New pages on my web site
-
I have created web sites that appear somewhere on Google in hardly any time at all,
but I appear to have forgotten something or things are different for pages added recently to an existing website.
I have added a page on a particular subject, optimized it using on page grader, so that I get an A, and a check mark for everything except H1 tags and rel=canonical which my web hosting provider does not support. I do have a check mark for accessible to search engines
The page has the format http://www.domain.com/specific-keyword
It is in the menu, so should have internal links to it, as I understand it.
I have created a new site map, and submitted it in webmaster tools.
Interestingly it says that of the 96 pages only 76 were indexed
is this a clue? and why would they not index a page
I have then shared the page on google plus, facebook, tumblr, pinterest and twitter and some others
In OSE it comes up as domain authority 28 page authority 1, the social media shares do show up in metrics on the right but no links internal or external are shown, they do on other pages I created in the same way.
Is it just a case of waiting or is their something I do to help
thank you

As Ryan mentioned, OSE is updated on a schedule. Our next update is scheduled for March 11th. We try to update it -- barring any technical difficulties -- at least once a month.
-
That has definitely fixed the problem the page is on the second page of google
and I can carry on building it up
Thanks very much
-
Ok my site is back up and the new robots,txt file has been uploaded and submitted to google,
I have tested that the site map is allowing robots.
and it is, but no change yet to the OSE and search results.
I will wait to see if these are any changes
Thanks again
-
hmm I found a robots.txt editor in Google webmaster tools
downloaded the new file and uploaded it to my file manager
then discovered that my whole site had crashed page not found
dunno if I caused it, or the host was already having probems
gotta wait and see now, Their live chat help is also not working and I have sent an email so it does look like it's their problem
How can the robots.txt file have changed if I did not do it
-
You'll want to contact your hosting company or look at their FAQ on how to edit robots.txt. Cheers!
-
actually there is no file of that name in my file manager
-
hmm delete the line?, would it work if I deleted the file upload a blank text file named robots.txt
-
That certainly could be causing problems. It'd be best to delete that line.
-
thanks for the quick response I looked in robots.txt and found this:
User-agent: * Disallow: Sitemap: http://www.realsingingtelegrams.com/sitemap.xml is that causing the problem?
-
GWT very infrequently shows a 100% of pages submitted via sitemap matching pages indexed, but there could be a few very reasonable reasons for this. For example, you could be disallowing a portion of pages in your robots.txt file that are listed in your sitemap.
As for OSE explorer, you're most likely looking at link data from prior to the last update. In that case, any linking and work done won't be recorded by OSE until the next update is made live. Here's the latest on their scheduling: http://moz.com/products/api. Short answer: keep doing what you're doing, and wait a bit on the reporting numbers to update. Cheers!

Why is my site not ranking?
I have done various link building strategies, and used all white hat seo methods. SEOMoz even shows that my site is better than all my competition, but yet it doesn't rank ANYWHERE on Google. Can someone point me in the right direction as to why this is happening? I have attached the opensitexplorer screenshot showing my competition. 2013-02-13_1456_zpsb86ab0e1.png

Does the page authority data also considers the on page factors like the presence of keyword in the title,meta text, and keyword frequency ??

Open site explorer result discrepancy
Hi all, I'm a little confused - when using open sites explorer to view of link stats on one of our competitors site I get conflicting results. For example - Page Specific Metircs shows the url www.xyz.com has 265 external links. But Root Domain Metrics show they have 22,687 links Yet the total links at the top of the report says Total links 999 Can someone explain why www.xyz.com has 265 external links and the rot domain (which is the same) has 22687 links? I've also run the report on xyz.com rather than www.xyz.com which yielded no results. Thanks in advance

Issue in number of pages crawled
i wanted to figure out how our friend Roger Bot works. On the first crawl of one of my large sites, the number of pages crawled stopped at 10000 (due to the restriction on the pro account). However after a few weeks, the number of pages crawled went down to about 5500. This number seemed to be a more accurate count of the pages on our site. Today, it seems that Roger Bot has completed another crawl and the number is up to 10000 again. I know there has been no downtime on our site, and the items that we fixed on our site did not reduce or increase the number of pages we had. Just making sure there are no known issues with Roger Bot before I look deeper into our site to see if there is an issue. Thanks!

Fixing the Too Many On-Page Links
In our campaign I see that it reported that some of our pages have too many on-page links. But I think most of the links that was seen by MozBot is related to our images. There are a lot of images in our site and at the same time we support 11 languages which adds additional links One of the pages that have a lot of links is www.florahospitality.com/dining.aspx What can you <a></a>suggest to fix this? Thanks. <a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a>

How fast can page authority be grown
I understand that it is easier to rank for a particular keyword given a higher DA score. How fast can page authority be established and grown for a given keyword if DA is equal to 10/20/30/50? What are the relative measures that dictate the establishment and growth of this authority? Can it be enumerated to a percentage of domain links? or a percentage of domain links given an assumed C-Block ratio? For example you have a website with DA of 40, and you want to target a new keyword, the average PA of the top ranked pages is 30, the average domain links are 1,000, and the average number of linking domains is 250 - if you aim to build 1,000 links per month from 500 linking domains, how fast can you approximate the establishment of page authority for the keyword?
