Our blog is indexed by "google web" but does not show up in "google blogs". Why not and how can I fix this?
-
We have a pretty simple blog http://www.aviawest.com/blog
I've noticed our articles arn't showing up in Google blogs on "web", we've submitted to http://blogsearch.google.com/ping a month ago. Anyone have some insight here?

Thanks Ryan. I've been submitting but it is a process. Our rss feed doesn't seem to be accepted in blog rolls I've tried. I'm playing with feedburner to try and get one that will work properly.
I'll work on the blog sitemap as well, thanks.

That sets me on the right path. We're actually using a typepad blog integrated with deliverance. Definatly no hope of a 3rd party plugin but I'll try that pingomatic, looks like a great tool.
Thank you!

Russ is right on. you need to ping. I would also do a bit of marketing to get the blog seen in the blogosphere:
1. Manually submit your blog to google blog search. http://blogsearch.google.com/ping. Also submit to technorati and other blog directories.
2. Make sure you have an RSS or Atom feed service.
3. Get on a couple of blog rolls. This doesn have to be "high PR" type of link building, just some incoming links to help google index and identify your blog.
4. Blog Sitemap to Webmaster Tools. This will also assist in the process.

Aside from submitting there, do you ping all the blog search engines with each post? Wordpress should do this automatically, but other blog software may not.
Blog pinging services like pingomatic.com allow you to notify the blog search engines each time a new post is written. If Google doesn't see those pings, they may not have good reason to come out and check your site as often.
It actually looks like you are using Plone as your CMS. If that is the case, you may need to install a 3rd party ping tool like this...

Google won't index my website because "certain conditions" weren't met
I found the answer on this -- interestingly, I had changed registrars and they didn't pull over the DNS information correctly. This caused the above issues. Once I identified this, I updated the DNS correctly -- at registrar and server -- and things worked fine.

How do I fix a broken link to a product category page in wordpress?
We are building a new site currently at http://67.222.109.48/~cheapnan/ I started doing some SEO after the developer I hired failed to do it even though it was in the agreement. I did our old site so I should be able to do this but I am new to wordpress. Now when i go to the products tab at the top of the page the first 2 have broken links, I checked the rest and there are 3 total that I need to fix. I am unsure how to access the navigation so I can fix the links. Please tell me where to look.
