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).

For an e-commerce product category page that has several funnels to specific products, for SEO purposes does it matter whether the category page's overview content is above or below those funnels?
We manage an e-commerce site. On a category page, there are several funnels to specific products. We moved the category overview content below those funnels to make it easier for users to quickly get to products. Seems more user friendly to me, but could that move of the main content to the lower part of the page be a negative ranking factor?

Hiding elements of the page
Hi, Does hiding elements of the page have a negative effect on SEO? The reason I ask is I am using a Wordpress theme however in options if I disable a certain element of the theme that is printed on the page it simply hides it from the user using CSS but it still exists in the code. Could the search engine see this as bad? E.g. like you are trying to keyword stuff by hiding keywords in the page? Thanks.

Category listing page coming above product pages
A new SEO client we have taken on seem to be hitting most of the points right on with their site and SEO. However one thing that is bugging me is that their category pages i.e. "Footwear" which title tag includes the brands they stock. Is almost always coming up above (if they are ever even found) the product individual pages. Anyone seen this sort of things happening? Very frustrating.

Google indexing page differently
Does google index an interal page differently depending on whether you are using a FULL url (including domain) or just a relative link? Also, is it possible that using a full URL (http://mysite.com/page.html) causes the browser to "ping" the server differently than just having the href linked to using relative links (/page.html) Could this cause server or firewall perfomance issues?

To Many Links On Page
I'm having a problem on a crawl warning for our main site. The warning is that every one of my pages has to many links, a little over 1,000 on almost all of them. I think this is because our category list on our left hand sidebar has so many categories, and that sidebar appears on every last one of our pages even all the way into our products. Can anyone take a look and tell me if this is the reason why and what I could possibly do about this? Thanks in advance! www.Ocelco.com

Main page deindexed by google.
3 days ago our main page('/') has stopped appear in google results. Rest of pages works fine. Even our main page from canadian version of site with similar content works fine. Some times canadian page appears for key word where we had our com version before. But I think this is just result of disappearing com version. Any suggestion were to look? Messages box in google webmastertools is empty. Could this be the question too long page title? PS: Does any way exist to check if we were punished by Google and reason of this? For Bing and Yahoo everything works fine. PPS: We have just found that "cache:our_site.com" and "info:our_site.com" returns in google our_site.ca. So this should be reason of problem. So now we are looking how to fix this.
