Why just 1 Page has been crawled till date?
-
We have started SEO for our nestle-family.com/english/ site.
However, till date only just 1 page has been crawled. What are the reason for the pages not being crawled?

Hi Francis,
I hope you've had more than one page crawled by now. If not, check out the help desk article about what to do if only one page is being crawled. http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/409821-why-isn-t-my-site-being-crawled-you-only-crawled-one-page.
If that doesn't fix things, it's time to email the help desk at help@seomoz.org.

Francis,
The SEOMoz crawler which is indexing your site operates differently than that of what Google, Yahoo and Bing's. Though the SEOMoz tools are extremely useful, you may find more comprehensive results in your Google Webmaster Tools account. To see how many pages google is including from your site, I highly recommend submitting an XML sitemap to Google, Yahoo and Bing. Then, once they have it, you'll be able to see, withing the sitemap area(s) how many pages the engines are including in their index.
This doesn't give you any meaningful data in regards to rankings though. For that, you can use either the SEOMoz ranking check tool and Your site on the area within Google Webmaster tools (left side) that is nested in the following links.
Your site on the web> Search queries
Note that my suggestion of uploading a sitemap is purely based on seeing how many pages are indexed and doesn't consider any SEO strategies such as letting google find you on their own. Which may be better depending on who you ask! For me, I'd upload the sitemap because your incoming links and social media marketing should theoretically have the same effect on your rankings as it would with or without an XML sitemap.

Thanks Randy. I see the results as 9 for the domain. However, I had entered this URL in SEO Moz, to track and evaluate the performance. But, here it shows that just 1 page is crawled till date. Why would this be the case?

I'm getting 9 results for the domain! Try this in your Google search box to see. If you do not get the same results, you might be and probably are in a different location than me. When you use the below query (And anytime you're spot checking rankings) sign out of accounts associated with the engine you're checking. Also, the below query is for google.

Google Crawling Issues! How Can I Get Google to Crawl My Website Regularly?
Hi Everyone! My website is not being crawled regularly by Google - there are weeks when it's regular but for the past month or so it does not get crawled for seven to eight days. There are some specific pages, that I want to get ranked but they of late are not being crawled AT ALL unless I use the 'Fetch As Google' tool! That's not normal, right? I have checked and re-checked the on-page metrics for these pages (and the website as a whole, backlinking is a regular and ongoing process as well! Sitemap is in place too! Resubmitted it once too! This issue is detrimental to website traffic and rankings! Would really appreciate insights from you guys! Thanks a lot!

Contact Page
I'm currently designing a new website for my wife, who just started her own wedding/engagement photography business. I'm trying to build it as SEO friendly as possible, but she brought up an idea that she likes that I've never tried before. Typically on all the websites I've ever built, I've had a dedicated contact page that has the typical contact form. Because that contact form on a wedding photographers website is almost as important as selling a product on an e-commerce site, she brought up the possibility of putting the contact form in the footer site-wide (minus maybe the homepage) rather than having a dedicated contact page. And in the navigation, where you have links such as "Home", "Portfolio", "About", "Prices", "Contact", etc. the "Contact" navigation item would transfer the user to the bottom of the page they are on rather than a new page. Any thoughts on which way would be better for a case like this, and any positives/negatives for doing it each way? One thought I had is that if it's in the footer rather than it's own page, it would lose it's search-ability as it's technically duplicate content on each page. But then again, that's what a footer is. Thanks, Mickey

If my home page never shows up in SERPS but other pages do, does that mean Google is penalizing me?
So my website I do local SEO for, xyz.com is finally getting better on some keywords (Thanks SEOMOZ) But only pages that are like this xyz.com/better_widgets_ or xyz.com/mousetrap_removals Is Google penalizing me possibly for some duplicate content websites I have out there (working on, I know I know it is bad)...

According to 1 of my PRO campaigns - I have 250+ pages with Duplicate Content - Could my empty 'tag' pages be to blame?
Like I said, my one of my moz reports is showing 250+ pages with duplicate content. should I just delete the tag pages? Is that worth my time? how do I alert SEOmoz that the changes have been made, so that they show up in my next report?

Discrepency between # of pages and # of pages indexed
Here is some background: The site in question has approximately 10,000 pages and Google Webmaster shows that 10,000 urls(pages were submitted) 2) Only 5,500 pages appear in the Google index 3) Webmaster shows that approximately 200 pages could not be crawled for various reasons 4) SEOMOZ shows about 1,000 pages that have long URL's or Page Titles (which we are correcting) 5) No other errors are being reported in either Webmaster or SEO MOZ 6) This is a new site launched six weeks ago. Within two weeks of launching, Google had indexed all 10,000 pages and showed 9,800 in the index but over the last few weeks, the number of pages in the index kept dropping until it reached 5,500 where it has been stable for two weeks. Any ideas of what the issue might be? Also, is there a way to download all of the pages that are being included in that index as this might help troubleshoot?
