Is there a way to index important pages manually or to make sure a certain page will get indexed in a short period of time??

Hi There!
The problem I'm having is that certain pages are waiting already three months to be indexed. They even have several backlinks. Is it normal to have to wait more than three months before these pages get an indexation? Is there anything i can do to make sure these page will get an indexation soon?
Greetings
Bob

Hi Jimmy,
It seems that the page is not indexed yet. I fetched the page again and this time it said succesful. Now the URL is tagged to index, so i will notice tomorrow if the page is getting indexed. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Bob,
Is the page currently partially indexed or not at all now?
What is the exact message Google says about the livechat?
If the on-page code is causing problems then the good advice from Ben won't help until it is resolved.Kind Regards

Hi there
I answered a question a few minutes ago with the same layout, so don't be offended if you run across these suggestions again!
Here are some suggestions to help the process:
- Check your server responses
- Check your robots.txt and meta tags
- Verify your site in Google & Bing Webmaster Tools
- Check and see if there are any issues in Webmaster Tools
- Update your sitemap and upload it to Google & Bing Webmaster Tools
- Make sure your site is crawlable for Googlebot
- Google also crawls through inbound links to your site - take a look at your Local SEO for some potentially quick and easy wins
- Check your internal links to make sure they are follow
Running through those should help you find the issue rather quickly - hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Jimmy,
Thank you for your answering the question I stated above. What i forgot to tell in my story is that I already fetched as Google but the page only gets partially indexed. Since then, the situation hasn't changed and the page doesn't get's an indexation. Google says our livechat tool Zopim (type AJAX) blocks the crawling while other pages do get succesfully fetched while having the same tool.

Are the backlinks from external pages, rather than internal? If you can get an external backlink or two pointing at the page that may help indexation speed. The easiest - but least reliable for ensuring indexation - way would be to mention the new page on social media from a few accounts including Google +.

Hi,
If you do a 'Fetch as Google' in Google Webmasters Tools (under the Crawl menu) there is a submit to index button once it successfully finds the page.
Kind Regards
Jimmy

Should I "no-index" two exact pages on Google results?
Hello everyone, I recently started a new wordpress website and created a static homepage. I noticed that on Google search results, there are two different URLs landing on same content page. I've attached an image to explain what I saw. Should I "no-index" the page url? Google url.JPG In this picture, the first result is the homepage and I try to rank for that page. The last result is landing on same content with different URL. So, should I no-index last result as shown in image?

My translated pages are categorized as subpages of the originals / Importance of hreflang tags
Hi there We have a website that is originally in German, but has an English translation for all pages.
Technical SEO | | Jess_Smunch
I recently created a crawl map for it, which showed that all our translated pages are indexed as subpages of the German originals. I wonder if this is normal, or if it will have a negative impact on our SEO. If they are subpages, will Google still index and rank them with the same importance as the originals?
If not, what can I do to make them standalone pages and not subpages? Also, we have a few issues with hreflang tags that we cannot fix easily as our CMS does not give us a flexible option for editing our code. I wonder how much impact hreflang tags have on our ranking and if we can just disregards these issues? We use Hubspot as a CMS, if that matters. Thanks for your feedback!0 -

Post Site Migration - thousands of indexed pages, 4 months after
Hi all, Believe me. I think I've already tried and googled for every possible question that I have. This one is very frustrating – I have the following old domain – fancydiamonds dot net. We built a new site – Leibish dot com and done everything by the book: Individual 301 redirects for all the pages. Change of address via the GWT. Trying to maintain and improve the old optimization and hierarchy. 4 months after the site migration – we still have to gain back more than 50% of our original organic traffic (17,000 vs. 35,500-50,000 The thing that strikes me the most that you can still find 2400 indexed pages on Google (they all have 301 redirects). And more than this – if you'll search for the old domain name on Google – fancydiamonds dot net you'll find the old domain! Something is not right here, but I have no explanation why these pages still exist. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Is creating backlinks to Google places pages worth the time and money involved?
I have worked on a website and organically it is starting to do fine. The website itself is on the right track. Now, the places page, could use a little improvement. I did make sure it has the right categories, has all unique pictures and videos, it does have a good amount of reviews and even citations from other local directories, and even the website links to it. It does show up for some local searches but I would like it to dominate more. I've heard that if I've built links to that Google Places local page from other sources, it would rank higher and perform better. Is that true? Any other tips and tricks to make it perform better? Thank you
