    hi

    i have rockshore.uk.com which is not indexing properly.

    the internal pages do not show up for the text they have on them, or the title tags.

    the site is on aekmps shops platform.

    I understand that a .uk.com is not a proper TLD but i think i have a subdomain of .uk.com

    Can anyone help?

    thanks

        I have no concerns with your having 149 links on a page. If you wish your pages to be listed, they need to be viewed as unique pages. To make that determination Google can view the entire page as a whole.

        One suggestion is to create a blank page with your normal sidebars, header and footer. Look at your SEOmoz Analysis tool Page Elements tab. Determine how much HTML text is present. Now go back to your page and see how much your page content has grown.

        There are no magic numbers to shoot for, but you should be conscious of your results. At the moment I see minimal content which is a concern. I also see that minimal content buried in a large amount of other text from your sidebars/header/footer which is duplicated throughout your site.

        I checked Google.uk for "Car Air Freshner" which seems to be the keyword focus of your page. I didn't see your listing in the top 50 results. My suggestions would be:

        • change your title to just "Car Air Freshner" or "Car Air Freshner | Rockshore"

        • if you can, try to use friendly URLs.

        • find a way to add quality content to your page.

          We have 149 internal links, which could be said to be a lot, but compared to many sites this is not a huge amount more.

          So if i put say 300-400 words of unique content on this page that woudl drop that % and threefore woudl solve the problem? what % should i aim for?

          Many E commerce sites dont have that amount of unique content on each page?

            If you enter that page into Google, it appears. That page is indexed in Google. It may not rank as well as you like, but it is indexed.

            http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=gsih&xhr=t&q=http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp&cp=52&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=&source=hp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=27b93cf21cbb40b9&biw=1600&bih=733

            Taking a closer look at the page, it is clear why it will not rank well. There is very little unique content. Your sidebars are full of links and content which are consistent throughout your site. If you count the number of words in your sidebars, header and footer, then add to it the unique content you will find that ?85% of your content is duplicated with a small amount of unique content in between. These are not quality pages.

              HI

              the domain is rockshore.uk.com

              take a page

              http://www.rockshore.uk.com/air-fresheners-201-c.asp

              it is not coming up for the text ot the page, or the title tag.

              This is the case for most internal pages.

              i got told rockshore.uk.com is a subdomain of uk.com, and this might have something to do with the issues.

              The site ranks well in Bing and Yahoo

                It definitely wouldn't be the fact that it's a .uk.com that's causing the problem. No-one would ever use any other TLD's if it was only a few that got indexed.

                  What do you mean "uk.com" is not a proper TLD? There is nothing wrong with it. Your TLD does not affect your site being indexed.

                  Can you offer more specifics on the problem? Take one page and explain, in detail, how the search results are not matching your expectations.

                  Please provide the URL and the term you are searching for, along with the search engine used (i..e Bing? Google UK? etc)

                    Indexing Issue of Dynamic Pages

                    Hi All, I have a query for which i am struggling to find out the answer. I unable to retrieve URL using "site:" query on Google SERP. However, when i enter the direct URL or with "info:" query then a snippet appears. I am not able to understand why google is not showing URL with "site:" query. Whether the page is indexed or not? Or it's soon going to be deindexed. Secondly, I would like to mention that this is a dynamic URL. The index file which we are using to generate this URL is not available to Google Bot. For instance, There are two different URL's. http://www.abc.com/browse/ --- It's a parent page.
                    http://www.abc.com/browse/?q=123 --- This is the URL, generated at run time using browse index file. Google unable to crawl index file of browse page  as it is unable to run independently until some value will get passed in the parameter and is not indexed by Google. Earlier the dynamic URL's were indexed and was showing up in Google for "site:" query but now it is not showing up. Can anyone help me what is happening here? Please advise. Thanks

                    Redirect typo domains

                    Hi, What's the "correct" way of redirecting typo domains? DNS A record goes to the same ip address as the correct domain name Then 301 redirects for each typo domain in the .htaccess Subdomains on typo urls still redirect to www or should they redirect to the subdomain on the correct url in case the subdomain exists?

                    Links from Instructables.com?

                    This is a silly newbie question.  But will posting on www.instructables.com with some valuable content and url link back to my site help with "linking"? Or do they put a no-follow on all links on their site? Thanks for answering! Ron

                    Transfer a Main Domain to a Sub-Domain

                    My IT department tells me they want to transfer my main site domain, which has been in existence since 1999 as an e-commerce site (maindomain.com) to a sub-domain (www2.maindomain.com) or a completely new domain (newdomain.net). This is because we are launching a new website and B2C e-commerce engine, but we still have to maintain the legacy B2B e-commerce engine which contains hard-coded URLs, and both systems can't use the same domain. I've been researching the issue across SEOmoz, but I haven't come across this exact type of scenario (mostly I've seen a sub-domain to new domain). I see major problems with their proposal, including negative SEO impact, loss of domain authority/ranking and issues with branding. Does anyone know the exact type of impact I can expect to see in this scenario and specific steps I should go about to minimize the impact? Btw, I will be using Danny Dover's guide on properly moving domains where appropriate. Thanks!

                    Checkout on different domain

                    Is it a bad SEO move to have a your checkout process on a separate domain instead of the main domain for a ecommerce site. There is no real content on the checkout pages and they are completely new pages that are not indexed in the search engines. Do to the backend architecture it is impossibe for us to have them on the same domain. An example is this page: http://www.printingforless.com/2/Brochure-Printing.html One option we've discussed to not pass page rank on to the checkout domain by iFraming all of the links to the checkout domain. We could also move the checkout process to a subdomain instead of a new domain. Please ignore the concerns with visitors security and conversion rate.  Thanks!

                    Do Domain Extensions such as .com or .net affect SEO value?

                    In the beginning of SEO days, it was going around that .com is the best for SEO and that .net is not as good. Is there any truth to this, and what about .org or .edu? I always hear that .edu sites have high PR. Is there any rhyme or reason to this, or all they all equal? Thank you, Afshin Christian-Way.com

                    UK website ranking higher in Google.com than Google.co.uk

                    Hi, I have a UK website which was formerly ranked 1<sup>st</sup> in Google.co.uk and .com for my keyword phrase and has recently slipped to 6<sup>th</sup> in .co.uk but is higher in position 4 in Google.com. I have conducted a little research and can’t say for certain but I wonder if it is possible that too many of my backlinks are US based and therefore Google thinks my website is also US based. Checked Google WmT and we the geo-targeted to the UK. Our server is also UK based. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks
