No index?
-
Hi,
I have about 600 posts and most of them are not really optimized (some of them are flash photo gallery).
Should I do no index them?
They are just too many to optimize them.
My website is http://www.soobumimphotography.com/
Thank you

Hi,
in my opinion you should 'no index' sites with high bounce rate compare to short time of visit (less than 10 sek). It's true or real bounce rate - visitor spent less than 10 sek on the one site and then left website.
Also good idea is no index or even delete posts with 'heavy' content with long time of page load ... as I think flash galleries could be heavy. Page loading time (long) could also increase bounce rate.
So you have a choice to have 600 posts or ... maybe 100 good posts ... good content vs average or poor content.
Answer is simple

Unless they are creating duplicate content issues or other problems, I personally would not noindex them.
Side note: Did you know your Image Search at the bottom of each page takes you off-site to this location "http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/thadallender/search"? I'd fix the action of that form or remove the widget until it's fixed if I were you. Right now it is not searching your site and is sending people off your site.

Random important product pages dropped out of index week ending Dec 22: why???
Hello We've been around a very long time, and I have a long running pet set of core terms and pages tracked using Moz and other tools. With no changes to the content or site or htaaccess or robots.txt or sitemap, insignificant backlink changes etc, we saw a ton of important product pages drop out of the index the week ending December 22 2019. We are still ranking for many of the terms associated, but at far worse positions since the pages G is choosing instead for those terms are not as focused. I need to be clear that this has not happened across the board, but seemingly at random. When I look in G Search Console, the pages are submitted and indexed (last crawl yesterday), mobile friendly, have breadcrumbs, and the only warning are product level for lack of optional fields under offers (nothing new, not particular to the dropped pages in question here). So, what happened the week ending December 22???? Should I expect the dust to settle and the pages to return? Extremely strange. Thx

Google index text that I can not find
Hello everybody, As you can see here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:G-iicHoDJeYJ:www.billigste-internet.dk/&hl=da&gl=dk&strip=1 Google index the text "Forside" as the H1 tag, and "Right" and "Left" as body text, on my website. But I do not want that Google indexes this. But when I look in mine source code (see here: view-source:http://www.billigste-internet.dk/) I can not find "Forside", "rigth" or "Left", so I can delete it. Is there anyone who can help me where I need to delete the text "Forside", "Right" and "Left", so Google does not index this text? Hope someone can help.

Is that a problem for indexing?
Hi all, I have an issue driving me crazy thant I think it could be impacting in the SERPs. My site has a spanish version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp" and an english version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/en". These two "pages" in the CMS ("inicio" and "home") have the same title and the same description tag (in spanish) as the plugin ALL in one SEO only allows me to write one unique title and description for the home page via GENERAL OPTIONS (there's an option for "home title" and for "home description").. If a try to assign a title and a description individually for each page it doesn't work (I can't see the titles and description in the source code" of those pages. On the other hand, there's another page that is http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/?attachment_id= which I can't locate in the CMS within pages section. This page has the same tittle and description as well. Could anyone give me a solution? Thanks.

Google Index/Cashe questions
I have 15k+ pages. I have 4.5k pages indexed. What relation is the google cashe to indexing pages? My site gets cashed every two days. The competition in my SERP goes 2-3weeks to get cashed. What does this indicate? Is your cashe date your last google crawl? How can I get google to crawl my site? Is there a way I can get google to crawl my site starting from an internal page. This way I could set up a better linking structure that would benefit from doing activities that get that page indexed to help get my site indexed more thoroughly...

My Images Aren't Indexed By Goolge
My site is indexed by google, and there hasn't really been much of a problem with my content, but now I am noticing that none of our images are coming up in the images searches of google. I mean none. I have even typed in the alt text of the image verbatim and nothing shows up. I use wordpress if this helps anyone. Any advice would be awesome, Thanks a lot.

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...
