Google not indexing my website
-
Hi guys,
We have this website http://www.m-health-expo.nl/ but it is not indexed by google. In webmaster tools google says that it can not fetch the site due to the robots.txt but i do not see any faults in it. http://www.m-health-expo.nl/robots.txt
Do you see something strange, it really bothers me.
-
Thanks Wissem and Mike,
GWT gives now a good response, so it works!
Cheerz,

If the site has only been live for a few weeks-- they may have an old robots.txt file indexed.
So... What Wissam said.
-
its meaningless to have robots.txt under a folder .. the appropriate location is in the root ... but still it have nothing to do with your current issue... give it a day
in the meantime go to Crawl > Blocked URLs
and see what is robots.txt content is saying and when was the last time they update the robots.txt content
-
Okey thanks, the site is live for a few weeks now. Maybe it has to do with the fact that http://www.m-health-expo.nl/ has a robots txt and http://www.m-health-expo.nl/en/ has a robots.txt.
What is really strange is that it is just a default robots.txt.
But thanks and i will try it.
Cheers Ruud

Can you please open this URL?
https://www.google.com.pk/search?q=site%3Awww.m-health-expo.nl%2Fen&oq=site%3Awww.m-health-expo.nl%2Fen&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.990j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 kindly remove the robots.txt file for now.Do you see any error in webmaster.Blocking important URL of site something like it.
Solution already recommended by wissam.Follow it if the results are not positive.Its not fetching files right.Remove robots.txt file and remove the SEO plugin you are using for now.give it a day and update us about results.Google takes time to reconsider URL blocked by robots.txt or removed by GW.

Thanks but GWT tells me that the robots.txt is blocking it from indexing.
-
Use fetch as GoogleBot in GWT.
Provide 2 fetchs one for the robots.txt and one for the root and both fetches submit them to index

Google index graph duration in Google Webmaster Tools
Hello guys, I wonder, my sites are currently being indexed every 7 days, exactly. At Index Status page in GWT. However, this new site gets updated almost everyday, how can I ask google to index faster and more frequently/almost daily? Is it about SItemap.xml frequency ? I changed it today to Daily. Thanks!

Google Indexing
Hi Everybody, I am having kind of an issue when it comes to the results Google is showing on my site. I have a multilingual site, which is main language is Catalan. But of course if I am looking results in Spanish (google.es) or in English (google.com) I want Google to show the results with the proper URL, title and descriptions. My brand is "Vallnord" so if you type this in Google you will be displayed the result in Catalan (Which is not optimized at all yet) but if you search "vallnord.com/es" only then you will be displayed the result in Spanish What do I have to do in order for Google to read this the way I want? Regards, Guido.

Struggling to get my lyrics website fully indexed
Hey guys, been a longtime SEOmoz user, only just getting heavily into SEO now and this is my first query, apologies if it's simple to answer but I have been doing my research! My website is http://www.lyricstatus.com - basically it's a lyrics website. Rightly or wrongly, I'm using Google Custom Search Engine on my website for search, as well as jQuery auto-suggest - please ignore the latter for now. My problem is that when I launched the site I had a complex AJAX Browse page, so Google couldn't see static links to all my pages, thus it only indexed certain pages that did have static links. This led to my searches on my site using the Google CSE being useless as very few pages were indexed. I've since dropped the complex AJAX links and replaced it with easy static links. However, this was a few weeks ago now and still Google won't fully index my site. Try doing a search for "Justin Timberlake" (don't use the auto-suggest, just click the "Search" button) and it's clear that the site still hasn't been fully indexed! I'm really not too sure what else to do, other than wait and hope, which doesn't seem like a very proactive thing to do! My only other suspicion is that Google sees my site as more duplicate content, but surely it must be ok with indexing multiple lyrics sites since there are plenty of different ones ranking in Google. Any help or advice greatly appreciated guys!

Google Shopping Australia/Google Merchant Centre
So Google Shopping has finally landed in Australia so we've got some work todo hooking it up to our client ecom sites. Right now we have a handful of clients who are setup, the feed is getting in their ok but all products are sitting in "disapproved" status in the dashboard and clicking into each individual product the status says awaiting review. I logged a support ticket with Google to get some more info on this as it doesn't look right to me (ie the disapproved status in dashboard) and got a useless templated answer. Seems that if I switch the country destination to US the products are approved and live in google.com shopping search within the hour. Switch back to Australia and they go back to disapproved status. Anyone having the same issue/seen this before? I simply don't trust Google support and wondering if there's other factors at play here.
