Anyone know how long it takes Google to Index new site?
-
Could anyone let me know how long it takes for a NEW site to be indexed in Google please? Am having some robots.txt issues and am keen to see if it got indexed. Thanks!

Thanks Aran - very creative

Heres another, I'm pretty sure i heard of a company in the UK (might have been US) that recycles shipping containers and uses them as pre-fabricated building blocks.
ooo...I found something similar on wiki..

Keri,
Love it, I can see you are really getting into this container thing!
Seriously, some really good ideas there..I actually cam across a guy on youtube who had made an underground bunker out of a used shipping container and got 1.3 million views and a ton of media coverage!Good luck with the move!

Sofia,
What about some content related to unusual uses for cargo containers?
Another idea might be using a cargo container for a personal/business move. If you were in the US, we'd be wanting to talk to you right now! My husband and I are moving from California to Seattle, and he's interested in seeing if we can get a used cargo container, load our stuff into it, then have it dropped off in a driveway or a side yard of a place in Seattle. Some content around that would be interesting, and with how it differs from a regular move (such as needing to worry about the container being titled to put it on the truck), etc.

Hi Aran, it's certainly on the list.
Great to see you are making progress with the hangers, I have the same kind of challenges with containers
-
Have you done any social sharing of the website?
Getting your followers to RT links and the like is another great way to get noticed.

Thanks!
the domain is http://containerforsale.co.uk ,My host told me to look in the Public HTML file folder for the robots.txt file and just delete it but can't see it in there?
Google webmaster tools is saying there the sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt. (all 7 of them)
This is the display I get from http://containerforsale.co.uk/robots.txt
User-agent *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/ -
We can have a look together. But I need to see the robots.txt in order to have the chance to resolve the problem.

Hi istvan,
Thanks, I submitted the sitemap but got some robot.txt warnings so not sure if it is going to go through ok. I have already removed the robots.txt file so wondering is Google is just slow in picking that up. Guess I will know for sure when/if the site gets indexed.

Hi Sofia,
It depends on a lot of things. I have seen new websites being indexed in 24 hours, but I have seen others which needed almost a week.
If you have Google Webmaster tools, submit your sitemap, Fetch as Googlebot (basically submit to index
). Those steps can speed up things a littlebit.I hope that helped,
Istvan

On Site Question: Duplicate H2...
Hi All A few on-site audit tools pull information on duplicate H2 tags on pages. This implies it's a bad thing and should be fixed - is that the case? On one of my sites the tag-line is in H2 in the header, so appears on every page... Just wondering if this is something worth fixing. Thanks

Two sites into one
I have two sites owned by one client, he wants to merge them into one keeping one website, but which one? I've been using the Moz Pro to look at the stats for both sites; page authority, inbound links etc, but they're both fairly close in results. The client wants to know what would be the best course to take with these two sites, what site should he keep and which should he merge? Any advice?

Multilingual site with untranslated content
We are developing a site that will have several languages. There will be several thousand pages, the default language will be English. Several sections of the site will not be translated at first, so the main content will be in English but navigation/boilerplate will be translated. We have hreflang alternate tags set up for each individual page pointing to each of the other languages, eg in the English version we have: etc In the spanish version, we would point to the french version and the english version etc. My question is, is this sufficient to avoid a duplicate content penalty for google for the untranslated pages? I am aware that from a user perspective, having untranslated content is bad, but in this case it is unavoidable at first.

No index, or no index no follow?
Wondering if I could garner some views on this issue please. I'm about to add an affiliate store to a website I own, the site has a couple of pages of unique content (blogs, articles, advice etc on home improvement - all written by my team). Obviously, the affiliate store will not be unique content, it will be made using the datafeeds from cj.com et al, and so I don't want to get any duplicate content type penalties from Google for this store. Should I add a no index to the pages and allow the bots to still crawl them, or should I add no index and no follow? Ideally I would like to get the affiliate store category pages indexed as they will be a mixture of lots of different merchants and be fairly unique. Can Google still mark the site down for duplicate content if it can crawl it, even if it is noindex? Thanks, Carl

Meta Title in Google does not match the HTML meta title I have coded in a site
I have a client site that is pulling a meta title that is not in his code. I am using Yoast for the titles and descriptions on this site. Not 100% sure why Google is not listing the title we have in place. Could the code be pulling from somewhere else? Is there a fix for this?

Does this site have a duplicate content issue?
Google WMT is showing me only 2 short meta descriptions under "HTML Improvements" but I believe http://www.customgia.com may have a content duplication issue. Numerous keywords are used repeatedly across many product descriptions. To make matters worse, every product page has a "Design It!" button that sends the user to a flash-based jewelry designer in which they can edit the product's appearance. I'm not sure if these "designer pages" are adding unnecessary and potentially damaging duplicate content but it's certainly a possibility. There are many items on this site that are similar to one another but not the same. The product description tend to use the same phrases over and over again - words like crystal, Swarovski, beaded, design it, customize, change, pearl, glass beads, iridescent, pearl, drop earrings are used a lot. What I'm stuck on is whether or not I should be focusing on a content duplication issue as the primary SEO problem or if there is something bigger. Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

New site not ranking for it's name
Performed on-page SEO for this new site that went live a couple of weeks ago - no link building or anything of that nature yet. http://maven-management.com I'm starting to see the site rank on Bing for some keyword phrases but it doesn't rank for the business name "Maven Management" on any major search engine. SEOMoz gives my on page optimization an A for the business name for the home page. Am I just being impatient? I didn't really put much effort into ranking for the business name because that generally seems to happen without any issue. There are other companies online with the same name. Any insight is appreciated.
