still indexed so there's no problem there.

Does a page on a site with high domain authority build page authority easier? i.e. less inbound links?
Is this also why people build backlinks to their BBB profiles, Yellowpages Profiles, etc. i.e. why do people build backlinks to other pages that link to them? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to just build that backlink directly to your target?
