New pages on my web site
-
I have created web sites that appear somewhere on Google in hardly any time at all,
but I appear to have forgotten something or things are different for pages added recently to an existing website.
I have added a page on a particular subject, optimized it using on page grader, so that I get an A, and a check mark for everything except H1 tags and rel=canonical which my web hosting provider does not support. I do have a check mark for accessible to search engines
The page has the format http://www.domain.com/specific-keyword
It is in the menu, so should have internal links to it, as I understand it.
I have created a new site map, and submitted it in webmaster tools.
Interestingly it says that of the 96 pages only 76 were indexed
is this a clue? and why would they not index a page
I have then shared the page on google plus, facebook, tumblr, pinterest and twitter and some others
In OSE it comes up as domain authority 28 page authority 1, the social media shares do show up in metrics on the right but no links internal or external are shown, they do on other pages I created in the same way.
Is it just a case of waiting or is their something I do to help
thank you

As Ryan mentioned, OSE is updated on a schedule. Our next update is scheduled for March 11th. We try to update it -- barring any technical difficulties -- at least once a month.
-
That has definitely fixed the problem the page is on the second page of google
and I can carry on building it up
Thanks very much
-
Ok my site is back up and the new robots,txt file has been uploaded and submitted to google,
I have tested that the site map is allowing robots.
and it is, but no change yet to the OSE and search results.
I will wait to see if these are any changes
Thanks again
-
hmm I found a robots.txt editor in Google webmaster tools
downloaded the new file and uploaded it to my file manager
then discovered that my whole site had crashed page not found
dunno if I caused it, or the host was already having probems
gotta wait and see now, Their live chat help is also not working and I have sent an email so it does look like it's their problem
How can the robots.txt file have changed if I did not do it
-
You'll want to contact your hosting company or look at their FAQ on how to edit robots.txt. Cheers!
-
actually there is no file of that name in my file manager
-
hmm delete the line?, would it work if I deleted the file upload a blank text file named robots.txt
-
That certainly could be causing problems. It'd be best to delete that line.
-
thanks for the quick response I looked in robots.txt and found this:
User-agent: * Disallow: Sitemap: http://www.realsingingtelegrams.com/sitemap.xml is that causing the problem?
-
GWT very infrequently shows a 100% of pages submitted via sitemap matching pages indexed, but there could be a few very reasonable reasons for this. For example, you could be disallowing a portion of pages in your robots.txt file that are listed in your sitemap.
As for OSE explorer, you're most likely looking at link data from prior to the last update. In that case, any linking and work done won't be recorded by OSE until the next update is made live. Here's the latest on their scheduling: http://moz.com/products/api. Short answer: keep doing what you're doing, and wait a bit on the reporting numbers to update. Cheers!

How to know exactly which page links to a 404 page on my website?
Hi Moz users, Sometimes I get 404 crawl errors using Moz Pro and when my website has a few dozen pages it is hard for me to find the original page that links to a 404 page. Is there a way to find this automatically using Moz or do I have to look for it manually? I just need to find the original link and delete it to fix my 404 issue. Please let me know thank you for you help. -Marc

How do I find out which pages are being indexed on my site and which are not?
Hi, I doing my first technical audit on my site. I am learning how to do an audit as i go and am a lost. I know some page won't be indexed but how do I: 1. Check the site for all pages, both indexed and not indexed 2. Run a report to show indexed pages only (i am presuming i can do this via screaming Frog or webmaster tool) 3. I can do a comparison between the two list and work out which pages are not being indexed. I'll then need to figure out way. I'll cross this bridge once i get to it Thanks Ben

What does this error mean when starting a new campaign
hi just about to start a new campaign to i can monitor my website and i get this message up but not sure what this means. Roger has detected a problem: We have detected that the domain www.headlineplus.com and the domain headlineplus.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here. can anyone please let me know why this message comes up please

Seomoz on-page analysis, how strict to be
Hello, In a competitive niche, how important is it to be strict with the seomoz on-page analysis? If it gives a page/keyword an A, am I good to go? Or do I need to be more strict in that. We've had some competition move above us and we want to make sure we're on-site optimized well. site: nlpca(dot)com Thanks.

Open Site explorer (last 1-3 updates) shows new and wierd results
Hi Moz'ers! I have a questions for you guys. Can you explain why the website "Netspiren" has a lower "domain Authority" than "Duft og Natur"? See screenshot. I know it's a tough question without a detailed analysis, but looking at OSE's data, does the mozrank,moztrust, C-block don't reflect the power of the Domain Authority. What's you take? BTW: "Netspiren" has always had more and better links, and also had a higher Domain Authority. Something about the Domain Authority changed since the past 1-3 OXE updates. Looking forward for your take on this! Have a good weekend! mnRPI.png

On Page missing keywords
I setup my keywords on SEOMoz properly but the On Page result just shows me 2 keywords instead of the 7 that I set for my campaign. I was expecting the application to score the other keywords on wednesday but it did not add the missing keywords. Is this a bug?
