Google not crawling the website from 22nd October
-
Hi, This is Suresh. I made changes to my website and I see that google is unable to crawl my website from 22nd October. Even it is not showing any content when I use Cache:www.vonexpy.com. Can any body help me in knowing why Google is unable to crawl my website. Is there any technical issue with the website? Website is www.vonexpy.com
Thanks in advance.

Looks like its not just us - this is starting to get more attention https://www.seroundtable.com/google-cache-dated-19497.html

Our home page was cached today, but many of the pages on our site haven't been indexed since late October. It looks like this is a widespread issue.
-
I can see 90% of the pages I look at havent been cached since 22nd Oct, and I mean pages picked at random from hotels.com, booking.com and other big sites - is there a wider google cache issue going on?
-
I understand but we are not talking about black hat seo, just to crawl a site that hasn´t be crawled since october. And we all already know that sometimes Google says half-truths. I was suggesting to do something knew to get different results that he already had. Anyway i appreciate your point of view.
-
Google the queries: black hat seo, link buying. Click the first 100 results for both + read the guide on SEO by Google and then you probably get the point ;-).

Why not Martijn? That tool has helped me several times not in the same case but for backlinks.

You are not being serious?

Thanks Martin,
I made some design changes to my website. When you check the cache you an see that the website content is not crawled as the website contains some java script links. I replaced them with text links. So now it should crawl and index the website even though there is no new content. As the old spider is unable to crawl the website because of the image based links. And also I submitted the sitemap to webmaster tools only after the design change. It just indexed all the 30 urls 2 days back.@ Hemani I already submitted to webmaster tools and used fetch as google on the site but still there is no crawling.

Hi Suresh,
It looks like there are no problems on the site itself that prevent Google from crawling it, so that's a good thing. As the sitemap only consists of 31 (different) URLs, chances are that Google found out that the pages aren't any different any time that they crawled the pages. If that is really the case then I wouldn't mind so much about Google not crawling the content every now and then.

This is a normal problem and I have accord this quite a few times on my blog. The best way to do that is to submit your sitemap in Google Webmaster tool and get social tweets and social likes on your website and you will see Google will start crawling your website in days!
Hope this helps!

Has Google Stopped Listing URLs with Crawl Errors in Webmaster Tools?
I went to Google Webmaster Tools this morning and found that one of my clients had 11 crawl errors. However, Webmaster Tools is not showing which URLs are having experiencing the errors, which it used to do. (I checked several other clients that I manage and they list crawl errors without showing the specific URLs. Does anyone know how I can find out which URLs are experiencing problems? (I checked with Bing Webmaster Tools and the number of errors are different).

How does Google Crawl Multi-Regional Sites?
I've been reading up on this on Webmaster Tools but just wanted to see if anyone could explain it a bit better. I have a website which is going live soon which is going to be set up to redirect to a localised URL based on the IP address i.e. NZ IP ranges will go to .co.nz, Aus IP addresses would go to .com.au and then USA or other non-specified IP addresses will go to the .com address. There is a single CMS installation for the website. Does this impact the way in which Google is able to search the site? Will all domains be crawled or just one? Any help would be great - thanks!

Google previews meanings
I have noticed that when I do a site:mysite.com search and all my indexed pages come up, that when I hover over the arrows and bring up the previews some of the pages have things in a red rectangle and some of the pages even have zig zag-like tears/perforations running through them. What do these signify?

Google Webmaster tools vs SeoMOZ Crawl Diagnostics
Hi Guys I was just looking over my weekly report and crawl diagnostics. What I've noticed is that the data gathered on SeoMoz is different from Google Webmaster diagnostics. The number of errors, in particular duplicate page titles, content and pages not found is much higher that what google webmaster tools is represents. I'm a bit confused and don't know which data is more accurate. Please Help

Why is my website banned?
IMy website is Costume Machine at www.costumemachine.com . My site has been banned for 1 year now. I have requested that google reconsider my site 3 times without luck. The site is dynamic and basically pulls in feeds from affiliate sites. We have added over 1,500 pages of original content. The site has been running great since 2008 without any penalties. I don't think I got hit with any linking penalty. I cleaned up all questionable links last November when the penalty hit. Am I being hit with a "thin" site penalty? If that is the issue what is the best way to fix the problem?

Has google panelized us ? If so, why ? How do I know if our website is panelized ?
We were ranked on first page among top 5 position a year ago for most of our pages. On one fine day, google decided to drop us from the results although google keeps indexing our pages. Google index our pages regularly but doesn't show them in its results. All google traffic we receive is for our own site name and its variations. I wanted to know - how do we know if google has panelized us. Why has google panelized us ? If they have panelized us, what can we do to get out of it ? Also I wanted to know if any tool will help me identify such thing. We have not done any link building. Our site page rank is 4 (it was 5 few months ago). All we did was on page optimization. Thanks for your help!
