Google Console returning zero data
-
Hi. I verified my site both www. and non www. with google search console a while back and yet for neither domain am I seeing any data at all under Search Appearance and under index status (under google index) it is saying 0 pages indexed even though I can see in google search there are over 116.
Any idea why this might be?
Thanks

Hi Cosi,
Check also if you have registered the right protocol of your domain http vs. https or if you have register the right subdomain (maybe you're not using www or non-www, but another subdomain?) - definitely looks as the type of situation where you haven't register the property with the "right" name and the final location of your site where your content and information is (maybe you're redirecting to another place?) if you don't see any data for it, neither indexation, crawling or search visibility.
Another hypothesis would be that you still have very very few pages and that's why you don't obtain any data for the search visibility, however, you should be able to see it on the crawling and indexation reports.
The final one would be that you're blocking all crawling and indexation from happening on your site and therefore you don't have any. Take a look at the robots.txt configuration, also any potential blockage at other levels, such as server level in htaccess or even with the noindex meta robots tags (although that would block the indexation and not the crawling).
Thanks,
Aleyda

the fetch as google redirection is a bit suspicious..
is there a redirection from www to non www version for the domain? -
Hi,
Yes for both the www. domain and non www domain - the sitemap is there and under the sitemap report it says 107 pages submitted and 80 indexed. Robots.txt file is read and when I look for the main pages under Fetch as Google it comes back with successful redirects though not sure why they are redirects? But in spite of all that working - it is still returning 0 for pages indexed under the index status. The www. domain has been in search console for over a year. The non www domain I only verified yesterday.
Thanks

Hi - that makes sense but I also am seeing 0 pages as being indexed by google in the index status report - how can that be right?
And yes im using the search console report - so where that link takes you
Thanks

Hi Cosi
Search appereance can be clean and empty from data, for example if you do not have any html improvement suggestions from google or any structured data, this section will be virtually empty.
Can you see any data under Search Traffic? for example try this url:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/search-analytics

I have more pages in my site map being blocked by the robot file than I have being allowed to be crawled. Is Google going to hate me for this?
Using some rules to block all pages which start with "copy-of" on my website because people have a bad habit of duplicating new product listings to create our refurbished, surplus etc. listings for those products. To avoid Google seeing these as duplicate pages I've blocked them in the robot file, but of course they are still automatically generated in our sitemap. How bad is this?

Google Indexed = 35, 445 pages, Bing Indexed = 243 pages... Why?
Dear MozSquad, Can anyone check our site and let me know if there's anything super apparent that would cause Bing to treat us like a bum on the street? I recently made some structural changes which really helped with Google, but Bing didn't even budge. It's a lot harder to keep up with all the SEO initiatives I have in mind with it being a small start-up where I'm responsible for planning the entire Internet Marketing campaign, giving constant input on UX and site design, etc on top of 900 other things, so I figured it'd be a good time to use The Moz to help a brother out. Ideas? Domain: homeandgardendesignideas.com (yeah, I know it's a little long =P)

What´s the penalization extent applied by Google?
Hi! I still don´t get this web site penalization applied by Google due to duplicate content. My site has many of pages that were among the first positions for top keywords (A Photoshop web site). Those pages were linked by sites like LifeHacker, BoingBoing, Microsiervos, SmashingMagazine, John Nack, and many other well known blogs. After mid February 2012 everything went down the drain. I lost half of my traffic and my well ranked pages are now almost nowhere to be found. I have plenty of ads in some pages of my site, and duplicate content (amazon product description only) in other pages of my site. So, the good quality pages my site has, are no longer considered as good quality just because I have some duplicate content or ad filled pages? I´m not complaining. I´m trying to understand this. Google needs to serve good information to their visitors. But since they found some trash in my site, they decide to remove both the trash and the good information from the search engine? That doesn´t sound logical to me. Why don´t they just remove the trash and leave the good content? Of course, I understand that information is added everyday and some may come up with something better than mine, but dropping 40 or more places in the ranking sounds more like a penalty to me. Again, I´m not complaining (although it sounds like I am!), just want to understand the reasons behind this. Thanks, Enrique
