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??
