Google is not indexing all URLs
-
My website have company and events profile from 200 countries. So it does have lots of URL. Earlier in August 2014, Google used to crawl 90% of URLs we submit. Thing goes wrong when we shifted from http to https. We lost traffic. But we are gaining it slowly. Main concern is that, It still does not indexed all submitted URLs. It have crawled merely 8% of all URLs submitted. site address is businessvibes.com
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
It sounds like something may be getting blocked or not crawled correctly, possibly because of the move from http --> https. I assume this is handled by the .htaccess file?
I would also check to see if there are https page issues on the site. If it's bit, you may have to do some digging around, but you can see this by using Google Chrome --> right click on the page --> inspect element --> console. This will show you the errors on the page.

Hi Mossa,
Thanks for advice. We have already 2 millions of pages which are crawled. and good number of page views and session/day.
I will go with your point
-
You can see, almost all company and event profile have internal linking for other profile and events
-
We are doing that but we have pages in billion which is literally time taking as it have countries and events from 200 countries
-
It is very difficult to get backlining for billions of URLs, so branding and other activities are there to take care of that.
-
http to https have 301 redirection and all sitemap have been updated.

Before I start, why your website is using “_blank” even on internal links? This does not make any sense to me and I was literally pissed after three clicks.
Anyways, if you are interested in increasing the indexed pages here are the few things you could do:
- Improve internal linking of the website. Especially when possible link pages that are not indexed to the pages that are indexed.
- Get some social media shares (tweets) to pages that are not indexed.
- Build some quality links to the pages that are not indexed in Google.
Also, make sure that the 301 redirections from http tp https versions are correct and working and xml sitemap is updated.
If you do that I am sure that Google will not only index your pages but will also rank better from the desired key phrases.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Do you have sitemaps that could provide some insights into your indexation rate for the data that you've submitted?

Localhost:4444 Showing Up in Google Analytics
Hello All, Lately in my Google Analytics account I have noticed a referral source labelled: localhost:4444 The number of visits is really high from this source, but I have no idea (no clue!) what it actually means. Can anyone shed some light on what this is about? Should I be creating some sort of filter to screen out this as a referral source (assuming it is not legitimate)? Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

Tracking PDF Downloads in Google Analytics
Hi, I work on a site that allows users to download whitepapers after filling out a form. Once they do this they are redirected to a URL which is the PDF. We use Wordpress and these documents were uploaded to the media center. I've tried researching how to track these downloads in GA, since the code is not present on these pages, but have read a few different answers. Anyone have firsthand experience? Thanks!

Google Analytics Best Practice Set up for Clients
Hi When setting up new Google Analytics accounts for clinets what is the preferred/best practice. At present we have our own company google account and add new clinets this way (to our account) - the disadvantage with this, we can only grant them limited account access otherwise they would be able to view all the accounts we cretaed. Plus we can't link their adwords to the GA account we cretaed them. Is it best practice to set the client up with their own Google Account and then we just link to their account. Advise would be appreciated, thank you.
