Pages un-indexed in my site
-
My current website www.energyacuity.com has had most pages indexed for more than a year. However, I tried cache a few of the pages, and it looks the only one that is now indexed by Goggle is the homepage. Any thoughts on why this is happening?
-
Yeh, that would do it if all the pages had tags saying the homepage was the canonical url!
Apparently I either didn't notice them, or you had already deleted them when I looked at your page.
-
Thanks Tyler, you helped me figure it out...I had canonical tags on all the pages!! I just deleted them and republished so I'm hoping that will solve the issue. Thank you for your help!

This is also a bad url format: http://www.energyacuity.com/Newsletter/Report.aspx?id=f974a1bf8f4b490a918c58c59750aa49&cid=ade05d15b4334aa9a6aa8974f6058e7f
They are dynamic and I have had a bunch of caching issues with this kind of url: http://www.seomoz.org/q/never-crawled
Although google says that dynamic urls are okay: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls-the-best-practice-for-seo-is-still-clear
There's still huge issues with them.
-
OK, here is what I see:
-
You don't have a robots.txt file, so it's not that
-
As Tyler mentioned, you have quite a few pages indexed: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aenergyacuity.com&num=100 although most seem to be in the Newsletter subdirectory. THe main pages of your site don't appear to be indexed.
-
I checked several pages of your site and found no meta tags that could be causing the issue.
-
Your links are not nofollow, so it's not that.
One possibility is that Google just hasn't gotten around to indexing the pages yet, perhaps because of your site's low backlinks/PageRank. Are you sure your entire site used to be indexed but no longer is?
-
-
Check your robots.txt file to make sure you didn't disallow anything.
Check to make sure you didn't put a canonical tag on all your pages to point to your homepage.
I looked at your cache and you have 41 pages: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.energyacuity.com%2F&pws=0&hl=en&num=10

Keyword On Page 1 Everywhere but Google (Site Specific)
Website: www.wheelchairparts.com
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Mike.Bean
Keyword: wheelchair parts My website is #1 or #2 on almost every search engine besides Google. Google has us bouncing between the bottom of page 2 and top of 3. However we are on page one for "wheelchairparts". I need to get a link building campaign going for this site. I feel it's more difficult for ecommerce websites and nothing seems to fit in with Rand's Mozcon 2016 Link Building talk except hacks. I need to find a flywheel. Either way, my question is what can I do other than link building to get on page 1 of Google for the term "wheelchair parts"? Thanks in advance! - Mike Bean1 -

Pages are Indexed but not Cached by Google. Why?
Here's an example: I get a 404 error for this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all But a search for qjamba restaurant coupons gives a clear result as does this: site:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all What is going on? How can this page be indexed but not in the Google cache? I should make clear that the page is not showing up with any kind of error in webmaster tools, and Google has been crawling pages just fine. This particular page was fetched by Google yesterday with no problems, and even crawled again twice today by Google Yet, no cache.

Ecommerce Site homepage , Is it okay to have Links as H2 Tags as that is relevant to the page ?
Hi All, I have a Rental site and I am bit confused with how best do my H Tags on my homepage I know the H1 is the most important, Then H2 Tags and so on.. and that these tags should really be titles for content. However, I have a few categories (links) on my homepage so I am wondering if I could put these as H2 Tags given that it is relevant to the page . H3 Tags will my News and Guides etc , H4 Tags will the whats on the footer. I am attached a made up screenshot of what I propose for my homepage if someone could please give it a quick look , it would be very much appreciated. I have looked at what some competitors do a lot of them don't seem to have h2's etc but I know it's an important factor for rankings etc. Many thanks Pete dJSFQwI

Can Keyword-Stuffing on a Single Page Penalize My Entire Site?
Hi forum! I want to improve my internal linking through adding keyword-rich anchor text to my search results pages (my site has an internal search engine for products). For example, if I were a shoes store, my product search engine results are currently:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Travis-W
-Running
-Hiking
-Walking
-Track and I want to make them actual keyword-terms by changing them to:
-Running Shoes
-Hiking Shoes
-Walking Shoes
-Track Shoes This creates a problem - the keyword "shoes" is stuffed on the page. I don't care how well these dynamic search results pages appear in search, only the actual product pages. Is it okay to keyword stuff on these pages, or would it penalize my entire site?0 -

Best practice to change the URL of all my site pages
Hi, I need to change all my site pages URL as a result of moving the site into another CMS platform that has its own URL structure: Currently the site is highly ranked for all relevant KWs I am targeting. All pages have backlinks Content and meta data should remain exactly the same. The domain should stay the same The plan is as follow: Set up the new site using a temporary domain name Copy over all content and meta data Set up all redirects (301) Update the domain name and point the live domain to the new one Watch closely for 404 errors and add any missing redirects Questions: Any comments on the plan? Is there a way (the above plan or any other) to make sure ranking will not be hurt What entries should I add to the sitemap.xml: new pages only or new pages and the pages from the old site? Thanks, Guy.
