How to get a page re-crawed quickly
-
Does anyone know a way to get Google to re-crawl a webpage that does not belong to me.
There are a bunch of pages that I have had links removed on and I want Google to re-crawl those pages to see the links have been removed. (current wait time is way way too long)
Can anyone suggest some ways to get the page re-crawled. (I am unable to get the website owners to use WMT to do anything).
Suggestions like good ping services and various other techniques would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Anthony, I have heard this recently. My problem is I want to find a solution and repeat it 20,000 times LOL.

Posting links on Google+ has been a really good way to get new pages crawled and indexed. Even if these pages are not new, I think if you could get a few G+ profiles to submit it, it would increase the likelihood that Googlebot would crawl the page.

Hi Gary,
Webmaster Tools would have been the way to do this quickly and easily. What I would recommend is to share the URL on Twitter if you can with a couple of people. They crawl Twitter of course and will crawl your page probably sooner.

Hey Gary,
Back in the day when when I wanted Google to notice links I had built I used to ping them and it seemed to work.
Matt Cutts also touches on pinging services such as PubSubHubbub in this video where he is talking about getting Google to notice pages faster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LsB19wTt0Q#t=77 I used to use https://pingler.com/ and http://pingomatic.com/.
Also in that vid Matt talks about links on places such as Twitter. You could perhaps build links to these pages elsewhere, but weather they would get crawled any faster depends on the site I guess.
You could also submit the URL to Google. I don't know weather it would speed crawling up, worth a go though.

Our client's web property recently switched over to secure pages (https) however there non secure pages (http) are still being indexed in Google. Should we request in GWMT to have the non secure pages deindexed?
Our client recently switched over to https via new SSL. They have also implemented rel canonicals for most of their internal webpages (that point to the https). However many of their non secure webpages are still being indexed by Google. We have access to their GWMT for both the secure and non secure pages.

Should we just let Google figure out what to do with the non secure pages? We would like to setup 301 redirects from the old non secure pages to the new secure pages, but were not sure if this is going to happen. We thought about requesting in GWMT for Google to remove the non secure pages. However we felt this was pretty drastic. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.0 -

Getting Google in index but display "parent" pages..
Greetings esteemed SEO experts - I'm hunting for advice: We operate an accommodation listings website. We monetize by listing position in search results, i.e. you pay more to get higher placing in the page. Because of this, while we want individual detailed listing pages to be indexed to get the value of the content, we don't really want them appearing in Google search results. We ideally want the "content value" to be attributed to the parent page - and google to display this as the link in the search results instead of the individual listing. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Why my own page is not indexed for that keyword?
hi, I recently recreated the page www.zenucchi.it /ITA/poltrona-frau-brescia.html on the third level domain poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it by putting it on the home page. The first page is still indexed for the keyword poltrona frau brescia . But the new page is no indexed for that keyword and i don't know why ( even if the page is indexed in google ) .. I state that the new domain has the same autorithy and that i put a 301 redirect to pass his authority to the new one that has many more incoming links that did not have previous .. i hope you'll help me thanks a lot

Are there any negative effects to using a 301 redirect from a page to another internal page?
For example, from http://www.dog.com/toys to http://www.dog.com/chew-toys. In my situation, the main purpose of the 301 redirect is to replace the page with a new internal page that has a better optimized URL. This will be executed across multiple pages (about 20). None of these pages hold any search rankings but do carry a decent amount of page authority.
