Problem of indexing
-
Hello, sorry, I'm French and my English is not necessarily correct.
I have a problem indexing in Google.
Only the home page is referenced: http://bit.ly/yKP4nD.
I am looking for several days but I do not understand why.
I looked at:
-
The robots.txt file is ok
-
The sitemap, although it is in ASP, is valid with Google
-
No spam, no hidden text
-
I made a request for reconsideration via Google Webmaster Tools and it has no penalties
-
We do not have noindex
So I'm stuck and I'd like your opinion.
thank you very much
A.

Ah!
I've found it!
You have a canonical link on each page?
| rel="canonical" href="http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/Default.asp" /> |
This is not so good, as it is on http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/vins-vallee-du-rhone-nord.htm AND http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/PBHotNews.asp?PBMInit=1
If you remove that (and keep it on the start page) you should experience a whole lot of indexing in the following days
Best regards
Rasmus

You are correct. I've just found this page:
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
It says:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Allows all robots to all pages.So that was my mistake. I am truly sorry for the confusion.
I will have a look at it later to see if I can find a good explanation...

Hi Rasmus,
User-agent: *
Disallow:means that all robots can enter the site
User-agent: *
Disallow: /block all robots to enter.
User-agent: WebCrawler
Disallow:block WebCrawler robot, but other can enter
Always first line of robots.txt tells what robots can crawl a site and * means all. Second and next lines are pointing specific catalogues on a server e.g. Disallow: /admin/
So I think that is not a robots.txt issue - please ensure me
-
Hi again,
Do you use Google Webmaster tools?
In Webmaster tools you can see how many URLs on your site that has been restricted due to robots.txt file. Perhaps that could give you a clue.
I would recommend that you take a look at webmaster tools. All in all there are a lot of good information in there for optimizing your site.
Best regards
Rasmus

Thanks for your answer.
OK I will edit the file but I am not convinced that this is causing my problem because it was written that way.
Take care

Actually your robots.txt is NOT ok. It says:
Sitemap: http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/Sitemap.asp?AccID=27018&LangID=0 User-agent: * Disallow: Which means that all pages are to be disallowed. You should have: User-agent: * Allow: /
If you change that, it should fix it!

Ranking problems with international website
Hey there, we have some ranking issues with our international website. It would be great if any of you could share their thoughts on that. The website uses subfolders for country and language (i.e. .com/uk/en) for the website of the UK branch in English. As the company has branches all over the world and also offers their content in many languages the url structure is quite complex. A recent problem we have seen is that in certain markets the website is not ranking with the correct country. Especially in the UK and the US, Google prefers the country subfolder for Ghana (.com/gh/en) over the .com/us/en and .com/uk/en versions. We have hreflang setup and should also have some local backlinks pointing to the correct subfolders as we switched from many ccTLDs to one gTLD. What confuses me is that when I check for incoming links (Links to your site) with GWT, the subfolder (.com/gh/en) is listed quite high in the column (Your most linked content). However the listed linking domains are not linking at all to this folder as far as I am aware. If I check them with a redirect checker they all link to different subfolders. So I have now idea why Google gives such high authority to this subfolder over the specific country subfolders. The content is pretty much identical at this stage. Has any of you experienced similar behaviour and could point me in a promising direction? Thanks a lot. Regards, Jochen

Problem with internal links
Hello! Our domain, http://www.unionroom.com/, is having a strange issue with OSE in that it is telling us our internal pages aren't linking to one another. An example of this is that it is showing our About page ( http://www.unionroom.com/about/ ) only having three links, but this link appears twice on every single page on the website (~200 pages) in the header and footer. We've hung around for a little while to see if OSE would correct itself, but it hasn't and this now suggests that it may be an issue with our in-linking structure. Can anyone spot any issues with our build? The rest of the websites that we produce, that are all built in the same way, all have healthy internal linking structures according to OSE. Very confusing! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to Index Faster?
Hello, I have a new website and updated fresh content regularly. My indexing status is very slow. When I search how to improve my indexing rate by Google, I found most of the members of Moz community replied there is no certain technique to improve your indexing. Apart from this you should keep posting fresh content more and more and wait for Google Indexing. Some of them asked for submitting sitemap and share posts on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus. Well the above comments are from the year of 2012. I'm curious to know is there any new technique or methods are used to improve indexing rate? Need your suggestions! Thanks.

Technical Automated Content - Indexing & Value
One of my clients provides some Financial Analysis tools, which generate automated content on a daily basis for a set of financial derivatives. Basically they try to estimate through technical means weather a particular share price is going up or down, during the day as well as their support and resistance levels. These tools are fairly popular with the visitors, however I'm not sure on the 'quality' of the content from a Google Perspective. They keep an archive of these tools which tally up to nearly a 100 thousand pages, what bothers me particularly is that the content in between each of these varies only slightly. Textually there are maybe up to 10-20 different phrases which describe the move for the day, however the page structure is otherwise similar, except for the Values which are thought to be reached on a daily basis. They believe that it could be useful for users to be able to access back-dated information to be able to see what happened in the past. The main issue is however that there is currently no back-links at all to any of these pages and I assume Google could deem these to be 'shallow' provide little content which as time passes become irrelevant. And I'm not sure if this could cause a duplicate content issue; however they already add a Date in the Title Tags, and in the content to differentiate. I am not sure how I should handle these pages; is it possible to have Google prioritize the 'daily' published one. Say If I published one today; if I had to search "Derivative Analysis" I would see the one which is dated today rather then the 'list-view' or any other older analysis.

Duplicate peices of content on multiple pages - is this a problem
I have a couple of WordPress clients with the same issue but caused in different ways: 1. The Slash WP theme which is a portfolio theme, involves setting up multiple excerpts of content that can then be added to multiple pages. So although the pages themselves are not identical, there are the same snippets of content appearing on multiple pages 2. A WP blog which has multiple categories and/or tags for each post, effectively ends up with many pages showing duplicate excerpts of content. My view has always been to noindex these pages (via Yoast), but was advised recently not to. In both these cases, even though the pages are not identical, do you think this duplicate content across multiple pages could cause an issue? All thoughts appreciated

Indexed non existent pages, problem appeared after we 301d the url/index to the url.
I recently read that if a site has 2 pages that are live such as: http://www.url.com/index and http://www.url.com/ will come up as duplicate if they are both live... I read that it's best to 301 redirect the http://www.url.com/index and http://www.url.com/. I read that this helps avoid duplicate content and keep all the link juice on one page. We did the 301 for one of our clients and we got about 20,000 errors that did not exist. The errors are of pages that are indexed but do not exist on the server. We are assuming that these indexed (nonexistent) pages are somehow linked to the http://www.url.com/index The links are showing 200 OK. We took off the 301 redirect from the http://www.url.com/index page however now we still have 2 exaact pages, www.url.com/index and http://www.url.com/. What is the best way to solve this issue?
