Why is this page not being delivered for Google search result?
-
Hey folks,
Figured I would try to get an experts insight on this.
On google search result for BLACK TITANIUM RINGS + TITANIUM-JEWELRY.COM the page that I "think" should show up is this one:
http://www.titanium-jewelry.com/black-titanium-rings.html
However, it does not. Imho, this page is highly relevant. I used Rank Tracker here on seomoz.org and the page is not even in top 50 of search engine results for google.
Our 'About Black Titanium Rings' page ranks #2 (http://www.titanium-jewelry.com/about-black-titanium.html) but the /black-titanium-rings.html page doesn't even rank.
Any suggestions on what I could look at to figure out why this page is being penalized?
We are not under a manual penalty (anymore!).
Thanks!
Ron

Hi Sha!
Thanks AGAIN! I just followed your instructions and gave google the 'nudge'. Now keep my fingers crossed and see how the page ranks.
I'm new to seomoz, but it's great to be part of a group with experts like you!

Hey James,
Welcome to SEOmoz
It's a wonderful community and quite addictive too!
Here's a post that I made a while back that might help you find your way around ... a couple of extra resources in the comments too.
Look forward to seeing you around in the future.

Hi James,
No worries
To give googlebot a little help, you can use the "Fetch as Googlebot" feature in webmaster tools to introduce the page to the crawler. Once the URL has been fetched, click the "submit to index" button to give it a head start.

Sha,
Thanks so much!! Seems so simple now, but I overlooked this. I switched it to index now and hopefully google will pick it up and start ranking it (high)
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

Hi James,
I see this in the source code of the URL you referenced:
<meta content="noindex, nofollow" name="robots">
That might do it

Internal Search Results Appear in Google SERPS
My friend is running an ecommerce store selling apparels. How can we make internal search results to appear in Google SERPS and rank them? For example: the query is "peplum dress". You type the query into the internal search box and it returns a set of results. In this case, it's product listing. How can we optimize and rank it so it appears in Google SERP? Do we do it the traditional way in terms of links? Say URL is: http://www.asos.com/search/peplum-top?q=peplum+top&r=2 And we build links to it? Some of you may ask why not create a dedicated page for this, the reason being we'd have too many categories if we were to create one for each. Thoughts?

Best way to remove low quality paginated search pages
I have a website that has around 90k pages indexed, but after doing the math I realized that I only have around 20-30k pages that are actually high quality, the rest are paginated pages from search results within my website. Every time someone searches a term on my site, that term would get its own page, which would include all of the relevant posts that are associated with that search term/tag. My site had around 20k different search terms, all being indexed. I have paused new search terms from being indexed, but what I want to know is if the best route would be to 404 all of the useless paginated pages from the search term pages. And if so, how many should I remove at one time? There must be 40-50k paginated pages and I am curious to know what would be the best bet from an SEO standpoint. All feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Indexation of content from internal pages (registration) by Google
Hello, we are having quite a big amount of content on internal pages which can only be accessed as a registered member. What are the different options the get this content indexed by Google? In certain cases we might be able to show a preview to visitors. In other cases this is not possible for legal reasons. Somebody told me that there is an option to send the content of pages directly to google for indexation. Unfortunately he couldn't give me more details. I only know that this possible for URLs (sitemap). Is there really a possibility to do this for the entire content of a page without giving google access to crawl this page? Thanks Ben
