Crawl at a stand still
-
Hello Moz'ers,
More questions about my Shopify migration...it seems that I'm not getting indexed very quickly (it's been over a month since I completed the migration) - I have done the following:
- used an Seo app to find and complete redirects (right away)
- used the same app to straighten out title tags, metas and alt tags
- submitted the sitemap
- re-submitted my main product URL's via Fetch
- checked the Console - no reported blocks or crawl errors
I will mention that I had to assign my blog to a sub-domain because Shopify's blog platform is awful. I had a lot of 404's on the blog, but fixed those. The blog was not a big source of traffic (I'm an ecomm business) Also, I didn't have a lot of backlinks, and most of those came along anyway.
I did have a number of 8XX and 9XX errors, but I spoke to Shopify about them and they found no issues. In the meantime, those issues pretty much disappeared in the MOZ reporting.
Any duplicate page issues now have a 200 code since I straightened out the title tags.
So what am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Sharon

Hi Dan,
Thank you so very much!! I think things have caught up...I chatted with Google a few days ago and they said everything is ok. I am starting to see some keywords surface; it probably will kick in shortly, as I did quite a bit of SEO work with the new site.
I very much appreciate your help!
Best,
Sharon

Hi Sharon
Is there specific content or pages you're not seeing indexed that should be?
I checked with a site search and see that about 282 pages are indexed right now. I crawled the site, got about 578 active URLs, and subtracting /wp-content/ URLs and subpages, that leaves about 280ish URLs (correction, 380ish), which is the number indexed in Google. which is only 100 more than the number indexed in Google.
Perhaps things caught up, let me know if there's a URL not indexed that you expect to be.
Thanks!

Hi Nicolas,
Yes, I did. I chatted with Google twice on Saturday, and they assured me that the site is being crawled - so, I dunno. I will wait a week or so and recheck the console and MOZ stats.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Why does my site have so many crawl errors relating to the wordpress login / captcha page
Going through the crawl of my site, there were around 100 medium priority issues, such as title element too short, and duplicate page title, and around 80 high priority issues relating to duplicate page content - However every page listed with these issues was the site's wordpress login / captcha page. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Can Google Crawl This Page?
I'm going to have to post the page in question which i'd rather not do but I have permission from the client to do so. Question: A recruitment client of mine had their website build on a proprietary platform by a so-called recruitment specialist agency. Unfortunately the site is not performing well in the organic listings. I believe the culprit is this page and others like it: http://www.prospect-health.com/Jobs/?st=0&o3=973&s=1&o4=1215&sortdir=desc&displayinstance=Advanced Search_Site1&pagesize=50000&page=1&o1=255&sortby=CreationDate&o2=260&ij=0 Basically as soon as you deviate from the top level pages you land on pages that have database-query URLs like this one. My take on it is that Google cannot crawl these pages and is therefore having trouble picking up all of the job listings. I have taken some measures to combat this and obviously we have an xml sitemap in place but it seems the pages that Google finds via the XML feed are not performing because there is no obvious flow of 'link juice' to them. There are a number of latest jobs listed on top level pages like this one: http://www.prospect-health.com/optometry-jobs and when they are picked up they perform Ok in the SERPs, which is the biggest clue to the problem outlined above. The agency in question have an SEO department who dispute the problem and their proposed solution is to create more content and build more links (genius!). Just looking for some clarification from you guys if you don't mind?

Ajax Crawling | Blocked URLs Spike
http://www.zando.co.za/women/shoes/ (for example) Hello, I'm concerned that WMT is reporting a large spike in blocked URLs - now reporting more blocked URLs than good URLs. Our product recommendations get generated via an Ajax call and these autogenerated, unique, URLs are rendered in the /recommendations/ folder which sits in the root of our site: http://www.zando.co.za/recommendations/ I can't see how I can prevent Google from calling the Ajax - I can only assume that's what's happening.This is what the code typically looks like:
