Thanks Davenport and Everett, I've got XML sitemap submitted already, checked robot and no index etc but no stats yet. I'll wait for a few weeks more but it just doesn't make sense to not get any stays after a month. Meanwhile, If i figure out anything, I'll reply here.

Hello,

I am working on 3 weeks old new Magento website. On GWT, under index status >advanced, I can only see 1 crawl on the 4th day of launching and I don't see any numbers for indexed or blocked status.

| Total indexed | Ever crawled | Blocked by robots | Removed |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

I can see the traffic on Google Analytic and i can see the website on SERPS when i search for some of the keywords, i can see the links appear on Google but i don't see any numbers on GWT.. As far as I check there is no 'no index' or robot block issue but Google doesn't crawl the website for some reason.

Any ideas why i cannot see any numbers for indexed or crawled status on GWT?

Thanks

Seda

I didn't think there would be an extension for this but i just found one and it worked perfect for 301 redirection.

In case anyone is interested:)

I am a little unsure what 'back link campaign' means but if it means Link Building then I recommend you to watch these before you work on it:

I had a similar case once and again it was with legal websites, i am not quite sure if it is the same thing but worth checking it.

Legal directories generally have a blog or news page and if they publish a popular subject with unique content , they intent to show up on the first page. For instance, if there is a new update about personal injury or employment law and all these directories publish a well-written unique content on the same day and that effects your ranking depending on the content and keyword you target. However, this is generally temporary issue, they don't stay long on the first page, generally Law firms have stronger position than directories on SERPS.

Hi all,

One of my client has a magento website and I recently received received 404 errors for about 600 links on GWT and I tried to give 301 redirection via bulk upload but i get errors.

It's magento 1.7 and I have following columns on csv file. I included first sample row as well.

The error msg I receive is below. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before and if you know you how to fix this. Manual redirection works fine but probably this first 600 error is just a start, I'll be getting more 404 errors soon, somehow i need to figure out how to fix this. I appreciate if any one has experience on this and guide me through.

Thanks in advance,

Here is the error:

INSERT INTO 'mgn_core_url_rewrite'
