My website pages are not crawled, what to do?
-
Hi all.
I have made some changes on the website so i like to crawled them by the search engines Google especially.
I have made these changes around 2 weeks ago. I have submitted my website on good bookmarking websites.
Also i used a tool available in Google webmasters "Fetch as Google", Resubmitted a sitemap.xml.
Still my pages are not crawled your opinion please.
Thanks

this is somenting I would love to know more!-)
I think news and updates, maybe a blog in your site can make google "feel" it has to come back more times to refresh your site again ( "hum dude, they are doing something there)... Links to your site and to new articles in social media could help a lot.
If you find anything let us know!-)

Hi Sha,
I just add this meta tag (as below) to help to crawl the page but not sure how it is.
I am just worried that if we make changes in our website pages and submit the site map in webmaster (that's mean that we are put request to search engine crawler to crawl the page ) but why they do not.
what is the actual reason behind this.
also can you please explain me that what the other methods to force the search engine crawler to crawl our page.
Regards
Lucid

HI Martin,
Exactly, all url are indexed in search engines but they are not crawled after making a changes that is the main concern for me now.
For example:
Take a look on Magento Development page that showing last crawled 17 Mar 2013. I have made some changes and that should be crawled on a regular basis same as previous crawling.
Url :http://www.lucidsoftech.com/magento-development.html
your thoughts?
Thanks

HI Sha,

HI Martin,
Before making these changes they crawled regular basis and I just changed a meta title keywords and description but don't know the reason why after making these changes on few pages my web pages are not crawled in past 2 weeks and and still they are not crawled.
Martin i have my robots.txt in public.html and i allow the page that should be crawled by the bots.
waiting fro the page crawling.Thanks

Hi lucidsoftech,
The site is definitely indexed, but without knowing the specific URLs you are waiting on, it is a little difficult.
I ran a quick crawl with Screaming Frog and there are actually quite a few pages on the site which have the noindex meta tag in place - have you checked that the pages you are wanting indexed are not excluded with a tag?
Just a thought,
Sha

make sure you have a robots.txt on public folder. You must allow bots and disallow some folders.
Example of robots.txt of wordpress site
User-agent: *
Allow: /Disallow: /*?
Disallow: /feed/
Disallow: /trackback/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-content/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /xmlrpc.php
Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /tmpAllow: /wp-content/uploads/

How come only 2 pages of my 16 page infographic are being crawled by Moz?
Our Infographic titled "What Is Coaching" was officially launched 5 weeks ago. http://whatiscoaching.erickson.edu/ We set up campaigns in Moz & Google Analytics to track its performance. Moz is reporting No organic traffic and is only crawling 2 of the 16 pages we created. (see first and third attachments) Google Analytics is seeing hundreds of some very strange random pages (see second attachment) Both campaigns are tracking the url above. We have no idea where we've gone wrong. Please help!! 16_pages_seen_in_wordpress.png how_google_analytics_sees_pages.png what_moz_sees.png

Low page impressions
Hey there MOZ Geniuses; While checking my webmaster data I noticed that almost all my Google impressions are generated by the home page, most other content pages are showing virtually no impression data <50 (the home page is showing around 1500 - a couple of the pages are in the 150-200 range). the site has been up for about 8 months now. Traffic on average is about 500 visitors, but I'm seeing very little entry other then the home page. Checking the number Sitemap section 27 of 30 are index Webmaster tools are not reporting errors Webmaster keyword impressions are also extremely low 164 keywords with the highest impression count of 79 and dropping from there. MOZ is show very few minor issues although it says that it crawled 10k pages? -- we only have 30 or so. The answer seems obvious, Google is not showing my content ... the question is why and what steps can I take to analyze this? Could there be a possibility of some type of penalty? I welcome all your suggestions: The site is www.calibersi.com

I have a mobile version and a standard version of my website. I'd like to show users some pages on the non-mobile site but keep googlebot mobile out. Is that ok?
On the mobile version not all the content of the normal site is available to the users. Since we didn't want googlebot mobile to index the non-mobile site, all the non-existent pages were returned with a 404 error. But now we'd like to show the mobile users these pages and send them to the normal site. If we allow the users to see these pages, is it ok to block googlebot mobile so these non-mobile pages are not indexed by googlebot mobile or will that create some issues for google?

Are all duplicate pages bad?
I just got my first Crawl Report for my forum and it said I have almost 9,000 duplicate pages. When I looked at a sample of them though I saw that many of them were "reply" links. By this I mean the "reply" button was clicked for a topic yet since the crawler was not a member, it just brought them to the login/register screen. Since all the topics would bring you to the same login page I'm assuming it counted all these "reply" links as duplicates. Should I just ignore these or is there some way to fix it? Thanks in advance.
