It seems Google is having issues crawling and indexing some of your site content. This could be due to technical SEO issues like site architecture, use of no index tags, or thin content. I would recommend doing an SEO audit to uncover and fix problems. An affordable digital marketing company can analyze your site's indexing issues, structure, metadata, etc., and provide specific recommendations to improve crawlability and search visibility. With some targeted technical SEO optimizations, you can likely get your informative articles to start ranking.

@NextHeadphone Sure thing! If you're puzzled about why Google isn't picking up your articles, there could be a few culprits. Check if your website's robots.txt file is allowing Googlebot to crawl the content you want them to see, ensure your articles don't have a "noindex" meta tag in the HTML, and provide Google with a map of your site through an XML sitemap. Also, make sure your content is substantial and unique to avoid the duplicate content penalty. Speed up your site for a smoother crawl, fix any crawl errors, and ensure your website is mobile-friendly and secure with an SSL certificate. Encourage backlinks and social sharing to boost your site's visibility. If you've addressed these factors and your articles are still flying under Google's radar, be patient, as changes may take time. For persistent issues, consider consulting SEO professionals or seeking advice from Google support.

If you're experiencing issues with Google not indexing your website or specific pages, there are several potential reasons and solutions to consider. Here are some common issues and steps to address them:
-
Robots.txt File: Check your website's
robots.txt
file to ensure it is not blocking search engine crawlers from accessing certain parts of your site. Make sure the pages you want indexed are not disallowed. -
Noindex Meta Tag: Ensure that the
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
tag is present in the HTML<head>
section of your pages. This tag tells search engines to index the content. -
Canonical Tags: Verify that canonical tags are used correctly to specify the preferred version of a page if you have duplicate content.
-
Sitemap: Submit an XML sitemap to Google Search Console. This helps Google discover and index your pages more efficiently.
-
Crawl Errors: Check Google Search Console for crawl errors. Resolve any issues reported, such as broken links or server errors.
-
Page Quality: Google tends to prioritize high-quality content. Ensure your content is relevant, original, and provides value to users.
-
Website Speed: Page loading speed can impact indexing. Optimize your website's performance for faster loading times.
-
Mobile Friendliness: Google gives preference to mobile-friendly websites. Ensure your site is responsive and functions well on mobile devices.
-
Fetch as Google: Use the "Fetch as Google" feature in Google Search Console to request indexing for specific pages.
-
Manual Actions: Check Google Search Console for any manual actions against your site. Address and resolve any issues specified in the manual actions report.
Remember that Google's indexing process may take some time. If you've addressed the above issues and still experience problems, it's advisable to monitor Google Search Console for any additional messages or errors related to indexing. If the problem persists, seeking advice from webmaster forums or consulting with SEO professionals may be beneficial.

Is there anyone who can take a look and find the issues why google is not indexing my articles? I will be waiting for your replyIt appears that your informative articles on 'www.nextheadphone.com', such as those about noise-canceling headphones, aren't being indexed by Google, and you're seeking insights into why this might be happening. To address this:
Check Google Search Console: Ensure your site is registered and verified with Google Search Console. Look for any crawl errors or manual actions.
Content Quality and Originality: Evaluate if your content is unique, high-quality, and provides value to readers. Duplicate or low-quality content is often not indexed.
SEO Optimization: Review your SEO practices, including keywords, meta tags, and descriptions, to ensure they align with best practices.
Sitemap and Robots.txt: Ensure your sitemap is submitted to Google and your robots.txt file isn’t blocking these pages.
If you're still unsure, consider reaching out to an SEO professional or a digital marketing forum for a more in-depth analysis.

Sure, I'll be happy to help. I took a quick look at your articles, and it seems like your website is relatively new. Google might take some time to index new sites and their content, especially informative articles.
To improve your chances of getting indexed, make sure your site is properly configured for search engines. Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console, and focus on creating high-quality, original content. It's also essential to build some backlinks to your site from reputable sources.

To hyphenate or not to hyphenate?
Quick question: does Google differentiate between terms that correctly include a hyphen (such as "royalty-free") and those that are incorrect ("royalty free")? I ask because the correct term "royalty-free"(with a hyphen) receives far less monthly traffic for the same term without the hyphen (according to Moz): Term | Estimated traffic
On-Page Optimization | | JCN-SBWD
"royalty free music" | 11.5-30.3K
"royalty-free music" | 501-850 If Moz views the terms separately then I'd guess that Google does too, in which case the best thing to do for SEO (and increased site traffic) would be to wrongly use "royalty free" without the hyphen. Is that correct?0 -
Google Not Indexing Pages (Wordpress)
Hello, recently I started noticing that google is not indexing our new pages or our new blog posts. We are simply getting a "Discovered - Currently Not Indexed" message on all new pages. When I click "Request Indexing" is takes a few days, but eventually it does get indexed and is on Google. This is very strange, as our website has been around since the late 90's and the quality of the new content is neither duplicate nor "low quality". We started noticing this happening around February. We also do not have many pages - maybe 500 maximum? I have looked at all the obvious answers (allowing for indexing, etc.), but just can't seem to pinpoint a reason why. Has anyone had this happen recently? It is getting very annoying having to manually go in and request indexing for every page and makes me think there may be some underlying issues with the website that should be fixed.

Can't get Google to index our site although all seems very good
Hi there, I am having issues getting our new site, https://vintners.co indexed by Google although it seems all technical and content requirements are well in place for it. In the past, I had way poorer websites running with very bad setups and performance indexed faster. What's concerning me, among others, is that the crawler of Google comes from time to time when looking on Google Search Console but does not seem to make progress or to even follow any link and the evolution does not seem to do what google says in GSC help. For instance, our sitemap.xml was submitted, for a few days, it seemed like it had an impact as many pages were then visible in the coverage report, showing them as "detected but not yet indexed" and now, they disappeared from the coverage report, it's like if it was not detected any more. Anybody has any advice to speed up or accelerate the indexing of a new website like ours? It's been launched since now almost two months and I was expected, at least on some core keywords, to quickly get indexed.

Have i got my google adsense in the right place
Hi, i am working with a new site which is in wordpress and i am just wondering if i have the google adsense in the right place. I want great user experience but i also want maximum exposure to earn money to pay for the site. I must say i have no experience with google adsense, have used it for a couple of years but never sure where the right places are to put it. here is the page and i would be grateful for your thoughts. i was thinking of moving the top google adsense above the title and replace it with a 300 by 250 box in the middle of the content and either keeping the bottom or moving that to the side. any advice would be great. http://www.cheapflightsgatwick.com/rome-the-ideal-location-for-a-wedding-abroad/

Same content on site blog as a separate blog. Will unpublishing on one blog evade duplicate content issues?
I just discovered my client was posting the same content as the site I'm working on for him on a separate blog. I don't want to run into duplicate content issues. Both are Wordpress sites. Will it suffice to simply unpublish duplicate entries on the other blog and leave the posts as drafts?

Blog Posts Not Getting Indexed by SERP's
Our blog posts are typically indexed rather quickly, sometimes within 10 minutes or so. Lately it seems like it is taking much longer, and a post from yesterday afternoon isn't appearing in any of the search engines. Can anyone give me an idea why this may be happening? http://www.360dwellings.com/2011-denver-parade-of-homes-luxury-home-tour/
