It looks like Googlebot has timed out, at least once, for one of our URLs. Why is Googlebot timing out? My server is located at Amazon WS, in North Carolina and it is a small instance. Could Google be querying multiple URLs at the same time and jamming my servers? Could it be becauseThanks for your help!

okay I was able to pull your site code so you know it works on the newest version of Web Kit which is based on Safari only for me.
You have some large coding issues that are most likely preventing you from being indexed properly.
Your page structure is not allowing Google to read anything. Google can only read 16 words from your home page this is making Google bot think there is nothing there and is not a useful webpage. You also still have an issue with the forwarding to a
#welcome
the two links below will show you what Google bot is able to see when indexing your website.
http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/spider/test.php
http://totheweb.com/tools/spider-test/index.php
this shows the problem get your header and your structure theirs a lot of junk and no real words for anyone to read.
you can also use
http://pro.moz.com/tools/crawl-test
to check your site through Moz another superb tool to use is screaming frog

the reason I believe this is happening is you are using Ajax preventing Google from reading your site correctly. Here is a link talking about how you can fix this. The reason I believe this is because of the hash tag
"AJAX URLs, that is, URLs containing a hash fragment, for example www.example.com/index.html#key=value, where #key=value is the hash fragment."

you may want to consider using a boilerplate I would build the site out of wordpress as its architecture is superb and you would not have these issues.

I would use this gentleman he is very knowledgeable and a master of HTML 5
here are some suggestions on HTML improvements as far as HTML improvements go you are using HTML 5

this is a useful tool if you are doing your own developing or checking your website.

I would personally use a developer to fix this.

Your website is currently not showing up properly in my browser. I have used chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Currently your site shows 14 indexed pages in Google
site:www.memovalley.com
can you tell me when website was created?
Was there a recent change because for some reason your website is redirecting to
did you add a tracking system that is adding this to your links?
site:www.memovalley.com/#!welcome
the other odd thing is your blog http://blog.memovalley.com/ showing a favicon for Wordpress.com meaning it is hosted there on WordPress.com not with a true separate hosting companies like you said you were using Amazon
I have to be able to see your site code in order to tell you why Google bot is timing out on me run some quick tests with other tools and I will post very quickly

Google is not indexing my new URL structure. Why not?
Hi all, We launched a new website for a customer on April 29th. That same day we resubmitted the new sitemap & asked Google to fetch the new website. Screenshot is attached of this (GWT Indexed). However, when I look at Google Index (see attachment - Google Index), Automated Production's old website URL's still appear. It's been two weeks. Is it normal for Google's index to take this long to update? Thanks for your help. Cole VoLPjhy vfxVUsO

Site redesign. Possible SEO problems?
Hi! Our website has enjoyed good rankings for lots of our keywords for the past 9years. Over the years the site became heavy, so we want to change the design radically. Content, filenames, titles, urls etc. will all remain identical just the change of a template. The new one is minimalistic and responsive design. We are worrying this may drop our domain or page authority and kill all our past SEO efforts. **How to do this with the least harm to our rankings? Anything we need to avoid?**Articles/advice/suggestions comments on design and SEO would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help! Alina

Spider Indexed Disallowed URLs
Hi there, In order to reduce the huge amount of duplicate content and titles for a cliënt, we have disallowed all spiders for some areas of the site in August via the robots.txt-file. This was followed by a huge decrease in errors in our SEOmoz crawl report, which, of course, made us satisfied. In the meanwhile, we haven't changed anything in the back-end, robots.txt-file, FTP, website or anything. But our crawl report came in this November and all of a sudden all the errors where back. We've checked the errors and noticed URLs that are definitly disallowed. The disallowment of these URLs is also verified by our Google Webmaster Tools, other robots.txt-checkers and when we search for a disallowed URL in Google, it says that it's blocked for spiders. Where did these errors came from? Was it the SEOmoz spider that broke our disallowment or something? You can see the drop and the increase in errors in the attached image. Thanks in advance. [

Page not being indexed
Hi all, On our site we have a lot of bookmaker reviews, and we are ranking pretty good for most bookmaker names as keywords, however a single bookmaker seems to have been shunned by Google. For a search "betsafe" in Denmark, this page does not appear among the top 50: http://www.betxpert.com/bookmakere/betsafe All of our other review pages rank in top 10-20 for the bookmaker name as keyword. What to do if Google has "banned" a page? Best regards, Rasmus

Help removing duplicate content from the index?
Last week, after a significant drop in traffic, I noticed a subdomain in the index with duplicate content. The main site and subdomain can be found below. http://mobile17.com http://232315.mobile17.com/ I've 301'd everything on the subdomain to the appropriate location on the main site. Problem is, site: searches show me that if the subdomain content is being deindexed, it's happening really slowly. Traffic is still down about 50% in the last week or so... what's the best way to tackle this issue moving forward?

Wordpress Problems.. SEO-Yoast is Toast?
Hello; I have installed the WP Yoast Widget in my Blog, and 2 weeks, after my issues went away, they came back X's 300! lol So I uninstalled it, and my issues obviously got worse, and then I re-activated, and reset everything, and still got the 300+ issues. Is there a secondary plug in you would suggest, to run at the same time as Yoats, or theat will fix all issues? Ever think of making an SEOmoz Widget for WP since it is gaining so much popularity?? Thank you Great work by the way! Loved the Webinar today!

Meta data in includes: not ideal or a problem?
I have pages with meta data being pulled in via an include. This was to prevent people from touching the pages themselves. Is this an optimization issue- or is it OK to do?
