Google not crawling the website from 22nd October
-
Hi, This is Suresh. I made changes to my website and I see that google is unable to crawl my website from 22nd October. Even it is not showing any content when I use Cache:www.vonexpy.com. Can any body help me in knowing why Google is unable to crawl my website. Is there any technical issue with the website? Website is www.vonexpy.com
Thanks in advance.

Looks like its not just us - this is starting to get more attention https://www.seroundtable.com/google-cache-dated-19497.html

Our home page was cached today, but many of the pages on our site haven't been indexed since late October. It looks like this is a widespread issue.
-
I can see 90% of the pages I look at havent been cached since 22nd Oct, and I mean pages picked at random from hotels.com, booking.com and other big sites - is there a wider google cache issue going on?
-
I understand but we are not talking about black hat seo, just to crawl a site that hasn´t be crawled since october. And we all already know that sometimes Google says half-truths. I was suggesting to do something knew to get different results that he already had. Anyway i appreciate your point of view.
-
Google the queries: black hat seo, link buying. Click the first 100 results for both + read the guide on SEO by Google and then you probably get the point ;-).

Why not Martijn? That tool has helped me several times not in the same case but for backlinks.

You are not being serious?

Thanks Martin,
I made some design changes to my website. When you check the cache you an see that the website content is not crawled as the website contains some java script links. I replaced them with text links. So now it should crawl and index the website even though there is no new content. As the old spider is unable to crawl the website because of the image based links. And also I submitted the sitemap to webmaster tools only after the design change. It just indexed all the 30 urls 2 days back.@ Hemani I already submitted to webmaster tools and used fetch as google on the site but still there is no crawling.

Hi Suresh,
It looks like there are no problems on the site itself that prevent Google from crawling it, so that's a good thing. As the sitemap only consists of 31 (different) URLs, chances are that Google found out that the pages aren't any different any time that they crawled the pages. If that is really the case then I wouldn't mind so much about Google not crawling the content every now and then.

This is a normal problem and I have accord this quite a few times on my blog. The best way to do that is to submit your sitemap in Google Webmaster tool and get social tweets and social likes on your website and you will see Google will start crawling your website in days!
Hope this helps!

GoogleBot still crawling HTTP/1.1 years after website moved to HTTP/2
Whole website moved to https://www. HTTP/2 version 3 years ago. When we review log files, it is clear that - for the home page - GoogleBot continues to only access via HTTP/1.1 protocol Robots file is correct (simply allowing all and referring to https://www. sitemap Sitemap is referencing https://www. pages including homepage Hosting provider has confirmed server is correctly configured to support HTTP/2 and provided evidence of accessing via HTTP/2 working 301 redirects set up for non-secure and non-www versions of website all to https://www. version Not using a CDN or proxy GSC reports home page as correctly indexed (with https://www. version canonicalised) but does still have the non-secure version of website as the referring page in the Discovery section. GSC also reports homepage as being crawled every day or so. Totally understand it can take time to update index, but we are at a complete loss to understand why GoogleBot continues to only go through HTTP/1.1 version not 2 Possibly related issue - and of course what is causing concern - is that new pages of site seem to index and perform well in SERP ... except home page. This never makes it to page 1 (other than for brand name) despite rating multiples higher in terms of content, speed etc than other pages which still get indexed in preference to home page. Any thoughts, further tests, ideas, direction or anything will be much appreciated!

How do we keep Google from treating us as if we are a recipe site rather than a product website?
We sell food products that, of course, can be used in recipes. As a convenience to our customer we have made a large database of recipes available. We have far more recipes than products. My concern is that Google may start viewing us as a recipe website rather than a food product website. My initial thought was to subdomain the recipes (recipe.domain.com) but that seems silly given that you aren't really leaving our website and the layout of the website doesn't change with the subdomain. Currently our URL structure is... domain.com/products/product-name.html domain.com/recipes/recipe-name.html We do rank well for our products in general searches but I want to be sure that our recipe setup isn't detrimental.

Does Google see the connection between our 2 websites?
We have a main website and we created a satellite site to support the original one with backlinks. Can I add both sites to the same Google Analytics profile? My programmer said that there is no reason to use a new GA profile for the satellite site, since Google will see the connection between the 2 websites via scripts, Google Plus buttons and other programmed solutions. So, is there a reason to use a new GA account for the satellite site (and later the new satellite sites) as well?

I disappeared from Google, but not Bing?
A few weeks ago the company I work for created a website called Nabceptraining.com in hopes to find clientele who are looking to become NABCEP Certified. So we installed WordPress and a nice looking theme that we edited, and we saw that without any real content on the page we were already rank 12 on Google! We never even submitted our site. So we decided to Search Engine Optimize our website to gain even better rankings. So on the first day we added an SEO Tool that would allow us to change the page titles and descriptions on our site, a Sitemap generation tool so we could submit the site to Google, Bing, and Yahoo. At the end of the day we submitted the site and was beginning to create our content. That next morning our ranking was gone and we were not to be found on Google, but we were rank 3 on Bing!? What happened? Why did we disappear? We didn't receive any messages from Google on the webmaster tools saying we were blacklisted. Does anyone have an idea?

Pages to be indexed in Google
Hi, We have 70K posts in our site but Google has scanned 500K pages and these extra pages are category pages or User profile pages. Each category has a page and each user has a page. When we have 90K users so Google has indexed 90K pages of users alone. My question is. Should we leave it as they are or should we block them from being indexed? As we get unwanted landings to the pages and huge bounce rate. If we need to remove what needs to be done? Robots block or Noindex/Nofollow Regards

Websites that scroll....forever....
I'm seeing more and more websites that have all their content on one page. I came across www.otbthink.com today and am wondering if I'm missing something here. I ask this because I am trying to figure out how to link to their copy writing portion of their website. I have a client that is in their area and needs someone to do some copy writing work for them. All the content there is being served through css. The search engines will see it but how do you optimize for this sort of site? How do you link to a particular section of this site? Am I missing something obvious here? Thanks.
