Website being crawled but not indexed any thoughts?
-
Hi Everyone,
I created a new website a few weeks ago www.drivingseaford.co.uk , did a little link citation, links from Google+, submitted to webmaster tools etc but its still not getting indexed.Webmaster tools crawl stats page is showing pages being crawled, no errors. But 0 indexed.
http://www.drivingseaford.co.uk/robots.txt is showing
User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-admin/ Disallow: /wp-includes/
Im a bit stumped as never had this before!!! Any ideas from you lovely people??

Your absolutely right Chris, I was in the process of rewriting all the content and going to be getting the blog going. Also now looking at quality links etc. Google places done, so was trying to get some local citations.

Ah ok it was something in the Wordpress theme options for "Choose Google Bot Indexing Type" that wasnt selected. Ive now changed it to
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Good catch! I noticed that as well, but had never seen content="none" and didn't look into it any further. However, Anthony, you are going down the wrong path as far as your content and you're going to have to spruce that up for your sites or you're setting yourself up for panda problems.

Hi Antony,
Saw that you had
<meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">none</a>" />
on your website, and as it's said here http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.fr/2007/03/using-robots-meta-tag.html, that means NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW
So just erase those lines and you should be good !

Including videos on an eCommerce website.
Hi,
Technical SEO | | ChrisHolgate
We're about to start integrating video content on our eCommerece site in order to bolster the quantity and diversity of useful content that each page presents a potential customer. We’re talking product reviews, information relating to the differences between different products and company information. From an SEO perspective it has been suggested that Google will like this however I have a question regarding the actual method of integration. Usually I would just insert some embed code linking to the correct video on our YouTube channel however I’m really conscious that a search engine will just see the embed code, notice the page loads slightly slower and not really gain anything useful from the video file. I’m assuming that this isn’t the case but I have several questions: - Would you host on YouTube and simply insert the embed code in to the page. Would any alternative site (or even self-hosted) be preferable? - Should I be padding out either side of the embed code with a description of the video and an annotation on OUR site? - Does Google actually look at the link and ascertain the relevance of the video file to the actual page? If it does this does it gain anything useful that could help on-page SEO? These are probably all pretty basic questions for which I do apologise but I want to make sure that before spending a sizable amount of time on this that we start off with a correct integration! Many thanks0 -

Website Redirects
Background information: We have a website (devicelock.com) which is currently our corporate website. The company use to operate under (ntutility.com) which is now being redirected to devicelock.com via a DNS Forward - 302 Redirect. The IT admin (a founder of the company) is reluctant to change it to a 301. The current flow is ntutility.com redirects to protect-me.com then redirects again to devicelock.com. When i search up Devicelock on google, it shows up as ntutlity.com. There is no devicelock.com homepage on google search. Question: Are there any negative implications about this? Is this hurting our SEO in any way? When i do link building, will this have any negative affects? Will my links for devicelock be attributed to devicelock.com?
