Indexing falling/search queries the same - concerned
-
Hello, I posted abou this a few days ago but didn't really get anywhere and now have new information after looking into it more.
This is my site - http://www.whosjack.org
My page indexing has been falling steadily daily currently from thousands of pages indexed to just a couple of hundred.
My search queries don't seem to be currently affected, I have done crawl tests to see if the site can be crawled and put the site:whosjack.org into Google and had 12,000 results come back when goole has said it has indexed 133 and falling. However all pages indexed on the site:whosjack.org search seem to be stories with just two words in the title?
I am sure I am missing out on traffic here but can't work out what the issue is and how to fix it.
I have no alerts on my dashboard and when I submit sitemaps to webmaster tools I get
15,115 URLs submitted 12,088 URLs indexedwhich cant be bad?Any help/suggestions really appreciated.

No crawl errors and only a very slight drop in traffic but that doesn't correspond to when the pages were apparently dropping in the indexing.
I am thinking this might be to do with a similar reporting error to the linked content that have all disappeared also.
It's very odd, I am just hoping that my traffic isn't suddenly going to drop accordingly as according to the graph the pages indexed are still going down.
Maybe its a bug thing?

Hi Lu,
You're still showing 12,00+ indexed urls when I use the site: operator!
Have you seen a drop in traffic?
Are there any crawl errors showing in WMT?
Neil.

Hey Louise,
Thanks for posting your question!
I just checked out your campaigns and I'm seeing 14,000+ pages crawled, so there are no issues with your site being crawled by us. If you are having trouble seeing all of your pages indexed by search engines, then you will need to reach out to the search engines directly (there is no way for us to know whats going on from the search engine's perspective.)
This isn't really an issue with the project, so you may want to pst in the SEO section to get more responses to your problem.
Best,

Hi Neil,
thanks for answering. I mean that on my Index status my indexed pages have been steadily dropping :
| Total indexed |
| 128 |This is why it all makes no sense ?

Hi Lu,
When you say "My page indexing has been falling steadily" what do you mean exactly?
Like you, I can see +12,000 pages indexed by Google. And if Webmaster Tools is telling you that you have 12,088 URLs indexed it all looks fine...
Neil.

Disallow: /jobs/? is this stopping the SERPs from indexing job posts
Hi,
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | JamesHancocks1
I was wondering what this would be used for as it's in the Robots.exe of a recruitment agency website that posts jobs. Should it be removed? Disallow: /jobs/?
Disallow: /jobs/page/*/ Thanks in advance.

How does Googlebot evaluate performance/page speed on Isomorphic/Single Page Applications?
I'm curious how Google evaluates pagespeed for SPAs. Initial payloads are inherently large (resulting in 5+ second load times), but subsequent requests are lightning fast, as these requests are handled by JS fetching data from the backend. Does Google evaluate pages on a URL-by-URL basis, looking at the initial payload (and "slow"-ish load time) for each? Or do they load the initial JS+HTML and then continue to crawl from there? Another way of putting it: is Googlebot essentially "refreshing" for each page and therefore associating each URL with a higher load time? Or will pages that are crawled after the initial payload benefit from the speedier load time? Any insight (or speculation) would be much appreciated.

Natural Fluctuation in Search Traffic
This is going to sound like a weird question... I'm curious to know whether there is a natural fluctuation in the actual number of searches being made online each week. It would be great to relate this to the performance of my own organic traffic each week. For example, if organic search traffic is down 10% week on week, is that because search in general is down 10%? Has anybody ever looking into this?

New Web Page Not Indexed
Quick question with probably a straightforward answer... We created a new page on our site 4 days ago, it was in fact a mini-site page though I don't think that makes a difference... To date, the page is not indexed and when I use 'Fetch as Google' in WT I get a 'Not Found' fetch status... I have also used the'Submit URL' in WT which seemed to work ok... We have even resorted to 'pinging' using Pinglar and Ping-O-Matic though we have done this cautiously! I know social media is probably the answer but we have been trying to hold back on that tactic as the page relates to a product that hasn't quite launched yet and we do not want to cause any issues with the vendor! That said, I think we might have to look at sharing the page socially unless anyone has any other ideas? Many thanks Andy

Why is a page with a noindex code being indexed?
I was looking through the pages indexed by Google (with site:www.mywebsite.com) and one of the results was a page with "noindex, follow" in the code that seems to be a page generated by blog searches. Any ideas why it seems to be indexed or how to de-index it?
