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?

Does including your site in Google News (and Google) Alerts helps with SEO?
Based on the following article http://homebusiness.about.com/od/yourbusinesswebsite/a/google-alerts.htm in order to check if you are included you need to run site:domain.com and click the news search tab. If you are not there then... I ran the test on MOZ and got no results which surprised me. Next step according to :https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/40787?hl=en#ts=3179198 is to submit your site for inclusion. Should I? Will it help? P.S.

Google Indexed Old Backups Help!
I have the bad habit of renaming a html page sitting on my server, before uploading a new version. I usually do this after a major change. So after the upload, on my server would be "product.html" as well as "product050714".html. I just stumbled on the fact G has been indexing these backups. Can I just delete them and produce a 404?

Buying a Google News website, against Google Terms?
We are looking at buying a business that has a number of websites Is it against buying a business that has a Google News website and continue to use the site? Once the business is sold, would google remove the site from its News?

Is it safe to not have a sitemap if Google is already crawling my site every 5-10 min?
I work on a large news site that is constantly being crawled by Google. Googlebot is hitting the homepage every 5-10 minutes. We are in the process of moving to a new CMS which has left our sitemap nonfunctional. Since we are getting crawled so often, I've met resistance from an overwhelmed development team that does not see creating sitemaps as a priority. My question is, are they right? What are some reasons that I can give to support my claim that creating an xml sitemap will improve crawl efficiency and indexing if we are already having new stories appear in Google SERPs within 10-15 minutes of publication? Is there a way to quantify what the difference would be if we added a sitemap?

Indexing non-indexed content and Google crawlers
On a news website we have a system where articles are given a publish date which is often in the future. The articles were showing up in Google before the publish date despite us not being able to find them linked from anywhere on the website. I've added a 'noindex' meta tag to articles that shouldn't be live until a future date. When the date comes for them to appear on the website, the noindex disappears. Is anyone aware of any issues doing this - say Google crawls a page that is noindex, then 2 hours later it finds out it should now be indexed? Should it still appear in Google search, News etc. as normal, as a new page? Thanks. 🙂
