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,
yes site is indexed and crawled on regular basis before making these changes. don't know why not this time and not crawled around 2 weeks. yes i checked for thart all have including tag.
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/

Duplicate pages on wordpress
I am doing SEO on a site which is running on WP. And it has all pages and categories duplicates on domain.com/site/ However, as it got crawled I saw that all domain.com/ pages have rel=canonical with main page tag (does it mean something?). Thing is I will fix permalinks structure and I think WP automatically redirects if it is changed from /?page_id= to /%category%/%postname%/ or /%postname%/ Isn't there something I miss? Second problems is a forum. After a crawl it found over 5k errors and over 5k warnings. Those are: Duplicate page content; Duplicate page title; Overly-Dynamic URLs; Missing Meta descr; Title Element too long. All those come from domain.com/forum/ (fortunately, there are no domain.com/site/forum duplicates). What could be an easy solution to this?

I know I'm missing pages with my page level 301 re-directs. What can I do?
I am implementing page level re-directs for a large site but I know that I will inevitably miss some pages. Is there an additional safety net root level re-direct that I can use to catch these pages and send them to the homepage?

Duplicate Page Issue
Dear All, I am facing stupid duplicate page issue, My whole site is in dynamic script and all the URLs were in dynamic, So i 've asked my programmer make the URLs user friendly using URL Rewrite, but he converted aspx pages to htm. And the whole mess begun. Now we have 3 different URLs for single page. Such as: http://www.site.com/CityTour.aspx?nodeid=4&type=4&id=47&order=0&pagesize=4&pagenum=4&val=Multi-Day+City+Tours http://www.tsite.com/CityTour.aspx?nodeid=4&type=4&id=47&order=0&pagesize=4&pagenum=4&val=multi-day-city-tours http://www.site.com/city-tour/multi-day-city-tours/page4-0.htm I think my programmer messed up the URL Rewrite in ASP.net(Nginx) or even didn't use it. So how do i overcome this problem? Should i add canonical tag in both dynamic URLs with pointing to pag4-0.htm. Will it help? Thanks!

Do you validate you websites?
Do you consider the guidelines from http://validator.w3.org/ when setting up a new website? As far as I know they don't influence rankings ... What is your opinion about that topix?
