Mobile website indexing
-
Hi
we have a mobile version of our website at mobile.gardening-services-edinburgh.com
its been live for 5, maybe 6 months, it has its own mobile-sitemap.xml
have tried submitting this sitemap to google and for some reason it does not index these pages
any ideas, most welcome

Like [Peter Nikolow](https://moz.com/users/view/397332) said, you need a special sitemap - that one for both like the code above or in his link i guess, or a special mobile sitemap. Your mobile Sitemap is not a mobile Sitemap, the mobile one should look like this:
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0"><url><loc>http://mobile.yourdomain.com/article100.html</loc></url></urlset>

You don't need BOTH sitemaps. You need ONE as i show you in mine link.

Hi
good ans. thanks
i already have a mobile-sitemap.xml
do i need both?

Why ever this page: /Edinburgh-driveway-installers.htm is indexed. The mobile friendly test workls on the sites I tested, also the not-indexed-once. So -> the bot see's the mobile version. Alternate and canocials seems to be ok, its just the indexing.
You tried a new sitemap? You should add the mobile url's included alternate in the existing sitemap:
<code><urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><url><loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/page1/</loc></url></urlset></code>

I check quick your site both desktop and mobile. Only that seems you missing is last step with sitemap. Please see here:
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/configurations/separate-urls
how Google recommend to annotate mobile webpages in sitemap.Rest is ok - you have alternate pages on desktop to mobile; you have proper canonical from mobile to desktop; you have some JavaScript redirect based on window.width that works too. Just sitemap links are missing.

Indexing pages content that is not needed
Hi All, I have a site that has articles and a side block that shows interesting articles in a column block. While we google for a keyword i can see the page but the meta description is picked from the side block "interesting articles" and not the actual article in the page. How can i deny indexing that block alone Thanks

Different domains for multilingual website
Hey guys, A site that I'm currently working on as different domains for each website language. So for example: word1word2.com for the english version word3word4.com for the french version word5word6.com for spanish version .... Is it better to move all of the different languages to the same domain and use subfolders for each language /fr/... Please note that the domains being used bring in organic traffic as well as they are EMDs. Thank You.

Google Indexing
Hi Everybody, I am having kind of an issue when it comes to the results Google is showing on my site. I have a multilingual site, which is main language is Catalan. But of course if I am looking results in Spanish (google.es) or in English (google.com) I want Google to show the results with the proper URL, title and descriptions. My brand is "Vallnord" so if you type this in Google you will be displayed the result in Catalan (Which is not optimized at all yet) but if you search "vallnord.com/es" only then you will be displayed the result in Spanish What do I have to do in order for Google to read this the way I want? Regards, Guido.
