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 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/

Customer Reviews on Product Page / Pagination / Crawl 3 review pages only
Hi experts, I present customer feedback, reviews basically, on my website for the products that are sold. And with this comes the ability to read reviews and obviously with pagination to display the available reviews. Now I want users to be able to flick through and read the reviews to help them satisfy whatever curiosity they have. My only thinking is that the page that contains the reviews, with each click of the pagination will present roughly the same content. The only thing that changes is the title tags which will contain the number in the H1 to display the page number. I'm thinking this could be duplication but i have yet to be notified by Google in my Search console... Should i block crawlers from crawling beyond page 3 of reviews? Thanks

Why does my site have so many crawl errors relating to the wordpress login / captcha page
Going through the crawl of my site, there were around 100 medium priority issues, such as title element too short, and duplicate page title, and around 80 high priority issues relating to duplicate page content - However every page listed with these issues was the site's wordpress login / captcha page. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Rel canonical for partner sites - product pages only or also homepage and other key pages?
Hello there Our main site is www.arenaflowers.com. We also run a number of partner sites (eg: http://flowershop.cancerresearchuk.org/). We've relcanonical'd the products on the partner site back to the main (arenaflowers.com) site. eg: http://flowershop.cancerresearchuk.org/flowers/tutti_frutti_es_2013 rel canonicals back to: http://www.arenaflowers.com/flowers/tutti_frutti_es_2013). My question: Should we also relcanonical the homepage and other key pages on partner sites back to the main arenaflowers website too? The content is similar but not identical. We don't want our partner sites to be outranking the original (as is the case on kw flower delivery for example). (NB this situation may be complicated by the fact we appear to have an unnatural link penalty on af.com (and when we did an upgrade a while back, the af.com site fell out of the index altogether due to some issues with our move to AWS.) We're getting professional SEO advice on this but wondered what the Moz community's thoughts were.. Cheers, Will

How do I keep Google from crawling my PPC landing page?
Question, I don't want Google to catch my PPC landing pages, but I'm wondering if I make the page no-follow, no-index will it still crawl my landing page for quality score? Just to clarify I do want it to crawl the landing page to boost my quality score on PPC, but I do not want it to index it for SEO. Thanks 🙂

http://www.1oxygen.com/portableconcentrators/portableconcentrators/1oxygen/portableconcentrators/portableconcentrators/portableconcentrators/oxusportableconcentrator.htm These are actaully pages somehow. In my FTP there in the first /portableconentrators/ folder there is about 12 html documents and no other folders. It looks like it is creating a page for every possible folder combination. I have no idea why you those pages above actually work, help please???0 -
If you only want your home page to rank, can you use rel="canonical" on all your other pages?
If you have a lot of pages with 1 or 2 inbound links, what would be the effect of using rel="canonical" to point all those pages to the home page? Would it boost the rankings of the home page? As I understand it, your long-tail keyword traffic would start landing on the home page instead of finding what they were looking for. That would be bad, but might be worth it.
