Google Webmaster says "0" pages indexed
-
Built my first Wordpress site. It launched a few months ago. Google has crawled 76 pages so far. But why are 0 indexed?
-
Just checking what's going on here. The original question was asked by Courtney, but now followup questions are being asked by Eada Yeoh?
Are we still taking about the same original question here? Are Courtney and Eada talkiing about the same issue with the same site? It doesn't appear so to me.
Eada, if you're question is about a different site/issue, you need to ask it in it's own question, rather than mixing it in with Courtney's question.

In case some of you aren't sure of what is happening, I am going to repeat it again.
First my site was de-indexed due to wrong .htaccess, it was then resolved and i asked Google to crawl back my site. On the second day, i was back on the first page for all keywords but everything got de-indexed within ONE hour. How can it possibly disappear within ONE hour? I checked GWT and the site have been crawled. What's happening??

Guys! I checked Google Webmaster Tools and it finally crawled my site but it still isnt appearing anywhere in Google.
When i googled the site name, it appears on the first page but it isnt ranking for any of the keywords anymore. What s happening? How can it suddenly disappear within 1 hour?

This is what I found on my site per your recommendations. @Paul, the box WAS unchecked...and under the Robot settings I found the following all checked:
<label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_cat_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Category Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_tag_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Tag Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_author_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Author Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_date_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Date Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noindex_search_archive]">Apply
noindex
to Search Archives?</label>Then below that, the following boxes are unchecked:
<label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive]">Apply
noarchive
to Entire Site?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_cat_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Category Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_tag_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Tag Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_author_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Author Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_date_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Date Archives?</label><label for="genesis-seo-settings[noarchive_search_archive]">Apply
noarchive
to Search Archives?</label> -
Thanks guys! I will try this and let you know what happens! I really appreciate the advice.

In WordPress, this problem is almost always caused by a setting that is put in place during development, and not removed when the site goes live, Courtney.
Click the Settings button in your WordPress admin sidebar, then click the Reading link. On that page, look for the Discourage search engines from indexing this site box. It must NOT have a check mark in it in order for the search engines to index your website's pages.
Remove the check mark, click Save Changes, then wait a day or two and the search engines should begin indexing your pages as they crawl them.
I've included a screenshot of the page where you need to make the changes.
If that check-marked box isn't your problem, you'll need to post or PM the website address so someone can look at it directly for other possible issues.
Did that do the trick?

would you feel comfortable sending us your URL?
I believe Daniel may be onto something as it sounds like your robots.txt says no index no archive Just a guess.
you can submit your site manually to Google through this
http://www.google.com/submityourcontent/website-owner/
and here is some information on how to get Google to crawl your website faster. However 1st I would test it out
http://yoast.com/how-to-get-google-to-crawl-your-site-faster/
to make sure your site is functioning correctly I would use some of that fantastic free tools from Internet marketing ninjas here
http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/google-sitemap-generator/
I would run your site through the link above and see what you get. I also would check your robot text by simply typing in your domain name the top here and ending update it will show your current robot text settings. You can then make a new robot text file based on allowing things more than disallowing and allowed the search engines in. The 1st link above will tell you if you have no followers and things like that.

I hope I have been of help,

Have you submitted a sitemap and do you have robots.txt uploaded to the root folder of your site?

Strange - Search Console page indexing "../Detected" as 404
Anyone seen this lately? All of a sudden Google Search Console is insisting in Page indexing that there is a 404 for a page that has never existed on our client's site: https://........com.au/Detected We've noticed this across a number of sites, precisely in this way with a capitalised "/Detected" To me it looks like something spammy is being submitted to the SERPs (somehow) and Google is trying to index that and then getting a 404. Naturally MOZ isn't picking it up, cause the page simply never existed - it's just happening in Search Console 2afc7e35-71e4-4e25-80a3-690bf10776a7.png It comes and it goes in the 404 alerts in Console and is really annoying. I reckon it started happening late 2022.

Google My Business app search report
What is the deal with the search reports in the Google My Business app? I downloaded this app so prospective customers could message my business, and when I look at the search reports on the app, the results seem nonsensical. According to google analytics my business receives pretty steady traffic every day. Why does the report say that I receive zero visitors one day and 400 the next? (See the screenshot below) 4yLRCHG

Google Analytics reporting traffic for 404 pages
Hi guys, Unique issue with google analytics reporting for one of our sites. GA is reporting sessions for 404 pages (landing pages, organic traffic) e.g. for this page: http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php the page is currently a 404 page but GA (see screenshot) is reporting organic traffic (to the landing page). Does anyone know any reasons why this is happening? Cheers. http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php GK0zDzj.jpg

Is it possible to import data from an old Google Analytics profile to a new Google Analytics profile?
We have encountered a situation where a client's old SEO firm is refusing to grant us Admin access to our client's existing GA account. For security purposes (so the other SEO firm doesn't delete the existing GA profile) we have started a new Google Analytics profile. Again we do have access to the data in the old account. Is it possible to migrate this old data over (if we just have user access)? Thanks for the help

Google Analytics and DNS change
Our new alumni application is going be tested at domain uva.imodules.com . We are going to collect traffic data with a Google analytics account number UA-884652-XX. So going to uva.imodules.com/myPage.html would send its data to Google Analytics with that account number. Then when it is ready for production we are going to just change the domain name of the application and switch the DNS over to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu . So going to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu /myPage.html would send its data to Google Analtics with that SAME account number. Aside from having the testing domain data in the same profile are there any other issues/problems we may run into?
