Find where the not selected pages are from
-
Hi all
Can anyone suggest how I can find where gtoogle is finding approx. 1000 pages not to select?
In round numbers I have 110 pages on the site
site: searech shows all pages
index status shows 110 slected and 1000 not selected.
For the life of me I cannot fingure where these pages are coming from. I have set my prefered domain to www., setup 301 's to www. as per below
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^growingyourownveg.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.growingyourownveg.com/$1" [R=301,L]site is
any suggestions much appreciated

Hi Simon,
Yes, Blog pages should exists in sitemap. I think you are using wordpress platform.
Just install "xml sitemap" plugin which automatically get updated whenever you make any post in your blog.

Hi Sanket
Thank you for your reply, the blog should start with "www" so I will look at that. And the blog pages are not in the sitemap as I was told previously I only need to put in the blog home page.
Do I need to add the blog pages to teh sitemap as well?
Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,
May I know from where you get "approx. 1000 pages not to select", from Google GWT ? Your site URLs are opening with "www" version but blog URLs have non-www version.
Example:
Site URL:: http://www.growingyourownveg.com/
Blog URL:http://growingyourownveg.com/blog/
I have also your sitemap and I didn't find blog URLs in it ? Are you using any plugin for it ?

Old Content Pages
Hello we run a large sports website. Since 2009 we have been doing game previews for most games every day for all the major sports..IE NFL, CFB, NBA, MLB etc.. Most of these previews generate traffic for 1-2 days leading up to or day of the event. After that there is minimal if any traffic and over the years almost nothing to the old previews. If you do a search for any of these each time the same matchup happens Google will update its rankings and filter out any old matchups/previews with new ones. So our question is what would you do with all this old content? Is it worth just keeping? Google Indexes a majority of it? Should we prune some of the old articles? The other option we thought of and its not really practical is to create event pages where we reuse a post each time the teams meet but if there was some sort of benefit we could do it.

Indexed pages
Just started a site audit and trying to determine the number of pages on a client site and whether there are more pages being indexed than actually exist. I've used four tools and got four very different answers... Google Search Console: 237 indexed pages Google search using site command: 468 results MOZ site crawl: 1013 unique URLs Screaming Frog: 183 page titles, 187 URIs (note this is a free licence, but should cut off at 500) Can anyone shed any light on why they differ so much? And where lies the truth?

Has Google stopped rendering author snippets on SERP pages if the author's G+ page is not actively updated?
Working with a site that has multiple authors and author microformat enabled. The image is rendering for some authors on SERP page and not for others. Difference seems to be having an updated G+ page and not having a constantly updating G+ page. any thoughts?

I know I'm missing pages with my page level 301 re-directs. What can I do?
I am implementing page level re-directs for a large site but I know that I will inevitably miss some pages. Is there an additional safety net root level re-direct that I can use to catch these pages and send them to the homepage?

According to 1 of my PRO campaigns - I have 250+ pages with Duplicate Content - Could my empty 'tag' pages be to blame?
Like I said, my one of my moz reports is showing 250+ pages with duplicate content. should I just delete the tag pages? Is that worth my time? how do I alert SEOmoz that the changes have been made, so that they show up in my next report?

Different links to to the same page
Hi, Based on the user's actions we post activity into users Facebook timeline. And each activity has link back to our particular page on our website. For example if original page was: www.Domain.com from Facebook timeline it would be like this: www.Domain.com?Ffb_action_ids=101508953168 Do you think this will have a negative effect on our page rankings as we will eded up having a lot of different URL's to the same page? www.Domain.com?Ffb_action_ids=101508953168 www.Domain.com?Ffb_action_ids=456788765609 etc.. Thank you, Karen Bdoyan

If you only want your home page to rank, can you use rel="canonical" on all your other pages?
If you have a lot of pages with 1 or 2 inbound links, what would be the effect of using rel="canonical" to point all those pages to the home page? Would it boost the rankings of the home page? As I understand it, your long-tail keyword traffic would start landing on the home page instead of finding what they were looking for. That would be bad, but might be worth it.
