Webmaster Tools: Total Indexed VS Ever Crawled
-
Ok,
In WMT's under health > index status I have both total indexed and ever crawled ticked - It also looks like the data is broken up weekly.
As an example say you have the following:
Total Indexed: 1000
Ever Crawled: 5000
What is this say? It found 5000 pages but only indexed 1000 (20%).
Thanks

Index is the current number of pages in the Google Index, EC is total number of pages crawled (cumulative) over a given period.
Indexed will never be 100% of ever crawled for any site which has had pages removed, moved or url changed - this includes if you tell robots.txt to not index a folder once indexed (these go to ever crawled).
Hope that makes sense

PageSpeed Vs Page Size
Hi, We all know that Google doesnt like slow loading pages, fair enough! However, for one of my websites, user interactivity is key to its success. Now each of my pages are fairly large sized (ranges in the order or 1.8 to 2.5 MB) because it has a lot of pictures, css and at times some Java script elements. However, I have tried to ensure that the code is optimized - for example html minified and compressed, caching enables, images optimized and served through CDN, etc. In spite of high page size, my GTMetrix PageSpeed score is 93+ for most pages. However, the number of requests served is 100+ and page loading time is 4.5s + as per GTMetrix and Pingdom. My question is - should this matter from an SEO perspective. Is google likely to penalize me for high loading time even though I am serving highly optimized pages? I really dont want to cut down on the user interactiveness of my website unless I have to from an SEO perspective. Please suggest. Here is my homepage, just as to give you an idea of what i am talking about: www.dealwithautism.com

Google Webmaster Remove URL Tool
Hi All, To keep this example simple.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Mark_Ch
You have a home page. The home page links to 4 pages (P1, P2, P3, P4). ** Home page**
P1 P2 P3 P4 You now use Google Webmaster removal tool to remove P4 webpage and cache instance. 24 hours later you check and see P4 has completely disappeared. You now remove the link from the home page pointing to P4. My Question
Does Google now see only pages P1, P2 & P3 and therefore allocate link juice at a rate of 33.33% each. Regards Mark0 -

I tried my best to explain that it's not possible and we are doing everything we can't.... now i ask you guys.. I already created de GWT account, Created a well structured Sitemap and submitted it to google and bing, did the onpage optimizitation at least the basics... there is a way to speed up the process? kind of like "hey you! google bot, forget about the noindex nonsense a come crawl again?"
