Pages not cached
-
Sorry for all the questions.
I have dozens of article pages that are not cached by google. How can I get them cached?
-
Your site is being properly indexed, your pages are appearing as expected in Google SERPs and you see the cached pages but you do not see the header at the top of the cached pages which says "This is Google's cache of [url]. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on [date]".
Is the above an accurate description of what you are seeing?
-
Kind of, it doesn't show a cache date.
-
If I understand you correctly, the pages in question appear in Google results and show a cache link, but when you click the cache link nothing happens? or a blank page appears?
-
It's weird. When I take some specific copy and insert it in google, the article comes up, but then when I click the "cached" link it doesn't show a cache. What's that?
-
I have a link off my homepage to my main article directory page. On that page is about a dozen or more category links. Click on a category, and then you have links to all the articles in that category So that's what, one click off homepage, second click on category, third click on actual article.
-
Are the pages currently indexed? If not, then the advice Bevelwise offered could help.
If the pages are appearing in the index, then the steps Bevelwise suggested would not benefit you. Normally Google will cache the pages. Any chance these pages have a meta tag set to disable caching?
-
I would ensure that you have submitted an .xml sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools that includes those article pages. That will help. Also if you make an HTML sitemap on your website and include links to those article pages that will also help.
Also depending on how your site architecture is setup affects how Google crawls your website. Are those article pages 2-3 clicks away from the website? Are all the links crawl-able html?

Rel Conical - Mobile page
I have two pages that have essentially the same content, same page title etc. however one is the mobile version of the other. Is it appropriate to use the rel canonical tag with these two pages? So the pages are: www.example.com/product www.example.com/mobile/product If rel canonical is not appropriate what, if anything should I do?

Product page reviews issues
Hi, We've implemented pagination on the reviews with rel=next/prev, but have seen no improvements since this. An example page with reviews is here. Can you see any issues on this that would be causing the problem? Thanks!

Help with the indexation of my page
Hi all, I have a problem with my website. When writing site:www.pinesapiensa.com there're no pages indexed although the webmaster tools tells me that the sitemap file has been processed in 13 May and the number of indexed paged are 21. ¿What could be happening? I have to mention that there are two domains "www.piensapiensa.es" and "www.piensapiensa.com" addressing the same website and there's a redirection from piensapiensa.com to piensapiensa.com but it doesn't work properly. Thanks

Local Service Pages
We've all been here before if you do local. What type of content should go on a local service page when dealing with multiple service locations? You could: Describe Services List Local News Articles List staff in that location (although I would prefer in the staff page for that city) Testimonials from that location or service But what happens when you are describing something that needs no explanation. Or a medical procedure that requires no localization and altering the wording can actually cause legal problems if misstated. Matt Cuts recommends a few sentences to a paragraph to describe a service, but my experience hasn't found this to hold up locally. Any ideas or suggestions about how this could be remedied?

Number of Words Product Pages
Hello, Can you give me some examples of how many words you use for product pages? I know it's going to vary and that quality is more important than number of words, but what's been optimal for you and why?

Do product pages need unique content or does having duplcate content hurt on those pages?
We are adding product rapidly to our website but this requires allowing duplicate to exist on our product pages of furniture-online.com. From an SEO standpoint do we need to make this content unique for each product. Since we aren't link building to specific product pages and we don't anticipate product pages being found in a search result, are we ok leaving the duplicate content in place and spending our dollars elsewhere?

Page Length Rule of Thumb
Is there a rule of thumb from an SEO perspective on page length (there are obviously UX considerations)? Do Google and Bing ignore content beyond a certain length like with Page Titles? Thanks.
