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

How to delete a Google My Business Account?
I am handling a client's account that has been closed for two years now. We do not have any access anymore to any of the emails that we used to create, we also forgot what were those. So what I did, I claimed it using my company email. Got the code and was able to claim it. Now it is showing up on my GMB Account. I have read the posts on here and some Youtube videos. Here are the steps I have taken: 1. Opened google.com/business 2. Clicked on the Location 3. Click on the three lines at the top left 4. Here is where I am having a problem. The Settings on here is not for the listing but for my company email. Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing: 1. https://prnt.sc/in8vsr 2. https://prnt.sc/in8wax Please help experts. Cheers,

Google AMP or CDN?
Hello. I'm running a CMS that cannot currently support both CDN and Google AMP. I would have to choose one or the other. Does anyone have any insight on which may be the better choice until I can figure out how to have both? I installed CDN first to reduce the time it took for my pages/images to load. I'd like to have AMP because it can do the same, and perhaps be a little more Google friendly (their product). I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks! Steve

How does Google treat Dynamic Titles?
Let's say my website can be accessed in only 3 states Colorado, Arizona and Ohio. I want to display different information to each visitor based on where they are located. For this I would also like the title to change based on their location. Not quite sure how Google we treat the title and rank the site.... Any resources you can provide would be helpful. Thanks

Redirect closing established site to another established site.
We have 2 ecommerce websites with duplicate product/category content that have been around for years. "Site A" since 2004 and "Site B" since 2011. "Site B" doesn't generate many sells and we want to close the site in fear that it may look spammy to google and since we don't want to upkeep the site. Couple questions:
On-Page Optimization | | Tuurbo
1. Is it possible that "Site B" has damaged "Site A" with google since they are so similar?
2. Can i 301 redirect all of "Site B" to "Site A" without hurting "Site A"?
3. If question 2 is ok, should i use the "Change of Address" tool in google webmaster tools to point "Site B" to "Site A"? Thanks!0 -
Blocking Subdomain from Google Crawl and Index
Hey everybody, how is it going? I have a simple question, that i need answered. I have a main domain, lets call it domain.com. Recently our company will launch a series of promotions for which we will use cname subdomains, i.e try.domain.com, or buy.domain.com. They will serve a commercial objective, nothing more. What is the best way to block such domains from being indexed in Google, also from counting as a subdomain from the domain.com. Robots.txt, No-follow, etc? Hope to hear from you, Best Regards,
