Why are some of page indexed and others not
-
I have created a site structure like this:
domain/for-sale/brand
domain/for-sale/brand-model
domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg1
domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg2
domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg3 etc....
I cannot understand why the domain/for-sale/brand-model does not seem to be indexed, yet the domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg6 is?
This is a new site, but I cannot understand why this URL would be indexed without the others...
Any ideas?
My home pages has links to the domain/for-sale/brand, this page has links to domain/for-sale/brand-model1, domain/for-sale/brand-model2 etc, each of these pages have links to domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg1, domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg2 etc...

When you're sure the page/ pages is/are accessible (no noindex
)and there is unique, text on the pages
and your pagerank >0
Google will index the page sooner or later. A good backlink or some social media posts can help.

Think you have to throw a sitemap up and do some social bookmarking and just wait. I know its infuriating esp if you've worked on site that index the same day.

I have search for the actual URL and it is not coming up in google.
I have submitted a site map including all URLs in WMT
Any similar pages that were there before have been 301'd
-
Have you tried to search for a term on one of those not listed pages? Perhaps they are just far back in the search result?
Did you try to submit the url with WMT to have it indexed faster?
Do you have any old urls you can do 301 redirects from to the new not listed pages?
Did you as Kevin suggested submit a sitemap?
-
It is an old site that just has a new design and structure. There are lots of search terms for these pages. I just don't understand why page 6 of search results would be indexed when page 1, 2, 3... are not.

Google f.e. will not crawl every page of your site. In fact, they may become aware of pages that they choose not to crawl because they are not likely to be important enough to return in a search result. Beacuse you have a new site, you need time and backlinks. If your content is unique, and when you get some strong relevant backlinks, more pages will be indexed soon.
-
Did you add a sitemap? If you do have a sitemap with these pages (and if everything is correct) give it some time.
If the pages are dynamically generated, and no links to these pages, the bots will not find them (or at least not very easily).

Description tag not showing in the SERPs because page is blocked by Robots, but the page isn't blocked. Any help?
While checking some SERP results for a few pages of a site this morning I noticed that some pages were returning this message instead of a description tag, A description for this result is not avaliable because of this site's robot.s.txt The odd thing is the page isn't blocked in the Robots.txt. The page is using Yoast SEO Plugin to populate meta data though. Anyone else had this happen and have a fix?

Wordpress Post as Slideshow - One long page vs many short pages?
We are working on implementing a slideshow format for some of the posts on a website, and it appears that using this format breaks a long post into several shorter pages. That's what we want from a user experience standpoint, but are wondering if there are negative SEO implications from having the content broken up in this way, and whether search engines will view it as one longer page or several very short pages? Here is an example: http://www.forthebestrate.com/10-cheap-ideas-for-summer-fun/ Thanks for the help!

Duplicate Page Title
Wordpress Category pagination causes duplicate page title errors (ie. when there are so many posts in the category, it paginates them), is this a problem? Your tool is reporting it as a problem... but ProPhoto (my Wordpress provider say it is not a problem). Here are the 2 URL's with the same page title: http://www.lisagillphotography.co.uk/category/child-photography/ http://www.lisagillphotography.co.uk/category/child-photography/page/2/

Duplicate Page Titles
I have over 200 duplicate page titles on a site that I am working on. Does putting a date at the end of some of them make it a unique enough title?

Page speed tools
Working on reducing page load time, since that is one of the ranking factors that Google uses. I've been using Page Speed FireFox plugin (requires FireBug), which is free. Pretty happy with it but wondering if others have pointers to good tools for this task. Thanks...
