How to Resolve Google Crawling Issues for My eCommerce Website?
-
I want to resolve Google crawling issues for my eCommerce website. My website is as follow.
http://www.vistastores.com/ Google have crawled only 97 webpages from my website. My website is quite old. (~More than 6 months) But, Google have indexed only 97 webpages.
I have created one campaign over SEOmoz tool and found some errors over there. So, I just assumed that due to it Google did not crawled my website.
But, I have created one another campaign for my competitor website to know actual status and reason behind it.
I found that, my competitor website have more error compare to me but, Google have crawled maximum pages compare to me.
So, What is reason behind it? How can I improve my crawling rate and index maximum webpages to Google?

I aware about it. But, I have confusion with omitted results. Google shows me 509 URLs in visible portion and remaining one in omitted results.
I have checked similar result for my competitor with table lamps keyword.
site:simplytablelamps.com
Google shows 2470 pages for my competitor and omitted result is very less compare to my website.
I really don't know more about it but it may cut out my impression with products which are included in omitted result. This is my assumption. What you think about it? If you can give me more idea so it will help me more.

When I do a site:vistastores.com, I see about 2300 results indexed in Google, which indicates Google is both indexing and crawling your site. How many pages do you have?

Hi, Liam
I come back on this question after long time. Because, I am still surviving with crawling issue. Google is not crawling my website after implement all checklists.
Today, I read one blog post about to increase Google crawl rate.
Blog suggesting to set custom crawl rate with help of Google webmaster tools. So, Does it really matter to improve crawling?
What is important and helpful ... natural crawling by Google or embarrassing crawling by Google?

I am going forward with multiple XML sitemap after long R & D.
-
I am still waiting for additional answers in same direction. Can any one help me? I need answer on urgent basis.
-
Yes, your suggestion is right. I have added XML sitemap to Google webmaster tools. But, I am still confuse with crawling.
-
Not sure if you've already done this, but if not - signup to Google Webmaster Tools and submit your sitemap. You can also check crawl errors etc.
With e-commerce websites it's always useful to use an automated XML sitemap so that each product page is added and can then be crawled and indexed.
Let me know if this answers your question??

I'm looking to put a quite length FAQs tab on product pages on an ecommerce site. Am I likely to have duplicate content issues?
On an ecommerce site we have unique content on the product pages (i.e. descriptions), as well as the usual delivery and returns tabs for customer convenience. From this we haven't had any duplicate content issues or warnings, which seems to be the case industry-wide. However, we're looking to add a more lengthy FAQs tab which is still highly relevant to the customer but contains a lot more text than the other tabs. The product descriptions are also relatively small. Do you think this will cause potential duplicate content issues or should it be treated the same as a delivery tab, for instance?

Schema.org for news websites?
So as of late I have been on something of a mission to mark up my news website with as much accurate and detailed Schema and Open Graph data as possible, in order to not only allow the search engines to understand my content properly, but also to ensure everything appears in the most ideal fashion when linked to from Facebook, Google+, etc. Here is an example of a typical article page: http://www.nerdscoop.net/technology/video-games-459 As you'll see I currently have news posts marked up as article because that is essentially exactly what they are, but is there a better way to emphasise that they are news rather than just generic articles? My second question is regarding the category pages and the home page. How would be best to mark these up? With OG the task is fairly simple, because I can specify the homepage as being a website, but not so with Schema from what I can see. Either way, this is an interesting subject to me and I look forward to any discussion as a result. Thanks for looking.

Content for ecommerce site
How important on site/page contents are for ecommerce site. Keeping in mind the page layout. Its not that important to have page copy/content at all for ecommerce sites If yes, does position of content is an important factor? if putting page copy/content in upper fold of a page then the most important thing which is product itself will have less exposure if putting near the footer of the page, does that seem like doing just for the sake of SEs and ranking. How important internal linking form that content would be compare to left panel links or links at the header of a website Thanks Rick
