Non-www home page indexed, but www for rest of site
-
Hi there, grateful for any ideas on why this is happening:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:www.vitispr.com
vs
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:vitispr.com
Google seems to be indexing and caching vitispr.com for our home page but the www. versions for everything else. As you can see the second query finds the home page.
Any ideas why that might be?
Other info that might be relevant:
- non-www etc. are all 301'd to www versions.
- moved domains/urls etc. around in March of this year and for a week or we were redirecting to the non-www version
- webmaster tools says 'www' preferred
Thanks!

Glad to hear it resolved. Sometimes patience is the only action required.

Hi Alan, posting this question clearly had an effect; within a week the google fairies had sorted themselves out and now only the www version is showing in SERPS.
-
will let you know. I'm a bit annoyed since our sitelinks seemed to disappear somewhere along the lines while these shenanigans were going on. hopefully they'll come back when it settles down
-
Glad to help. Curious to learn how it unfolds over time too though.
-
I was hoping that might be the case - needed someone with more experience to cast their eyes over it. Thanks!

Only thing I can figure is it's a lag in their update due to the switch in March. You're doing everything you need to / can / should for this type of situation, and I see you even have the rel=canonical set.

I hope someone can help me with page indexing problem
I have a problem with all video pages on www.tadibrothers.com.
Technical SEO | | TadiBrothers
I can not understand why google do not index all the video pages?
I never blocked them with the robots.txt file, there are no noindex/nofollow tags on the pages. The only video page that I found in search results is the main video category page: https://www.tadibrothers.com/videos and 1 video page out of 150 videos: https://www.tadibrothers.com/video/front-side-rear-view-cameras-for-backup-camera-systems I hope someone can point me to the right way0 -
All of my pages are indexed except for 1\. How could that be?
Yesterday we were ranking #4 for our main keyword and today we're not even indexed. Not robots.txt issue, we've just added a rel canonical to page and submitted our sitemap again. What else could we do?

Homepage de-indexed, rest of site all there...
This is a random issue that I've been trying to get to the bottom of over the last few months. First I thought it might be that I have a spammy host, so I changed it. My site loads a little faster but the homepage is still totally non-visible. Other pages and posts index no problem.. It's really quite frustrating. http://bit.ly/1hA8DqV Any suggestions welcome. Standard WP, running Wordpress SEO by Joost and a few other basic plugins...

Wrong page version in the index
Hi, my site is currently accessible through URL with and without www. The Version with www has 10 times more Backlinks (PA 45 vs 38) but is not listet into the google Index. As far as I know there was never made a google Webmaster account or declared otherwise the version without www to be 'cannonical'. Basically I think that for SEO reasons it would be much better to declare the with www version to be cannonical and redirect the without www version to it. My questions are: Do you have an idea why the with www version is not indexed?

How long does Google usually take to change the version in the index?
Do I risk my site to be thrown out of the index for some days untill the change is made? Thanks in advance.0 -
Are lots of links from an external site to non-existant pages on my site harmful?
Google Webmaster Tools is reporting a heck of a lot of 404s which are due to an external site linking incorrectly to my site. The site itself has scraped content from elsewhere and has created 100's of malformed URLs. Since it unlikely I will have any joy having these linked removed by the creator of the site, I'd like to know how much damage this could be doing, and if so, is there is anything I can do to minimise the impact? Thanks!
