Google Indexing our site
-
We have 700 city pages on our site. We submitted to google via a https://www.samhillbands.com/sitemaps/locations.xml but they only indexed 15 so far.
Yes the content is similar on all of the pages...thought on getting them to index the remaining pages?

Hi Brian,
809 over 863 is over the 93% of the site indexed. I'd wait a little more.
Also, I dont think that i will add value that you manually submit the URLs that you think are not indexed.A reminder, WMT is being realy delayed on the latest information shown. In my case, the last record is from 4th may.

site:samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/
says about 809 results for /bands-by-location/
Webmaster tools says 730 out of 862 submitted.
Is there any value to manually submitting the URLS that are on my sitemap but not being indexed?
-
If it's been a couple of weeks, should I manually submit the URLS's that haven't been indexed?
-
It's hard to say...our number of pages indexed was climbing, and I checked today and now it says my sitemap is pending?
-
Hi Brian! Any update? Are you still waiting for your site to be indexed?
-
You submitted those yesterday? You should wait more time. I'd wait for about 1-2 weeks for a correct number. Remember that Google takes its time to index.
I've had site for that amount of pages and some took about a week and others took over a month

Thanks for the response.
I have submitted my MAIN sitemap and the sumitted my LOCATION map seperatly.
All pages are set to index at the robots.txt level.
I have submitted some individual LOCATION pages and they are being indexed.
Thoughts?
I am getting that number from search console:
# Sitemap
Type Processed Issues Items Submitted Indexed --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- 1 /sitemaps/locations.xml Sitemap Apr 25, 2016 - Web 771 15 2 /sitemaps/sitemap.xml Sitemap index Apr 25, 2016 - Web 862 103 -
Hi there,
Where do you get the stat fo the indexed pages?
I'm seeing about 60 indexed in the subdirectory: samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/Check it yourself by searching: site:samhillbands.com/bands-by-location/
Just to rule out, have you submitted all sitemaps to search console? Are all your pages indexable?
that last one is to be checked whether it's set to no index on the robots.txt or at every page with a meta tag.
And, have you tried indexing manually any random page and check if it's indexed?

No-Indexing on Ecommerce site
Hi Our site has a lot of similar/lower quality product pages which aren't a high priority - so these probably won't get looked at in detail to improve performance as we have over 200,000 products . Some of them do generate a small amount of revenue, but an article I read suggested no-indexing pages which are of little value to improve site performance & overall structure. I wanted to find out if anyone had done this and what results they saw? Will this actually improve rankings of our focus areas? It makes me a bit nervous to just block pages so any advice is appreciated 🙂

HTTPS pages - To meta no-index or not to meta no-index?
I am working on a client's site at the moment and I noticed that both HTTP and HTTPS versions of certain pages are indexed by Google and both show in the SERPS when you search for the content of these pages. I just wanted to get various opinions on whether HTTPS pages should have a meta no-index tag through an htaccess rule or whether they should be left as is.

Development site is live (and has indexed) alongside live site - what's the best course of action?
Hello Mozzers, I am undertaking a site audit and have just noticed that the developer has left the development site up and it has indexed. They 301d from pages on old site to equivalent pages on new site but seem to have allowed the development site to index, and they haven't switched off the development site. So would the best option be to redirect the development site pages to the homepage of the new site (there is no PR on dev site and there are no links incoming to dev site, so nothing much to lose...)? Or should I request equivalent to equivalent page redirection? Alternatively I can simply ask for the dev site to be switched off and the URLs removed via WMT, I guess... Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

Will Google bots crawl tablet optimized pages of our site?
We are in the process of creating a tablet experience for a portion of our site. We haven’t yet decided if we will use a one URL structure for pages that will have a tablet experience or if we will create separate URLs that can only be access by tablet users. Either way, will the tablet versions of these pages/URLs be crawled by Google bots?

How do I presuade Google to re-consider my site?
A few weeks ago I got an emai from Google that my site is suspected to violating Google guidelines-->suspected links manipulationg Google Page rank. My site dropped to the second page. I have contacted some of the top webmasters who link to me and they have removed the links or added a nofollow. When I asked for re-consideation I got an answear that there are still suspected links. What do I do now? I can't remove all of my links?! BTW this happened before the offical Pinguin Update.
