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

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,

Normally when u submitted your pages on few good social bookmarking, workout in webmasters, after generate few good back links all these thing are very helpful for page crawling.
Still waiting for the page crawling.Thanks 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/

Can Google Crawl This Page?
I'm going to have to post the page in question which i'd rather not do but I have permission from the client to do so. Question: A recruitment client of mine had their website build on a proprietary platform by a so-called recruitment specialist agency. Unfortunately the site is not performing well in the organic listings. I believe the culprit is this page and others like it: http://www.prospect-health.com/Jobs/?st=0&o3=973&s=1&o4=1215&sortdir=desc&displayinstance=Advanced Search_Site1&pagesize=50000&page=1&o1=255&sortby=CreationDate&o2=260&ij=0 Basically as soon as you deviate from the top level pages you land on pages that have database-query URLs like this one. My take on it is that Google cannot crawl these pages and is therefore having trouble picking up all of the job listings. I have taken some measures to combat this and obviously we have an xml sitemap in place but it seems the pages that Google finds via the XML feed are not performing because there is no obvious flow of 'link juice' to them. There are a number of latest jobs listed on top level pages like this one: http://www.prospect-health.com/optometry-jobs and when they are picked up they perform Ok in the SERPs, which is the biggest clue to the problem outlined above. The agency in question have an SEO department who dispute the problem and their proposed solution is to create more content and build more links (genius!). Just looking for some clarification from you guys if you don't mind?

Increase in pages crawled per day
What does it mean when GWT abruptly jump from 15k to 30k pages crawled per day? I am used to see spikes, like 10k average and a couple of time per month 50k pages crawled. But in this case 10 days ago moved from 15k to 30k per day and it's staying there. I know it's a good sign, the crawler is crawling more pages per day, so it's picking up changes more often, but I have no idea of why is doing it, what good signals usually drive google crawler to choose to increase the number of pages crawled per day? Anyone knows?

Website Pop up
I want to install a pop up on my site for collecting email addresses. I use nopcommerce as my platform. I was quoted a price to custom develop it but thought there might just be a simple plugin. I can find them for wordpress but that is all. Does anybody have experience with this?

Page that appears on SERPs is not the page that has been optimized for users
This may seem like a pretty newbie question, but I haven't been able to find any answers to it (I may not be looking correctly). My site used to rank decently for the KW "Gold name necklace" with this page in the search results:http://www.mynamenecklace.co.uk/Products.aspx?p=302This was the page that I was working on optimizing for user experience (load time, image quality, ease of use, etc.) since this page was were users were getting to via search. A couple months ago the Google SERP's started showing this page for the same query (also ranked a little lower, but not important for this specific question):http://www.mynamenecklace.co.uk/Products.aspx?p=314Which is a white gold version of the necklaces. This is not what most users have in mind (when searching for gold name necklace) so it's much less effective and engaging.How do I tell Google to go back to old page/ give preference to older page / tell them that we have a better version of the page / etc. without having to noindex any of the content? Both of these pages have value and are for different queries, so I can't canonical them to a single page. As far as external links go, more links are pointing to the Yellow gold version and not the white gold one.Any ideas on how to remedy this?Thanks.

How many pages should my site have?
Right now I think I only have 36. What is a good amount of pages to have? Any ideas on ways to add relevant pages to my site? I was thinking about starting a message board. Also, I have a free tech support chat room, and was thinking about posting the logs somewhere on the site. Does that sound like a good idea? Thanks.

Too Many On Page LInk
The analysis of my site is showing that I have a problem with too many on-page links. Most of this is due to our menu, and wanting users to be able to quickly get to the shopping category they are looking for. We end up with over 200 links in order to get the menu we want. How are other people dealing with a robust menu, but avoiding getting dinged for too many links? One of our pages in question is: http://www.milosport.com/category/2176-snowboards.aspx
