Yes, your suggestion is right. I have added XML sitemap to Google webmaster tools. But, I am still confuse with crawling.

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?

Hey Ryan!! Again very good suggestion to hire good SEO consultant.... I am 1000% to going to do that.... What you think about future performance of this website... ? Can I mesh up lighting industry with proper SEO stuffs? This is really big mind bubble in business direction... This is not SEO but as per your knowledge ... Does it really matter to do it in future?

It's really really good answer. But, I am not able to click Good answer... Don't worry about it.

BTW: I am getting your point... I am selling tiki torches with Table Lamps board... If any stall in market for selling tiki torches so banner of canopy will be Tiki Torches... What you think about it?

I have list down all suggestions in my diary... as follow.

1. Remove initial Number from title tag and add in to end.

2. Edit URL structure with name. may be include category name.

3. I will add unique content with product details.

4. I am going to add more images for products. (What you think about social media buttons like Google plus, Twitter and Facebook?)

If any missing so you can add in this list... So, that's great for me.

I want to give few answers for your questions. I have already done some of following tasks for my website. But, still not getting... That's why I am too much irritated with it.

1. Have you submitted a sitemap to Google? If not, do so as there are clearly some issues.

My answer: Yup, I have submitted to Google, Yahoo & Bing.

2. Have you performed a test crawl of your site? Use the SEOmoz crawler. You don't need a 100% complete report. You are trying to review your site for crawl errors which impact your whole site.

My answer: Yup, I have checked it. You can find out attachment to know more about it. You can help me more on this section. Because, I am quite new with SEOmoz tools.

3. I would suggest examining your site's navigation. With only 1% of your site getting indexed, there may be a problem.

My answer: Regarding what? Top navigation? Left navigation? Footer? Breadcrumb or HTML sitemap?

4. Do you have any content on your product pages? If you just throw up an image with a product name, the page will likely not be indexed.

My answer: You can look in to know more.

I have added all product details, manufacturer details (But, it's duplicate on many webpages.)

5. Ensure your robots.txt file is not blocking pages which should be indexed.

My answer: Yup, I checked it ... http://www.vistastores.com/robots.txt.... It's perfect... according to my opinion...

6. Thoroughly examine your Google WMT for errors and issues.

My answer: I will do it... It's remaining.

@ Ryan Kent

Oh great. Thanks man...

You are right about manufacturer part number. But, I have added it to URL because duplication of product title in website. There are 7000+ products and may be 15000+ products in near future.

Sometimes, It's quite critical or time consuming to develop unique product title for all products. Because, it seems like duplicate title from manufacturers' sheet.

I personally believe to make product live before making unique title for each products. So, right now it's helping me to prevent duplicate product URLs with my website.

I am thinking and 100% implementing your suggestions regarding .html.

Manufacturer part number may be help me to create organic presence during that search. I have also submitted my products over Google shopping and going to disply during manufacturer part number.

I thinking one solution for it. I am going to add manufacturer part number in Title tag rather than URL...

So, URL will construct with root category or sub category + Unique SKU number + product name.

What you think about it? thanks again!!

Oh! Great.. First of all, thanks for your prompt reply.

Why I want to do this? That's big question for me. I am working on such a big eCommerce website with 7000+ products. Website is live since more than 3 months. But, Google have indexed only 94 URLs.

I have really big mind bubbles for it. I don't know what's going on with my site & How can I resolve it. My ultimate goal is to improve indexing and index maximum webpages of website.

I come to know about Google's search engine optimization starter guide and assumed that described points can help me to achieve me in same direction.

URL structure is also one part of that PDF version. So, I am going to think about it. I am also thinking about your suggestions.

I am working on my website to edit structure with help of Google's search engine optimization starter guide.

There is really good instruction to define URL structure which help us to perform well over Google's organic search. I have resolved issues regarding category pages but, I have confusion to define best URL structure for product pages. My website's product page URL structure is as follow.

http://www.vistastores.com/marketumbrellas-californiaumbrella-slpt758-f13-red.html

http://www.vistastores.com/homefurniture-winsomewood-93630.html

URL structure is constructed with following terms.

1. Root Category Name (Market Umbrellas or Home Furniture or ....)

2. Brand Name

3. Manufacturer Part Number

I am not happy with this structure and also not performing well over Google's organic search. I am thinking to include product name or title tag in URL after root domain. But, it may create very long URL and create issues in organic search display.

Does it really matter to perform well over Google's organic search? How can I define best URL structure for product pages?
