Pages crawled
-
Hi
I've created a campaign for my own website and added 3 competitor sites. Under the campaign it says that 53 pages have been crawled but my site has less than 10 pages. Are the other pages from my competitor sites?
Thanks

Hi James,
Did you see the number of pages crawled reduced? Do you have any questions on this issue still?
-
I believe so, it should...

I'm going to make the change to my pages. Do you think I will see the number of pages crawled reduce?
Thanks

Hi James,
www and non-www are already 2 paths, www.example.com/ and www.example.com are another two. You can play with the idea
Also, you can focus more the link juice.
For ex. let's have Fritzy and Googgly, two visitors who would like to link you product page.
Fritzy will link to www.example.com/product/ -> with anchor text "product" (cool, eh'? We wish all of our links would look like this)
Then comes Googgly and links to the same product with the URL http://example.com/product/
Now you will have duplicate content linked separately and you wasted the link juice.
Just add a canonical to example.com/product/ which point the link juice to www.example.com/product/ -> you will transfer aprox 85% of link juice gained on example.com/product/ + it will not be duplicate content.
- another good part of canonicals is that you don't have two pages competing for the same keyword with same content.
I hope I didn't mass up here something
Another thing that you could do is just to 301 non-www to www or vice versa.

Hi Istvan
Thanks for the information and the link to the blog article which I have read. I've got no problem adding the canonical link but I don't see why it should improve the situation becuase all my pages are linked using the same parameters. From what I understand from the blog article is that this fixes an issue when the search engines keep coming back to the same page but thinks it is a different page becuase the URL it uses to reach the page is different. Am I understanding this correctly?
Thanks

Hi James,
So I have just took a quick look at the code. You don't use the canonicals at all.
Maybe you should check the following article by Rand Fishkin http://www.seomoz.org/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps
It will help you eliminate dup. content from the site. After you implement the to the site you should have less pages indexed.
Feel free to ask if something was not clear enough.
Cheers,
Istvan

Hi James,
Are you sure you don't have any duplicate content issue?
For ex.usage of canonicals can save you from having your pages as duplicate content.
example.com and www.example.com are the same, but in the "eyes" of Search Engines, bots, spiders, etc they are different pages with duplicate content.
Maybe you should provide a link to your site, and I will check on it later.
I hope this helps,
Istvan

Will noindex pages still get link equity?
We think we get link equity from some large travel domains to white label versions of our main website. These pages are noindex because they're the same URLs and content as our main B2C website and have canonicals to the pages we want indexed. Question is, is there REALLY link equity to pages on our domain which have "noindex,nofollow" on them? Secondly we're looking to put all these white label pages on a separate structure, to better protect our main indexed pages from duplicate content risks. The best bet would be to put them on a sub folder rather than a subdomain, yes? That way, even though the pages are still noindex, we'd get link equity from these big domains to www.ourdomain.com/subfolder where we wouldn't to subdomain.ourdomain.com? Thank you!

Google Analytics - Tracking multiple thankyou pages?
Hi Guys, I want to track email opt-ins for multiple thank you pages. The setup is as follows: http://image.prntscr.com/image/57632e05a15f42fda0b8ffec2d176460.png I have not yet built the thank you pages, so i was wondering what the URL should be to make it easy to track them in GA? I'm thinking: domain.com/thankyou-page/page1 Then using regular expression in GA to track /thankyou-page/ Would this be a good way to go about it? Cheers. f6c7r0

What determines the page order of site:domain?
Whenever I use site:domain.com to check what's index, it's pretty much always in the same order. I gather from this, the order is not random. I'm also reasonably certainly it isn't related to any page strength signals or ranking results. So, does anyone know why the pages are displayed in the order they are? What information does the order of the pages tell me? Thanks, Ruben

2 days in the past week Google has crawled 10x the average pages crawled per day. What does this mean?
For the past 3 months my site www.dlawlesshardware.com has had an average of about 400 pages crawled per day by google. We have just over 6,000 indexed pages. However, twice in the last week, Google crawled an enormous percentage of my site. After averaging 400 pages crawled for the last 3 months, the last 4 days of crawl stats say the following. 2/1 - 4,373 pages crawled 2/2 - 367 pages crawled 2/3 - 4,777 pages crawled 2/4 - 437 pages crawled What is the deal with these enormous spike in pages crawled per day? Of course, there are also corresponding spikes in kilobytes downloaded per day. Essentially, Google averages crawling about 6% of my site a day. But twice in the last week, Google decided to crawl just under 80% of my site. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas? I have literally no idea what this means and I haven't found anyone else with the same problem. Only people complaining about massive DROPS in pages crawled per day. Here is a screenshot from Webmaster Tools: http://imgur.com/kpnQ8EP The drop in time spent downloading a page corresponded exactly to an improvement in our CSS. So that probably doesn't need to be considered, although I'm up for any theories from anyone about anything.

Home page rankings disappeared - Google Penalty?
Hi, I have a clients website that I have been working on for a few months now. On-page SEO for home page is A for all target keywords. All Domain / subdomain / external link data etc. much stronger than all competition. But approx 3 months ago (before Panda update) all home page rankings (except 1 keyword) dropped out sight in Google rankings. 3 months later, still can't work out why. Sometimes rankings come back onto page 9 or so then drop out again. Deeper pages are not effected, just the Home page. Looks like a Google penalty to me but can't work out why. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Website is - www.marrikashairextensions.com Many thanks
