WMT Fetch as Google
-
Is there any benefits in using 'Fetch as Google' in WMT and then submitting for indexing?
I have a page which I'm trying to get to rank so far with no luck is it likely to help or could it hinder?
Please speak from experience not hearsay
Many Thanks

Hi,
Internal linking can be a fantastic way to build internal page authority and to give more emphasis to particular pages.
In a simple way, here is how it works...
-- Create amazing article related to the page you are trying to rank for
-- High up in the copy, create a target anchor text that leads to the page you are trying to boost. Make the anchor text the same / very similar to your desired phrase - but make sure it makes sense.Have a read of this article over at eConsultancy. This goes through it in a lot more detail and will show you exactly what you need to be doing.
I personally have had some astounding successes with this. The article you create should be better than the norm though. You want something that will get shared socially and hopefully, result in some backlinks too.

don't under estimate the power of social, local & video!

Apart from link acquisition any other ideas on how to build authority?
-
Always helps, as smart as Google is at a basic level it still uses links as a measurement, for now at least.
-
Thanks for your input - Interesting, Have batted it round social media a couple of times and just done a "site:" search and is indexed.
So must be an authority issue, the page has been round a few weeks and I'm fairly confident the pages in reasonable shape.
Maybe start a bit of quality link building?

Getting a page to rank is not the same as getting a page to be indexed
Fetching as Google will not increase your rankings for anything it will just indicate any errors in the page that Google with have crawling it.
You can do a quick Google search to see if the page in question is not being indexed by using the search term - "site:yourdomain.com/page.html" if it doesn't show up in the results then it is not being indexed.
If it is a new page it might take a while to appear in organic search.

They do the same thing so there is no difference in that sense, Fetch as Google is helpful that it will show you can errors or blocked resources. submitting for Google is not the sole way to rank a page and really its only the very start. A third option is you can submit your site though social media and let it be found this way, it can be helpful because its a bit more organic.

Using Google structured Data for SEO benefit
Hi there I run www.isacleanse.com.au and I've set up some Structured data using Google Webmaster Tools which says it will be picked up during the next Google update (has been set up over 4 weeks ago), however I dont seem to see any of the structured data for the products/reviews/ratings etc coming through in search results. Question at hand: Is there additional things I need to do in the code of the website or should this be sufficient? (see attached screenshot) szpFUpX

As in same title shows fine (displays in full) on old design serps but truncated on new designed page Anyone else notice this ? Cheers Dan

Google Search - One page having problems
this issue is concerning my site - cruvoir.com we retail designer clothing online, and currently have 17 'designer' pages - one for each manufacturer brand name. We target these brand names for our campaign and track the progress with Moz and try to focus them in Google search. Of many of the designer names, we rank pretty well in Google search (usually under #15 when searching for the specific brand. All brands are doing well, except one brand : "Lost And Found" - a designer label we carry. This is the page for this brand name : https://cruvoir.com/5-lost-and-found we cannot figure it out. It happens to be our most important label we carry. when we search for this brand name or include it in any other search terms, we never are in the google search results. I expect it is a crawl issue, but we have covered all our ground in optimizing this brand page. It seems this page is also indexed with Google. But we cannot figure out why it does not rank us in search.

Google indexing https insted of http pages
Hi!
On-Page Optimization | | ovieira
First of all i have a Wordpress portuguese languagem website (**http://**bit.ly/TGjpVx). For a while, for security pourposes, i had a SSL certificate installed on my website but i didn't renew it, for a few months now. I didn't have any special https page. All pages responded using http or https. My problem is that it seems that Google still indexes some o my webpages with https and not http, so when people click on it they get a bad cached page. No good for SEO, i think. What can i do about this? I only want Google, and other serach engines, to index my clean http pages (about 70 pages). Thanks,
