Getting page cached
-
I am reworking some content that is deep in my site. What is the best way for google to find it? Some of the pages were cached about 3 weeks ago, but I don't want to wait too long to get them to see the new content (and links).

Cool, will give it a try!
-
OKay, thanks again!

I haven't seen any documentation by Google supporting this. In my experience I have seen it be successful. However, I haven't run any significant tests to back it up. It has just worked for me, so hoping it works for others. However, Fetch as Googlebot was still in the labs when I saw this working, so I'm not sure if this has changed.

I've heard from others that this can be very effective and I've seen good results getting pages cached quickly (a couple of days) after using it. I've used this very sparingly, so I don't know the period for the allotment. I also used this when it was in the Google Labs. They may have made a few changes when they brought it out of the lab.

If this works, I have also learnt something new today. I always thought this just gave webmasters a chance to look at pages in the way Google would see them. Are you sure this actually sends the real Googlebot to crawl and cache a page?
I didn't see it mentioned here:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=158587Or have you found that it just speeds up the process? i.e. Google have been given some form of indication of where to visit? Definitely interesting!

Stupid question Joe, but is that safe to do? I just submitted 3 URL's successfully, and says I have 47 left. Is 50 a monthly number allotment? So if it was fetched successfully, does that mean google will be caching page soon?
This is pretty cool if it really works.
Thanks,
Mike

Go into webmaster tools > Diagnostics> Fetch as Googlebot. Enter the URL for the page you want crawled.

If your homepage is crawled regularly link to them from your homepage for a period of time. Alternatively, using social signals has worked a charm for me recently - tweet about them, share on Facebook etc, get other people to share.

Pages Competing With One Another
Hello, We are ranking for an acronym, which I understand can lead to fickle rankings. However, we have two pages ranking page one - two for the same keyword, but they do so in spite of each other. By this I mean, one page will rank, while the other is nowhere to be found. It seems that the one page (a blog post) is more likely to rank on the weekends while the product page is more likely to rank on the weekdays. I would like the product page to rank all the time, and to target another keyword with the blog post. Would removing the keyword from the blog post allow the product page to rank all the time - or would it lead to no pages ranking during times when the blog post would otherwise be ranking? I should note the blog post has more external links and is not exactly optimized for the keyword, while the product page has more internal links and is optimized for the keyword.

Keyword Appearing on Home Page - Moz Page Grader
Hi Today I entered www.partydomain.co.uk through the Moz Page Grader and found that the Home Page is Ranked B. I noticed that an Area we could improve on is the amount of times we are using our main keyword "Fancy Dress" on the home page. Please can you take a look at www.partydomain.co.uk and scroll to the bottom of the page were the tabs are containing losts of content. I am thinking about removing all of thoose Tabs. Our Competitors dont have any content as such on the home page and are ranking higher than Party Domain for "fancy dress" What do you think ? remove all the tabs to be like the others that rank better? Or cut the text right down ? Thanks Adam

How to rank well on 2 keywords - 2 separate pages or 1 combined page
Hi, I have a website about allergy. We ar developing new content, and through keyword research I have discovered that "dog allergy" and "cat allergy" are both very common searches. However, the cause, and symtoms are very alike for these 2 types of allergy so it would make sense to combine the two allergies on one page. So my question is: What do I choose to increase my chances to ranke the best I can for both "cat allergy", and "dog allergy"? Should I develop 2 separate pages for cat & dog allergy or should I do a combined page? (We would of course review the texts so no duplicate content/text would be used if we chose to have 2 pages) I would be so greatful for your advice!! Kind regards, Jeanette

10 Mobile Pages. 5 Desktop Pages. Canonnical to where?
I have a mobile site with more pages than the desktop site. Normally I would just point the page equivalents to the desktop site using the rel canonnical tag. What about the 5 pages? Do I just leave them be? Thanks

Why don't all my pages have On Page Optimization Reports
Apologies if this question has been asked a million times, but I can't find it. I have 35 pages, yet only 5 of them have generated On Page Optimization Reports. I know I can create them manually, but wondered if I've done something incorrectly? Iain.

Or is it an issue at all? Thanks, BJ
