Roger returned single page
-
A search query in Google shows 156 indexed results. Yet Roger has completed a crawl and returned a single page. The website is table based, but there appear to be no redirects or Javascript blocking bots so I'm unsure why Roger has under delivered. The problem is not unique to Roger. I ran the site through Screaming Frog's desktop crawler and it also returned a single page.
I'm wondering if there is something in the site code I don't know to look for that is stopping Roger & Screaming Frog from crawling the site.
Appreciate any insights you can offer.
PS. I've read https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-Why-Isn-t-My-Site-Being-Crawled-You-re-Not-Crawling-All-My-Pages- and don't think these suggested causes apply.

Hi Sam, have PM'd you.

Hi Nic,
I haven't heard back from you so I wanted to pop in really quickly. I went to the site associated with your email and if that's the one you're talking about, the reason why no one is able to crawl it is because there is no link. It looks like you may want to keep this private though so if that's the case, feel cree to reach out to us directly via help[at]moz.com. If you'd like to continue this conversation in the community, feel free to update this thread with the URL in question. Thanks!
Best,
Sam

Sounds like a redirect to me Moz & Screaming Frog's desktop crawler and it also returned a single page.
Hope that helps,
Thomas

Hi Nic!
I'd be happy to take a look, but I'm not sure what URL you're referring to. I reviewed your campaigns and crawl tests and didn't see anything that was stuck on a single page crawl. Can you tell me either which campaign this is for or the URL in question? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Best,
Sam

Should search pages be indexed?
Hey guys, I've always believed that search pages should be no-indexed but now I'm wondering if there is an argument to index them? Appreciate any thoughts!

Similar pages on a site
Hi I think it was at BrightonSEO where PI DataMetrics were talking about similar pages on a website can cause rankings to drop for your main page. This has got me thinking. if we have a category about jumpers so: example.com/jumpers but then our blog has a category about jumpers, where we write all about jumpers etc which creates a category page example.com/blog/category/jumpers, so these blog category pages have no index put on them to stop them ranking in Google? Thanks in Advance for any tips. Andy

Google showing https:// page in search results but directing to http:// page
We're a bit confused as to why Google shows a secure page https:// URL in the results for some of our pages. This includes our homepage. But when you click through it isn't taking you to the https:// page, just the normal unsecured page. This isn't happening for all of our results, most of our deeper content results are not showing as https://. I thought this might have something to do with Google conducting searches behind secure pages now, but this problem doesn't seem to affect other sites and our competitors. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how we get around it?

Many Pages Being Combined Into One Long Page
Hi All, In talking with my internal developers, UX, and design team there has been a big push to move from a "tabbed" page structure (where as each tab is it's own page) to combining everything into one long page. It looks great from a user experience standpoint, but I'm concerned that we'll decrease in rankings for the tabbed pages that will be going away, even with a 301 in place. I initially recommending#! or pushstate for each "page section" on the long form content. However there are technical limitations with this in our CMS. The next idea I had was to still leave those pages out there and to link to them in the source code, but this approach may get shot down as well. Has anyone else had to solve for this issue? If so, how did you do it?

After I 301 redirect duplicate pages to my rel=canonical page, do I need to add any tags or code to the non canonical pages?
I have many duplicate pages. Some pages have 2-3 duplicates. Most of which have Uppercase and Lowercase paths (generated by Microsoft IIS). Does this implementation of 301 and rel=canonical suffice? Or is there more I could do to optimize the passing of duplicate page link juice to the canonical. THANK YOU!

Auto generated pages
Hi, I have two sites showing (crawl report from SEOMoz.org) extremely high numbers of duplicate titles and descriptions (e.g., 33,000). These sites have CMSs behind them and so the duplicate titles, etc., are a result of auto-generated pages. What is the best way to address these problems? Thanks! David

Specific Link Page in Domain
Hi everyone: I have seen that many SEO Agencies have contacted my business (Also SEO but In- House) in order to interchange links. They have created a specific page on their site with the Label "Links" or similar, and on that page they add multiple links of the competence. I have heard that you can only do that if you make sure you add two things: No follow in links. Not inserting links of websites that have nothing to do with our sector. Either way, I have never found this amusing. I always recommend people not to do this but I have my doubts after all. ¿Could some one give me their opinion? Cheers !
