Getting Recrawled by Google
-
I have been updating my site a lot and some of the updates are showing up in Google and some are not. Is there a best practice in getting your site fully recrawled by Google?

If your site does not get crawl completely, i will recommend
a) To create a site-map, so that search engines can understand the site hierarchy and can deep crawl the site
b) Look at your site structure, Make your site more organized so as to have better crawl. It should not happen that a user needs to visit - home page > category page > sub category page > article or below to read the article. At best, article snippet should come on home page for a day. If not, should be accessible from home page > category page > article
c) Submit the article posted to Social Media - Reddit, Pinterest, Twitter etc. It will help search engines discover your link faster
By sure - will improve the crawl mechanism to your site

Hi,
Yes here is a link to some good info & tips
http://www.distilled.net/blog/seo/advanced-seo-troubleshooting-why-isnt-this-page-indexed/
Absolutely. Make sure you have a fast hosting company hosting your website.
Make sure there's no flash, Ajax, or JavaScript obscuring your site from Google bot
Make sure your robots.txt file is not no following or no indexing any thing that you want to be found by Google
Same goes for your tags
- noindex X-Robots-Tag in HTTP header (X-Robots-Tag: noindex)
- Incorrect mime type declared in HTTP header. For example, for an HTML document, if it was declared as Content-Type: text/javascript
You can use Google Webmaster tools and the selection fetches Google bot and submit all URLs to index if you want to make sure it is being indexed in Google knows that you want the site indexed.
I hope I've been out sincerely,
Thomas

How to avoid automated queries to Google
We have a search engine marketing team working on different projects and we share same IP. We check our rankings manually on Google, is it sending automated queries to Google? Can it affect our sites? What solution do you suggest to check rankings without sending multiple queries to Google?

Does Google Bot accept Cookies
I am working with a per page results refinement that stores a cookie on the users computer and then keeps that same per page as the user goes around the site. I was just wondering if that was true for Google bot or Bing bot as well. Will they keep the cookie or would they not be able to accept it. I just want to know as I dont want different urls created if they can keep the cookie. Thanks!

Unexplained spikes in Google Analytics
My site has modest traffic (50 unique visitors per day). In the past week, I've seen two unexplained spikes in my Google Analytics. Yesterday, there were 140 unique visitors, and these unique visitors each visited one unique page. This appears to be a bot of some sort. If this is a bot, why does Google Analytics think these are unique visitors? Is there a was for small sites to deal with this? Best,

Should I delete Google Places and start over?
My Google Places page is stagnant. It never changes its rank, doesn't find corresponding reviews on directory sites, disappears altogether after a few days for certain keywords and ranks poorly overall. We have had a horrible time getting our web presence to be uniform...name, address, phone, etc. Our business was previously a different name so all those listings were still active, we have had different doctors over the years...those were associated with the business name in different listings, we used a referral service that sponsored listings using a diffferent phone number, change web url in the past year so some sites indicated the wrong address. HUGE HEADACHE Are there any positives/negatives to deleting the Places page and starting over? Here is the page: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&georestrict=input_srcid%3Ab1706925095a8afa Thank you for your help!

How do I get Google to display categories instead of the URL in results?
I've seen that for some domains Google will show a nice clickable site heirarchy in place of the actual URL of a search result. See attached for an example. How do I go about achieving this type of results? categorized.png
