Can anyone tell me why the bot has only picked up one page?

www.namebadgesinternational.co.nz
After the 2nd week, I changed the robots.txt file to allow ALL robots on the website, but it still hasn't gone through any pages after another crawl
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Hi again,
Since there are a lot of directives in this that are specific to certain conditions in your site that we cannot see, you should leave them alone.
Your redirect should appear at the beginning of the .htaccess anyway, so your best course of action is:
- Make a copy of your existing .htaccess file with a different name so that you cannot accidentally lose it by overwriting
- Place your redirect code at the beginning of the .htaccess (remembering that "RewriteEngine On" should appear only once)
- Save and upload your new .htaccess file
- Check in your browser to see if the redirect works (as many known pages as possible)
- If it works, CELEBRATE!
- It it breaks, replace your file with your copy of the original and ask the original developer, or one with access to the detail of your site to sort it out for you.
Incidentally, the rule you have above will redirect from www to non-www...just to be sure that is what you intended.
Hope that helps,
Sha

This post by the help desk about why a full crawl isn't being done may also be helpful.

Hi designsecrets,
I'm assuming that you are referring to the SEOmoz bot (Roger) and seeing only one page of your site crawled.
If this is correct, then there has been a similar known issue in the past.
You will need to go to SEOmoz Help and ask the Help Team to look at the campaign and sort out the problem for you. Make sure that you provide them with your campaign number and/or domain to make it easy for them to locate the problem.
You can also access the Help area by clicking the Help link at the top right of any page on the site.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Hi,
A quick search on Google for site:namebadgesinternational.co.nz shows other pages are being indexed.
I can see a few other issues too, for instance the canonicalization of your domain and homepage, your homepage can be accessed via www, non-www, index.php and though root /
It may be a good idea to log into your Google Webmaster tools account (assuming you have one) and check Diagnostics for crawl errors and similar.
Also our robots blocks /cgi-bin but leaves 404 and login pages open to indexation (i would personally block these as i don't want my visitors landing on them).
Check out http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/canonicalization for more info on canonicals.
best of luck...

Pricing value pages
We have the main pricing page here: https://www.eginnovations.com/product/pricing Then depending on what you click, you'll be taken to the appropriate form on one of these pages: https://www.eginnovations.com/product/request-quote?pricetype=audit https://www.eginnovations.com/product/request-quote?pricetype=saas https://www.eginnovations.com/product/request-quote?pricetype=perpetual https://www.eginnovations.com/product/request-quote?pricetype=subscription How should I handle these? Noindex, follow? Set a canonical? I keep getting notifications that these are duplicate content, but it's just a way to keep the form fills organized. Thanks for your help!

Many Pages Being Combined Into One Long Page
Hi All, In talking with my internal developers, UX, and design team there has been a big push to move from a "tabbed" page structure (where as each tab is it's own page) to combining everything into one long page. It looks great from a user experience standpoint, but I'm concerned that we'll decrease in rankings for the tabbed pages that will be going away, even with a 301 in place. I initially recommending#! or pushstate for each "page section" on the long form content. However there are technical limitations with this in our CMS. The next idea I had was to still leave those pages out there and to link to them in the source code, but this approach may get shot down as well. Has anyone else had to solve for this issue? If so, how did you do it?

Container Page/Content Page Duplicate Content
My client has a container page on their website, they are using SiteFinity, so it is called a "group page", in which individual pages appear and can be scrolled through. When link are followed, they first lead to the group page URL, in which the first content page is shown. However, when navigating through the content pages, the URL changes. When navigating BACK to the first content page, the URL is that for the content page, but it appears to indexers as a duplicate of the group page, that is, the URL that appeared when first linking to the group page. The client updates this on the regular, so I need to find a solution that will allow them to add more pages, the new one always becoming the top page, without requiring extra coding. For instance, I had considered integrating REL=NEXT and REL=PREV, but they aren't going to keep that up to date.

Why did google pick this page to rank over another one?
I recently started working here and I have noticed that google is ranking some pages over other for the main key word. Example: We are ranking on page one for ATV tires for this url http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/t/43/81/165/723/ATV-Tires-All I thought google would pick http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/c/43/81/165/ATV-Tires since it is higher up in the folders. I Have a couple reasons why the are picking the other one. Mostly from link signals from one other site and footer link.. Any other thoughts. If we want google to rank the second url instead what would you suggest?

Duplicate Page Titles
I had an issue where I was getting duplicate page titles for my index file. The following URLs were being viewed as duplicates: www.calusacrossinganimalhospital.com www.calusacrossinganimalhospital.com/index.html www.calusacrossinganimalhospital.com/ I tried many solutions, and came across the rel="canonical". So i placed the the following in my index.html: I did a crawl, and it seemed to correct the duplicate content. Now I have a new message, and just want to verify if this is bad for search engines, or if it is normal. Please view the attached image. i9G89.png

If multiple links on a page point to the same URL, and one of them is no-followed, does that impact the one that isn't?
Page A has two links on it that both point to Page B. Link 1 isn't no-follow, but Link 2 is. Will Page A pass any juice to Page B?
