Google omitting some entries
-
Hi,
I used this tool to test some domains. The tool can be found at
http://www.virante.com/seo-tools/duplicate-content
I have no questions about the other checks but with the similarity check.
My question is how do i get Google not to omit some entries very similar to the top 1000 pages on my site?
Will appreciate your answers, thanks.

I am trying to be helpful here. Your original question did not mention anything related to optimizing content. It sounds a whole lot more like you want to manipulate search engines into indexing your duplicate content. I've re-read your question a couple times and that is the only way I am able to interpret your question.
There is not a hard rule in that regard. Google will examine the percentage of duplicate content. They will understand rewording of the same content and view it as a duplication. You need to make the second page truly unique. The best suggestion I can offer is ask a second person to write a page on the same topic without allowing them to see the first page.
You can ask 5 people to write an article on the "Ford Mustang" and you can receive 5 completely different, unique articles. One could focus on resale value, another on the history of the mustang, another on racing, etc.
If you ask one person to reword the same article so it can be indexed a second time, you wont be happy with the results. Even if you do manage to get it indexed, you are one Panda update away from posting the famous "why did my rankings drop" question.

Thank you for your contribution Ryan
I am quite aware of writing for readers and always putting them first in everything beside that's what the search engines are interested in isn't in? I mean the readers finding quality relevant content through their engines.
What i am interesting after satisfying the first and primary part is optimizing the content for search engines, isn't that what SEO is all about? If most are providing quality content, all still have to compete for the limited top positions available isn't it?
Thank you for the feedback, will appreciate any other contribution.

You would need to change the content enough to where it was not seen as a duplication of the original information. You need to think of users and ask if they read the first article, what would make them want to read the second article?
If you are trying to reword the article for search engines, you are in the wrong mindset. Think of your readers.

Getting Google to index our sitemap
Hi, We have a sitemap on AWS that is retrievable via a url that looks like ours http://sitemap.shipindex.org/sitemap.xml. We have notified Google it exists and it found our 700k urls (we are a database of ship citations with unique urls). However, it will not index them. It has been weeks and nothing. The weird part is that it did do some of them before, it said so, about 26k. Then it said 0. Now that I have redone the sitemap, I can't get google to look at it and I have no idea why. This is really important to us, as we want not just general keywords to find our front page, but we also want specific ship names to show links to us in results. Does anyone have any clues as to how to get Google's attention and index our sitemap? Or even just crawl more of our site? It has done 35k pages crawling, but stopped.

Google Frequently Indexing - Good or Bad?
Hi, My website is only 4 months old and receives about 40 to 50 organic visits every day. It currently has about 100 pages out of which only 3-4 rank in the top 10 for the target KWs. I usually try to publish, at least 1 article a day but sometimes certain articles are more than 2000 words long with a few of infographics and hence takes way more time (maybe even 3 days to publish one) Only over the last week, I am observing that every time i am publishing a page (usually daily) google is indexing them the same day. This I have heard happens for moderately big sites but my site is really small at this stage. Note: For the first 80 pages, I used to "fetch as googlebot" in webmasters as otherwise my site would be crawled once in 2 weeks but over the last 3-4 weeks, i rely on googles scheduled visits. Is this a good or bad sign? I would like to assume its good because of my engagement. Though for only organic visits, my Gogle Analytics bounce rate is 65% in analytics out of the remaining 35%, the avg time on site >7 mins. That means if someone sticks to my site, they consume a lot of my content. Also, since analytics' bounce rate is not same as the search bounce (back button) I would like to consider that the bounce is actually lesser than that.

Website not coming up properly on Google
Hello, our website (http://www.roguevalleymicro.com/index.php) is not coming up properly on Google search (for example, when you search for Rogue Valley Microdevices on Google). We believe that there is something wrong with the website source code, and Google cannot index it properly. However, your Crawl Test results did not indicate any such problems. Can someone help us with some advice please?

Why google does not show my site on my branding keyword?
Hi, I am the site owner of http://www.lankahq.net. It is a youtube video hosted website. 95% of the video contents are daily telecasting TV shows and categorized to make easy to find the specific video of the day of preferred program of the viewer. About 1 year ago suddenly disappeared my site from the google. Before happened that it was performing very well in search. Google showed my site contents within few minutes after I update in their search results when someone search for that. At the moment it does not show even some one search for "lankahq". It showing only if search for "lankahq.net", "lankahq.com" or "www.lankahq.net" something like a search keyword related to my domain name. Some other websites have added my branding keyword LankaHQ as a user of their site and they showing on top of Google. But not mine. It is much appreciated if someone can have a look on this matter. I can not find where is the problem.
