Why just 1 Page has been crawled till date?
-
We have started SEO for our nestle-family.com/english/ site.
However, till date only just 1 page has been crawled. What are the reason for the pages not being crawled?

Hi Francis,
I hope you've had more than one page crawled by now. If not, check out the help desk article about what to do if only one page is being crawled. http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-why-isn-t-my-site-being-crawled-you-only-crawled-one-page.
If that doesn't fix things, it's time to email the help desk at help@seomoz.org.

Francis,
The SEOMoz crawler which is indexing your site operates differently than that of what Google, Yahoo and Bing's. Though the SEOMoz tools are extremely useful, you may find more comprehensive results in your Google Webmaster Tools account. To see how many pages google is including from your site, I highly recommend submitting an XML sitemap to Google, Yahoo and Bing. Then, once they have it, you'll be able to see, withing the sitemap area(s) how many pages the engines are including in their index.
This doesn't give you any meaningful data in regards to rankings though. For that, you can use either the SEOMoz ranking check tool and Your site on the area within Google Webmaster tools (left side) that is nested in the following links.
Your site on the web> Search queries
Note that my suggestion of uploading a sitemap is purely based on seeing how many pages are indexed and doesn't consider any SEO strategies such as letting google find you on their own. Which may be better depending on who you ask! For me, I'd upload the sitemap because your incoming links and social media marketing should theoretically have the same effect on your rankings as it would with or without an XML sitemap.

Thanks Randy. I see the results as 9 for the domain. However, I had entered this URL in SEO Moz, to track and evaluate the performance. But, here it shows that just 1 page is crawled till date. Why would this be the case?

I'm getting 9 results for the domain! Try this in your Google search box to see. If you do not get the same results, you might be and probably are in a different location than me. When you use the below query (And anytime you're spot checking rankings) sign out of accounts associated with the engine you're checking. Also, the below query is for google.

Over 40+ pages have been removed from the indexed and this page has been selected as the google preferred canonical.
Over 40+ pages have been removed from the indexed and this page has been selected as the google preferred canonical. https://studyplaces.com/about-us/ The pages affected by this include: https://studyplaces.com/50-best-college-party-songs-of-all-time-and-why-we-love-them/ https://studyplaces.com/15-best-minors-for-business-majors/ As you can see the content on these pages is totally unrelated to the content on the about-us page. Any ideas why this is happening and how to resolve.

Google Crawling Issues! How Can I Get Google to Crawl My Website Regularly?
Hi Everyone! My website is not being crawled regularly by Google - there are weeks when it's regular but for the past month or so it does not get crawled for seven to eight days. There are some specific pages, that I want to get ranked but they of late are not being crawled AT ALL unless I use the 'Fetch As Google' tool! That's not normal, right? I have checked and re-checked the on-page metrics for these pages (and the website as a whole, backlinking is a regular and ongoing process as well! Sitemap is in place too! Resubmitted it once too! This issue is detrimental to website traffic and rankings! Would really appreciate insights from you guys! Thanks a lot!

How Does Google's "index" find the location of pages in the "page directory" to return?
This is my understanding of how Google's search works, and I am unsure about one thing in specific: Google continuously crawls websites and stores each page it finds (let's call it "page directory") Google's "page directory" is a cache so it isn't the "live" version of the page Google has separate storage called "the index" which contains all the keywords searched. These keywords in "the index" point to the pages in the "page directory" that contain the same keywords. When someone searches a keyword, that keyword is accessed in the "index" and returns all relevant pages in the "page directory" These returned pages are given ranks based on the algorithm The one part I'm unsure of is how Google's "index" knows the location of relevant pages in the "page directory". The keyword entries in the "index" point to the "page directory" somehow. I'm thinking each page has a url in the "page directory", and the entries in the "index" contain these urls. Since Google's "page directory" is a cache, would the urls be the same as the live website (and would the keywords in the "index" point to these urls)? For example if webpage is found at wwww.website.com/page1, would the "page directory" store this page under that url in Google's cache? The reason I want to discuss this is to know the effects of changing a pages url by understanding how the search process works better.

Product Pages Outranking Category Pages
Hi, We are noticing an issue where some product pages are outranking our relevant category pages for certain keywords. For a made up example, a "heavy duty widgets" product page might rank for the keyword phrase Heavy Duty Widgets, instead of our Heavy Duty Widgets category page appearing in the SERPs. We've noticed this happening primarily in cases where the name of the product page contains an at least partial match for the desired keyword phrase we want the category page to rank for. However, we've also found isolated cases where the specified keyword points to a completely irrelevent pages instead of the relevant category page. Has anyone encountered a similar issue before, or have any ideas as to what may cause this to happen? Let me know if more clarification of the question is needed. Thanks!

Handling 301s: Multiple pages to a single page (consolidation)
Been scouring the interwebs and haven't found much information on redirecting two serparate pages to a single new page. Here is what it boils down to: Let's say a website has two pages, both with good page authority of products that are becoming fazed out. The products, Widget A and Widget B, are still popular search terms, but they are being combined into ONE product, Widget C. While Widget A and Widget B STILL have plenty to do with Widget C, Widget C is now the new page, the main focus page, and the page you want everyone to see and Google to recognize. Now, do I 301 Widget A and Widget B pages to Widget C, ALTHOUGH Widgets A and B previously had nothing to do with one another? (Remember, we want to try and keep some of that authority the two page have had.) OR do we keep Widget A and Widget B pages "alive", take them off the main navigation, and then put a "disclaimer" on the pages announcing they are now part of Widget C and link to Widget C? OR Should Widgets A and B page be canonicalized to Widget C? Again, keep in mind, widgets A and B previously were not similar, but NOW they are and result in Widget C. (If you are confused, we can provide a REAL work example of what we are talkinga about, but decided to not be specific to our industry for this.) Appreciate any and all thoughts on this.
