Is there a way to index important pages manually or to make sure a certain page will get indexed in a short period of time??

Hi There!
The problem I'm having is that certain pages are waiting already three months to be indexed. They even have several backlinks. Is it normal to have to wait more than three months before these pages get an indexation? Is there anything i can do to make sure these page will get an indexation soon?
Greetings

Hi Jimmy,
It seems that the page is not indexed yet. I fetched the page again and this time it said succesful. Now the URL is tagged to index, so i will notice tomorrow if the page is getting indexed. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Bob,
Is the page currently partially indexed or not at all now?
What is the exact message Google says about the livechat?
If the on-page code is causing problems then the good advice from Ben won't help until it is resolved.Kind Regards

Hi there
I answered a question a few minutes ago with the same layout, so don't be offended if you run across these suggestions again!
Here are some suggestions to help the process:
- Check your server responses
- Check your robots.txt and meta tags
- Verify your site in Google & Bing Webmaster Tools
- Check and see if there are any issues in Webmaster Tools
- Update your sitemap and upload it to Google & Bing Webmaster Tools
- Make sure your site is crawlable for Googlebot
- Google also crawls through inbound links to your site - take a look at your Local SEO for some potentially quick and easy wins
- Check your internal links to make sure they are follow
Running through those should help you find the issue rather quickly - hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Jimmy,
Thank you for your answering the question I stated above. What i forgot to tell in my story is that I already fetched as Google but the page only gets partially indexed. Since then, the situation hasn't changed and the page doesn't get's an indexation. Google says our livechat tool Zopim (type AJAX) blocks the crawling while other pages do get succesfully fetched while having the same tool.

Are the backlinks from external pages, rather than internal? If you can get an external backlink or two pointing at the page that may help indexation speed. The easiest - but least reliable for ensuring indexation - way would be to mention the new page on social media from a few accounts including Google +.

Hi,
If you do a 'Fetch as Google' in Google Webmasters Tools (under the Crawl menu) there is a submit to index button once it successfully finds the page.
Kind Regards
Jimmy

Keywords are indexed on the home page
Hello everyone, For one of our websites, we have optimized for many keywords. However, it seems that every keyword is indexed on the home page, and thus not ranked properly. This occurs only on one of our many websites. I am wondering if anyone knows the cause of this issue, and how to solve it. Thank you.

My blog homepage deindexed, other pages indexing, still traffic not changed.
Hello! Today when I check my blog site search on Google, I can't see my blog home page. Though all my posts and pages are still on the Google results. Today I published a test post, then it also indexed by the Google less than 3 minutes. Still I can't see any traffic changes. 10th of April (yesterday) when I perform a site search (site:mydomain.com), I saw my site on the Google search result. Today I installed the Ulitmate SEO plug-in and deactivated WordPress SEO plug-in. After a few hours I saw this issue. (I'm not saying this is the issue, I just mentioned it). In addition to that I never used any black hat SEO methods to improve my ranking. my site:- http://goo.gl/6mvQT Any help really appreciate!

Will one line of duplicate content drag down my landing page?
I am using copyscape to check for duplicate content on my landing pages. I found three sites that have the exact same sentence as mine, on a page that I rank well for on one of two key terms related to the product. The sentence is not essential to my product page. Do I risk losing page one rank on a key search term when I remove that sentence on my site, in hopes of possibly improving the page on the second key search term? Do I leave it alone? This is an older "template" site with very little that I can do SEO-wise, and I have managed to get a few key prodcut landing pages on page one of Google. It has seen a drop in rank on many landing pages post-panda, and I'm doing my best to clean up what I can. Do I leave well enough alone for a page one rank on one term, or swap out that sentence in hopes of getting better rank on two keywords?

Is there an easier way from the server to prevent duplicate page content?
I know that using either 301 or 302 will fix the problem of duplicate page content. My question would be; is there an easier way of preventing duplicate page content when it's an issue with the URL. For example: URL: http://example.com URL: http://www.example.com My guess would be like it says here, that it's a setting issue with the server. If anyone has some pointers on how to prevent this from occurring, it would be greatly appreciated.
