Google is not indexing all URLs
-
My website have company and events profile from 200 countries. So it does have lots of URL. Earlier in August 2014, Google used to crawl 90% of URLs we submit. Thing goes wrong when we shifted from http to https. We lost traffic. But we are gaining it slowly. Main concern is that, It still does not indexed all submitted URLs. It have crawled merely 8% of all URLs submitted. site address is businessvibes.com
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
It sounds like something may be getting blocked or not crawled correctly, possibly because of the move from http --> https. I assume this is handled by the .htaccess file?
I would also check to see if there are https page issues on the site. If it's bit, you may have to do some digging around, but you can see this by using Google Chrome --> right click on the page --> inspect element --> console. This will show you the errors on the page.

Hi Mossa,
Thanks for advice. We have already 2 millions of pages which are crawled. and good number of page views and session/day.
I will go with your point
-
You can see, almost all company and event profile have internal linking for other profile and events
-
We are doing that but we have pages in billion which is literally time taking as it have countries and events from 200 countries
-
It is very difficult to get backlining for billions of URLs, so branding and other activities are there to take care of that.
-
http to https have 301 redirection and all sitemap have been updated.

Before I start, why your website is using “_blank” even on internal links? This does not make any sense to me and I was literally pissed after three clicks.
Anyways, if you are interested in increasing the indexed pages here are the few things you could do:
- Improve internal linking of the website. Especially when possible link pages that are not indexed to the pages that are indexed.
- Get some social media shares (tweets) to pages that are not indexed.
- Build some quality links to the pages that are not indexed in Google.
Also, make sure that the 301 redirections from http tp https versions are correct and working and xml sitemap is updated.
If you do that I am sure that Google will not only index your pages but will also rank better from the desired key phrases.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Do you have sitemaps that could provide some insights into your indexation rate for the data that you've submitted?

404 Status Codes in Google Search Console
Hi all, I've noticed in Google Search Console under 'Crawl errors' - 1. Why does the status code '410' come up as an 'error' in the crawl report? 2. Why are some articles labelled as '404' error when they have been completely deleted and should be a '410' - there are roughly around 1000-2000 of these. Thanks!

Buffer Link and Google Impressions
Afternoon, I noticed a spike in impressions over a couple of days in April, so I investigated Analytics to see where these were coming from. It appears these impressions were split between two URLs; one was a blog post, the other was the Buffer link to the blog post that we used on Twitter and Facebook. According to Analytics, this Buffer URL received 1000 impressions over two days, with an average SERP position of 16. This surely can't be right, can it? Is this just another Analytics quirk? After two days of a decent amount of impressions to this Buffer link, the amount of impressions dropped to pretty much zero. I know Tweets are now starting to rank, but this would be the Twitter URL, not the Buffer link to our blog post? Any ideas, Cheers, Lewis

How do I best segment tablets on Google Analytics
I would like to find a way to best segment out my tablet traffic to measure performance; however I'm finding that there are road blocks. It doesn't seem that device operating systems or screen resolutions have clear cut differences in the tablet/mobile versions. Has anyone here found a good way to create a "tablet" segment in Google Analytics? Right now I'm having to lean on solely the ipad traffic to get indicators of tablet performance. Thanks!
