Sitemap indexation
-
3 days ago I sent in a new sitemap for a new platform. Its 23.412 pages but until now its only 4 pages (!!) that are indexed according to the Webmaster Tools. Why so few? Our stage-enviroment got indexed (more than 50K pages) in a few days by a mistake.

Thanks! I'll see if this changes anything.

Its not that complicated, it is really easy...
In Google Webmaster tools go to the Crawl/Fetch as Google. The top level will be displayed at the top of the page. Press the Fetch Button to the right.
Goolge will fetch the page and this will be displayed underneath on the same page. To the right of this line, you will see a button to submit to index. When you press this a pop up box will appear and you can select to either submit just this page or this page and all links from it. Select the all links from it. (you can only do this full crawl/submit option 10 times in a calendar month, to submit just single pages you can do this 500 times a month) and then press Submit.
Google will then submit all the pages to its index.
Hope that helps.

In regard of the error, Google crawled our https://stage.musik.dk instead of just https://musik.dk. We now have authorization on the subdomain, which gives errors in our account. I made another post about this and it seems it shouldn't harm our ranking.
Webmaster Tools is an extremely messy tool when working with various subdomains + no-http

Yeah. I've tested it several times, but with no errors. today its up on 35 indexed pages, but a loong way to go...

What do you mean by manual submit the site? Its more than 23.000 links, so a manual process is kinda of a no go

Hi,
Are you sure you submitted the right site map format / files? We've had in in the past that are sitemap was broken up into multiple files and we had to send sitemap-index.xml, sitemap-1.xml ... sitemap-16.xml. Have you checked it again and again?
regards
Jarno

No Sure what the problem was with the "by mistake"
Go to Google Webmaster tools and "manually" submit the site for the home page and all links. This will at least get the ball rolling whilst you investigate the other possible problems once you revist the sitemap etc just to check that it is complete and has not missed off a bunch of pages

Google is indexing bad URLS
Hi All, The site I am working on is built on Wordpress. The plugin Revolution Slider was downloaded. While no longer utilized, it still remained on the site for some time. This plugin began creating hundreds of URLs containing nothing but code on the page. I noticed these URLs were being indexed by Google. The URLs follow the structure: www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/revslider/templates/this-part-changes/ I have done the following to prevent these URLs from being created & indexed: 1. Added a directive in my Htaccess to 404 all of these URLs 2. Blocked /wp-content/uploads/revslider/ in my robots.txt 3. Manually de-inedex each URL using the GSC tool 4. Deleted the plugin However, new URLs still appear in Google's index, despite being blocked by robots.txt and resolving to a 404. Can anyone suggest any next steps? I Thanks!

Help! Pages not being indexed
Hi Mozzers, I need your help.
Technical SEO | | bshanahan
Our website (www.barnettcapitaladvisors.com) stopped being indexed in search engines following a round of major changes to URLs and content. There were a number of dead links for a few days before 301 redirects were properly put in place. And now, only 3 pages show up in bing when I do the search "site:barnettcapitaladvisors.com". A bunch of pages show up in Google for that search, but they're not any of the pages we want to show up. Our home page and most important services pages are nowhere in search results. What's going on here?
Our sitemap is at http://www.barnettcapitaladvisors.com/sites/default/files/users/AndrewCarrillo/sitemap/sitemap.xml
Robots.txt is at: http://www.barnettcapitaladvisors.com/robots.txt Thanks!0 -
Sitemap all of a sudden only indexing 2 out of 5000+ pages
Any ideas why this happened? Our sitemap looks the same. Also, our total number of pages indexed has not decreased, just the sitemap. Could this eventually affect my pages being in the index?

Index inactive mobile site?
Hi, I have a question wrt Mobile version of a site. Previously, we had a mobile site which is no longer active and there are possibilities of resurrecting it in future, so we have a 302 redirect which points to the homepage (desktop version). Currently, the mobile site is indexed by the search engines. To avoid the duplicate content issue, is it recommended to use robots.txt and block the spiders from mobile content or apply 301 redirect until the mobile site is up and running, OR continue with the 302 redirect. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks,

How can I best find out which URLs from large sitemaps aren't indexed?
I have about a dozen sitemaps with a total of just over 300,000 urls in them. These have been carefully created to only select the content that I feel is above a certain threshold. However, Google says they have only indexed 230,000 of these urls. Now I'm wondering, how can I best go about working out which URLs they haven't indexed? No errors are showing in WMT related to these pages. I can obviously manually start hitting it, but surely there's a better way?

Ror.xml vs sitemap.xml
Hey Mozzers, So I've been reading somethings lately and some are saying that the top search engines do not use ror.xml sitemap but focus just on the sitemap.xml. Is that true? Do you use ror? if so, for what purpose, products, "special articles", other uses? Can sitemap be sufficient for all of those? Thank you, Vadim
