My homepage is not getting indexed by google for some reason
-
My homepage http://www.truebluelifeinsurance.com is not indexed by google. The rest of my site is indexed.
The hompage is indexed by bing. I looked in the webmaster tools and there is no indication why.
I believe the issue started when I did a site re-design in August.
Any ideas?
-
Hi,
May i know How did you solve you website indexing problem?
I am facing the same problem with my website.
Thank you.
-
I can see it indexed. Looks like the problem is resolved.
-
Any update on this? Are you seeing your site indexed by Google yet? What is GWT saying?
-
If it does not resolve itself and by the sounds of it, it should have by now.There is always the option of contacting John Mueller at Google. There will be a Hangout Q&A this Friday where you can ask that exact question. You can post your question to him right now at http://www.google.com/moderator/?#15/e=203709&t=203709.7c&f=203709.6c6f70 and he will get to it live.
Sometimes when there are weird issues, John is a great resource as he has all the inside tech to check a problem.
He has helped me many times before.
-
There shouldn't be any problems with the robots.txt file as far as blocking the homepage in Google, especially since the homepage is indexed in Bing and both crawlers abide by the robots.txt.
-
Could it be this content in my robot.txt file?

I did not change domains with the re-design. The sitemap is a mistake and from another site I own.
-
Interesting. That is a mistake. I have deleted the sitemaps on the site.
-
I have done this already today in the webmaster tools. I should have definitely been indexed by now as it has not been indexed for months.
-
Did you change domains when you did a site redesign? I noticed your sitemap has URLs from a completely different domain name so that may have something to do with it - http://www.truebluelifeinsurance.com/sitemap.xml. I'd make sure to change the sitemap and then set your preferred domain name in Google Webmaster Tools.
-
Have you given it enough time to get crawled? You can also submit it to Google webmaster tools to get crawled.

Little odd I must admit but I'm sure someone around here will get to the bottom of it

Issue getting total links, page & domain authority
Hi guys, I am trying to get total links, page & domain authority using the API. I am requesting the following columns: Cols=6871947673632768328204816384343597383681653687091214 { "fjid": 207343179, "ued": 43324279, "pib": 255645, "ptrr": 0.0056131743357352125, "fmrp": 8.246626591590841, "unid": 954915, "fjf": 4003651, "fjr": 0.00040067116628622016, "ftrp": 8.308303969566644, "ftrr": 0.0012189619975325583, "fejp": 9.265328830369816, "pnid": 45883246, "fjd": 2480265, "ujfq": 1277385, "pjip": 1230240, "fjp": 9.586342983782004, "fuid": 294877628, "uu": "www.google.com/", "pejr": 0.0004768398971363439, "ufq": "www.google.com/", "pejp": 9.647424778525615, "ujp": 300689, "utrp": 7.916901429865898, "ptrp": 9.487254666203722, "utrr": 0.001639219985667878, "fmrr": 0.000731592927123369, "pda": 100, "pjd": 5600882, "ulc": 1342758719, "fnid": 12165784, "fejr": 0.00016052965883996156, "ujb": 107264 } I cannot see the UPA column returned in the JSON object.

Can I get a list of all links on a given domain?
Sorry, this is actually kind of a tripartite question: I was looking at the Competitive Link Analysis on one my clients' campaigns. Sometime between June and September their total links went up by about 120,000. We have no idea where those links came from (although the numbers would indicate that they're mostly internal). Question 1: In none of the other tools can I figure out how to list these links on a domain level. Is there a way to get a list of all links for our given domain? I've been playing around with the page-by-page and even that doesn't show me everything. For example, I'm looking at OSE for their homepage and it lists 45 links for a page that it claims has 151 total. Question 2: How did it pick those 45 to display out of the 151 possible? If these are only external links, why do half of them come from one of our subdomains? Also... Question 3: If our client hasn't made any major changes recently, why has the number of internal links gone up so dramatically? Thanks.

How do I get the SERP overlay tool to work?
I have the SEOMoz toolbar installed. In the settings I have a tick next to Display SERP Overlay. When I first activated this it showed up but with no data just continually searching for a long time. Now it is not showing up at all. This is such a great tool, how can I get it working? Thanks, Daniel.

Where do I find "URLs Receiving Entrances Via Search" and "Non-Paid Keywords Sending Search Visits" in Google Analytics?
These are two metrics highlighted in the "Organic Traffic Data" report in the PRO campaigns. Since this report is composed of data linked from Google Analytics, I bet there's a way to find this same information in GA. So...anyone know how to do that in Google Analytics? I want this information for some long-tail productivity/potential research.
