Cache Not Working on Our Site
-
We redesigned our site (www.motivators.com) back in April. Ever since then, we can't view the cache. It loads as a blank, white page but the cache text is at the top saying:
"This is Google's cache of http://www.motivators.com/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Jul 22, 2013 15:50:40 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more. Tip: To quickly find your search term on this page, press Ctrl+F or ⌘-F (Mac) and use the find bar."
Has anyone else ever seen this happen? Any ideas as to why it's happening? Could it be hurting us? Advice, tips, suggestions would be very much appreciated!

You are more than welcome mask it to solve your problem? Because it does not seem to me that the problem is with your cash it seems to me that the problem is with to many calls on the DNS and the site structure do you want to talk to me about this I can tell you I know quite a bit about site speed

Thank you, Bereijk and Thomas, for your responses!

to give you a short answer a content delivery network will help with caching quite a bit.
Implement max CDN your site will not be perfect, but you will not have to worry about a cache problem.
However the problems with your site run much deeper than what you're questioning suggest is the issue.
Honestly you need to clean up the code quite a bit.
However using a CDN even cloud flare a free CDN would help your site dramatically.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Dallas you have an extremely slow loading website
Page size
2.7MB
Load time
9.99s
Requests
195
I honestly rarely see a page that has almost 200 requests this is not a good thing especially considering you're not using a quality DNS company use DynECT or if you think Dyn is a lot to spend uses DNS Made Easy
I have never heard of your hosting company
You are using http://www.webair.com/
so I cannot tell you if it is good or bad I would move to a company that I trust however I know nothing of your hosting company so it could be good I just don't know it check out fire host they will have everything you need including DNS and content delivery networks but the real issue is your front end the code is extremely bad there's a lot of JavaScript getting in the way of everything I would recommend moving to media Temple and using their DV server with cloudflare's railgun it is free media Temple hosting accounts and I strongly advise you do not use their GS server it is garbage
You have a google page speed of 82/100
The page Promotional Products and Promotional ... got an overall PageSpeed Score of 82 (out of 100).Learn more

Because cloudflare's railgun rewrites your code for you this could help you immensely but you really need to hire a web developer and have your site code fixed to have the best possible outcome I can recommend firsthand using
He can fix your site

I would add a content delivery network Max CDN is a inexpensive and very easy to implement CDN along with being one of the few that offer support at such a inexpensive price.
I hope this was of help,

The homepage takes more than 9 seconds to load, I can imagine that the crawler of Google hasn't taken the time create a snapshot of the page... I would try to speed up the website first... much better for user experience and also for rankings.
Check this report: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_RJ_13WT/ and this one: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130722_3R_143F/
Check this site about speed: http://www.strangeloopnetworks.com/web-performance-infographics/.
Not sure if that is the solution, but I would start fixing the speed issue rather than worrying about the Google Cache Pages...

Main Site and eCommerce Site URLs for SEO
My client currently has a main website on a url and an eCommerce site on a subdomain. The eCommerce site is currently not mobile friendly, has images that are too small and are problematic - and I believe it negates some of the SEO work we do for them. I had to turn off Google Shopping ads because the quality score was so low. That being said, they are rebuilding a shopping cart on a new platform that will be mobile friendly BUT the images are going to be tiny until they slowly replace images over several months. Would you keep the shopping cart on a subdomain, or make it part of the main website URL? Can it negatively impact the progress we have made on the main site SEO.

Direct To Site Traffic Decline
Hi Everyone, My company's site went from Http to Https and responsive design last year. After 6 months passed, we noticed a 40% decline from direct visits but revenue saw an increase. Could the 301 redirects from Http to Https cause the drop in direct traffic? Thanks!

Sudden traffic down after mobile site
Hi to all. I have a huge problem about my web site traffic. We published our mobile site version under mobile domain in m.etilercerrental.com. And we published mobile site sitemap under main site such as sitemap-mobile.xml and notify google from webmaster tools. After a while whole site traffic gone down so badly. Almost 60% gone down which doesnt make sense. Mobile sitemap is hosted under desktop site. And we didnt add any link to switch sites between mobile and desktop version. We automaticly redirect between desktop and mobile versiyons by detecting useragent. One another this is we have announcement section in dekstop version but we dont have it in mobile. But we are not making any redirection to mobile site when user visits the announcement section even by mobile phone. Because we are not displaying it in mobile version.

Site Blacklisted
Good morning. Just done my WMT ritual morning check and one of my sites has been blacklisted for malware. It's a wordpress site - I've run various scans, e.g. http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ and also installed wordfence and scanned with that and wordfence produced some offending files which I have now deleted. I've also installed website defender in the hope that it wont happen again. I'm pretty good with staying on top of updates and rarely let a few days pass without upgrading new version of wordpress or plugins etc. I've also checked my users to make sure no new admins or anything and also changes passwords. I've asked for a review from Google and just wondered how long these reviews take? Also, has anybody got any advice, is there anything else I should be doing? Thanks

Will rankings for my micro site rank better if I 301 redirect it to my main site?
This is my first time asking so I will try to be as clear as possible. Ok, I have a micro site that is an (exact match domain) and the domain is a couple 3-4 years old and ranks very well for several search terms. The main two terms it ranks for are like this. houses for rent in XXXXX XXXXX homes for rent (XXXXX equals a city name) The issue is this site has no backlinks, zero advanced SEO, I only did basic optimization to it when i set the site up. Even site structure, url structure all are not good.
Technical SEO | | Robbie8299
The only page I have ever even seen rank is the main root url. But with all that the site does really good in the top 1-2 results for key search terms. Now, I have a main site that is a very big site that has steadily been climbing in search terms every month with great backlinks, optimized for the city and all.
It currently ranks on second page for the listed search terms listed above. What I want to do is 301 redirect this microsite to my city page on my main site that is much better optimized for the key city terms.
The 301 redirect would point this "root domain" (mymicrosite.com) to my city page that looks like this. www.mymaindomain.com/city/XXXXXXX If I do this will Google rank my main URL city page as well as it ranks this microsite with zero links, seo, etc, etc. What happens if it does not? Will I be able to turn off the 301 redirect and keep the microsite rankings? My main reason for wanting this is I want this city page to rank well and I only want to optimize one site instead of both. Any help would be great!0 -
Is it a good idea to make 301 from a site which you know google has banned certain keywords for to a new site with similar content
Here is a short question re. 301. I read Dovers article on how to move an old domain to a new one. Say you have been a little inexperienced regarding linkbuilding and used some cheap service in the past and you have steadily seen that certain keywords have been depreciating in the SERP - however the PR is still 3 for the domain - now the qustion is should you rediect with a 301 in .htaccess to a new domain when you know that google does not like certain keywords with respect to the old site. Will the doom and gloom carry over to the new site?

We're working on a site that is a beer company. Because it is required to have an age verification page, how should we best redirect the bots (useragents) to the actual homepage (thus skipping ahead of the age verification without allowing all browsers)?
This question is about useragents and alcohol sites that have an age verification screen upon landing on the site.
