Getting page cached
-
I am reworking some content that is deep in my site. What is the best way for google to find it? Some of the pages were cached about 3 weeks ago, but I don't want to wait too long to get them to see the new content (and links).
-
Cool, will give it a try!
-
OKay, thanks again!

I haven't seen any documentation by Google supporting this. In my experience I have seen it be successful. However, I haven't run any significant tests to back it up. It has just worked for me, so hoping it works for others. However, Fetch as Googlebot was still in the labs when I saw this working, so I'm not sure if this has changed.

I've heard from others that this can be very effective and I've seen good results getting pages cached quickly (a couple of days) after using it. I've used this very sparingly, so I don't know the period for the allotment. I also used this when it was in the Google Labs. They may have made a few changes when they brought it out of the lab.

If this works, I have also learnt something new today. I always thought this just gave webmasters a chance to look at pages in the way Google would see them. Are you sure this actually sends the real Googlebot to crawl and cache a page?
I didn't see it mentioned here:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=158587Or have you found that it just speeds up the process? i.e. Google have been given some form of indication of where to visit? Definitely interesting!

Stupid question Joe, but is that safe to do? I just submitted 3 URL's successfully, and says I have 47 left. Is 50 a monthly number allotment? So if it was fetched successfully, does that mean google will be caching page soon?
This is pretty cool if it really works.
Thanks,
Mike

Go into webmaster tools > Diagnostics> Fetch as Googlebot. Enter the URL for the page you want crawled.

If your homepage is crawled regularly link to them from your homepage for a period of time. Alternatively, using social signals has worked a charm for me recently - tweet about them, share on Facebook etc, get other people to share.

Is there any decent web browser that still displays the full page title at the top of the page?
I just updated to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac and saw that they now hide most of the page title in the browser tab, like Chrome and Safari. I like to be able to see the full page title at all times (for reasons I'm sure you all understand) and that's pretty much the only reason I stuck with Firefox all these years. Now I'm looking for an alternative – any suggestions?

Please review page for on page SEO
I'm working on an adult dating site review blog and am hoping to build links to the category pages. It's a wordpress blog so the posts are categorised by topics. However can you tell me if there is enough content on the page for google to identify what the page is about? The problem is that the content of each category pages is pulled from the posts. What I think is needed is some static text on the page 2-300 words that use the keyword. Here's an example of a page targeting the keywords 'online dating'. http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com/category/online-dating/

Is reported duplication on the pages or their canonical pages?
There are several sections getting flagged for duplication on one of our sites: http://mysite.com/section-1/?something=X&confirmed=true
On-Page Optimization | | Safelincs
http://mysite.com/section-2/?something=X&confirmed=true
http://mysite.com/section-3/?something=X&confirmed=true Each of the above are showing as having duplicates of the other sections. Indeed, these pages are exactly the same (it's just an SMS confirmation page you enter your code in), however, they all have canonical links back to the section (without the query string), i.e. section-1, section-2 and section-3 respectively. These three sections have unique content and aren't flagged up for duplications themselves, so my questions are: Are the pages with the query strings the duplicates, and if so why are the canonical links being ignored? or Are the canonical pages without the query strings the duplicates, and if so why don't they appear as URLs in their own right in the duplicate content report? I am guessing it's the former, but I can't figure out why it would ignore the canonical links. Any ideas? Thanks0 -
Duplicate Page Content and Duplicate Page Title
Hi All, I'm new in SEOMoz and have some questions after I have already spend 2-3 days trying to resolve the problems identified from Crawling one of my clients websites. I get quite a lot of Duplicate Page Conntent and Page Titles warnings and trying to find a workaround through the forums and posts. I continuously get this error on most of my pages: URL: http://domain.com/benefits with the same Page but with a WWW in front URL: http://www.domain.com/benefits Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Athos

Canonical tag for home page
This question was asked before but I didn't see a clear answer to it. If I've got a site that has as it's home page: http://www.mysite.com/, and there are many references within the site back to the home page that point to /index.php, should I include a canonical tag in the index.php page like this: to avoid a duplicate content issue, and to have all juice from both links combined into one?
