How to Index Faster?
-
Hello,
I have a new website and updated fresh content regularly. My indexing status is very slow.
When I search how to improve my indexing rate by Google, I found most of the members of Moz community replied there is no certain technique to improve your indexing. Apart from this you should keep posting fresh content more and more and wait for Google Indexing.
Some of them asked for submitting sitemap and share posts on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus.
Well the above comments are from the year of 2012.
I'm curious to know is there any new technique or methods are used to improve indexing rate?
Need your suggestions!
Thanks.

As mentioned earlier, you can create a comprehensive Sitemap.xml file and resubmit to Google. Give me your email address, I will create one for you and send it
Best regards,

The site has about 140 articles as of now. So there are 140 post URLs. This apart, there are many category, tags, author pages. So the number should be 230 URLs as indicated by Google. However, Google may show only post pages no a priority. This is just my hunch. Thanks,

Nevermind, there are about 497 pages on your website. So, I would ask you to use a comprehensive sitemap.xml file and submit it to Google. You can use a tool like GSite crawler to generate one.

Thanks for your help, Kavit
the website's URL is www.getyourtips.com
As per the results shown by PageSpeed test on Google, the website scores 69 out of 100 on mobile devices and 79 out of 100 on desktop PCs.

While there's still room for improvement, I think the scores aren't that bad at the moment? Please, take a look at the site and let me know if I could change some properties to make it load even faster.
This is a brand new website (just 2 month old) and it might take a while to establish authority or get some PageRank. Considering these, what should be the best foot forward?
Thanks,

Thanks for the info Susanta. After a quick check, I see the sitemap.xml that you submitted has only 130 URLs in it and there are 230 pages (omitted after 182) indexed in Google from your website. So, can you tell me how many pages are there in total in your website?

Hi Devanur,
Thanks for the help! Here's the URL of my website www.getyourtips.com
Here's a screenshot of the index status of the website on GWT: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nyrwjvvmt0novu7/Screenshot 2014-06-10 14.32.12.png
Here's a screenshot of the search queries page: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2js1oqtrtseg56g/Screenshot 2014-06-10 14.38.30.png
The website is a little over 2 months old.
We have submitted the Sitemap already.
We used to post 4 posts per day during the launch of the website but we have reduced the posting to just one per day since last week.
Would like to know if there is anything more we should do apart from submitting sites to different blog feeds to get the index more frequently.
Thanks,

Hi Susanta,
If I was you, I would focus on site performance. Having a fast responsive site means you can expose more of your site & contents to Google during each crawl.
If you have all this great content, it might be a matter of making the site faster so that Google can index more each time.
Crawl rates and indexation are largely affected by your PageRank and Authority with Google so this does get better with time as your site improves in these areas.

Hi Susanta,
If you can share the URL of your domain, we will be able to answer better as the rate of indexing differs from site to site and also depends on lot of things like the website internal linking structure, website architecture, your backlinks and the list goes on..
Sitemap.xml is definitely a good way to give the indexing rate of your website a boost. But the story does not end there as there are lot of things that come in to play.
Best regards,
Devanur Rafi

Indexing falling/search queries the same - concerned
Hello, I posted abou this a few days ago but didn't really get anywhere and now have new information after looking into it more. This is my site - http://www.whosjack.org My page indexing has been falling steadily daily currently from thousands of pages indexed to just a couple of hundred. My search queries don't seem to be currently affected, I have done crawl tests to see if the site can be crawled and put the site:whosjack.org into Google and had 12,000 results come back when goole has said it has indexed 133 and falling. However all pages indexed on the site:whosjack.org search seem to be stories with just two words in the title? I am sure I am missing out on traffic here but can't work out what the issue is and how to fix it. I have no alerts on my dashboard and when I submit sitemaps to webmaster tools I get 15,115 URLs submitted 12,088 URLs indexedwhich cant be bad?Any help/suggestions really appreciated.

Correct Syntax for Meta No Index
Hi, Is this syntax ok for the bots, especially Google to pick up? Still waiting for Google to drop lots of duplicate pages caused by parameters out of the index - if there are parameters in the querystring it inserts the code above into the head. Thanks!

Site Search Results in Index -- Help
Hi, I made a mistake on my site, long story short, I have a bunch of search results page in the Google index. (I made a navigation page full of common search terms, and made internal links to a respective search results page for each common search term.) Google crawled the site, saw the links and now those search results pages are indexed. I made versions of the indexed search results pages into proper category pages with good URLs and am ready to go live/ replace the pages and links. But, I am a little unsure how to do it /what the effects can be: Will there be duplicate content issues if I just replace the bad, search results links/URLs with the good, category page links/URLs on the navi. page? (is a short term risk worth it?) Should I get the search results pages de-indexed first and then relaunch the navi. page with the correct category URLs? Should I do a robots.txt disallow directive for search results? Should I use Google's URL removal tool to remove those indexed search results pages for a quick fix, or will this cause more harm than good? Time is not the biggest issue, I want to do it right, because those indexed search results pages do attract traffic and the navi. page has been great for usability. Any suggestions would be great. I have been reading a ton on this topic, but maybe someone can give me more specific advice. Thanks in advance, hopefully this all makes sense.

Getting 260,000 pages re-indexed?
Hey there guys, I was recently hired to do SEO for a big forum to move the site to a new domain and to get them back up to their ranks after this move. This all went quite well, except for the fact that we lost about 1/3rd of our traffic. Although I expected some traffic to drop, this is quite a lot and I'm wondering what it is. The big keywords are still pulling the same traffic but I feel that a lot of the small threads on the forums have been de-indexed. Now, with a site with 260,000 threads, do I just take my loss and focus on new keywords? Or is there something I can do to get all these threads re-indexed? Thanks!
