Google Webmaster Tools Not Showing Correct Data?
-
Hi,
I am experience a weird issue. Google webmaster tools suggested me some HTML improvements a few weeks ago. The suggestions were about duplicate Title Tags and Short Meta Descriptions. I changed the Title Tags and Meta Descriptions. But after 3 Google Updates, webmaster still shows the same suggestion.
Please advise
Thanks

Just had to chime in here. I made changes at least 6 weeks ago, probably more like 12 weeks for some pages, and Google is not updating the HTML improvements page. I will look into trying to manually send some URLs in to see if this changes.

Dimitri beat me to the suggestion.
It does take a long time but at least you'll know the correction itself has been picked up if you Fetch it. You're now making me curious to get some issues like that generated on purpose and then time the removal of the warning when both a natural crawl and Fetch are used. Is it different timing in Webmaster Tools? Odd that I've never thought to ask that but now looking forward to a simple and easy to run test.

Hi Kashif,
Give it a try and let us know if you think it works, in our case it didn't change anything unfortunately. You usually have to wait like mentioned above a very long time.

hi,
this i should try to manually fetch those pages.
Thanks

Hi,
Updates means Crawl Update. I have made changes about 3 weeks ago and updated the site map too. During these 3 weeks, google have crawled my site 3 times. But the html improvement suggestions do not change.

It takes reeeeally long time for GMT to refresh their data. I'd recommend to request recrawl manually for those pages. And just make sure that the pages are updated. Sometimes I forget to upload some changes and then wondering why in the world nothing is working

Hello Kashif,
By "Google Updates" do you mean crawls of your site, or updates to the algorithm? It sounds as if your site has not been crawled/indexed since you made the changes, which is why GWT isn't indicating the issues have been fixed. This sounds like an issue that some time and patience will solve.
How long has it been since you made the updates?
Thanks,
Rob

Submitting URLs to Bing and Google
Does Submitting URLs to Bing and Google actually do anything? Is it worthwhile? What I mean is submitting intermittently individual URLS after already submitting the sitemap.

Does Google index dynamically generated content/headers, etc.?
To avoid dupe content, we are moving away from a model where we have 30,000 pages, each with a separate URL that looks like /prices/<product-name>/<city><state>, often with dupe content because the product overlaps from city to city, and it's hard to keep 30,000 pages unique, where sometimes the only distinction is the price & the city/state.</state></city></product-name> We are moving to a model with around 300 unique pages, where some of the info that used to be in the url will move to the page itself (headers, etc.) to cut down on dupe content on those unique 300 pages. My question is this. If we have 300 unique-content pages with unique URL's, and we then put some dynamic info (year, city, state) into the page itself, will Google index this dynamic content? The question behind this one is, how do we continue to rank for searches for that product in the city-state being searched without having that info in the URL? Any best practices we should know about?

Best way to optimize site for Google Maps?
I am working with a site right now and they are ranked #1
On-Page Optimization | | WhiteHat12
for many keyword phrases based on their location and service. Their service is an
Insurance agency, so they rank #1 for many keywords like “Miami Insurance” or “South
Florida Insurance Agency” (their not actually ranked for Miami
just giving an example). I also include their address on every page of the site
(maybe that better helps Google maps?). Problem I am having is when searched
just the keyword phrase they rank number 1 but when searching say “insurance”
while being logged in to the area they rank for they do not come up. I hear that
there might be specific ways to optimize for this. What I would like to know is
what would I have to do to optimize for Google maps and what’s everything I possibly
can do. I am good with search engine optimization but have never really dabbled
much with Google Maps, I always thought they just ranked you based on your
address.0 -
Can A Blog post impact negatively on Google rankings?
We used to rank fairly highly on Google for our preferred search term, but once we introduced a blog (or rather the blog excerps) onto our home page we dropped from page 1 to page 3 for our preferred search term. We have made the assumption this may be down to diluting of keywords and therefor the key phrase or message to the Search Engines was not as clear as it was before. Is this generally accepted as being the case ? If so - should each and every blog post excerpt start with the key seo search phrase to maintain the integrity of that search phrase ? or perhaps even better still is it best to have the blog on a dedicated page only with no excerpts on the home page ? We are using Wordpress and also using multiple categories within the blog - is it perhaps best to just have all blog postings on the one page and use TAGS more often? Thanksing you in advance.
