Mobile website indexing
-
Hi
we have a mobile version of our website at mobile.gardening-services-edinburgh.com
its been live for 5, maybe 6 months, it has its own mobile-sitemap.xml
have tried submitting this sitemap to google and for some reason it does not index these pages
any ideas, most welcome

Like [Peter Nikolow](https://moz.com/users/view/397332) said, you need a special sitemap - that one for both like the code above or in his link i guess, or a special mobile sitemap. Your mobile Sitemap is not a mobile Sitemap, the mobile one should look like this:
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0"><url><loc>http://mobile.yourdomain.com/article100.html</loc></url></urlset>

You don't need BOTH sitemaps. You need ONE as i show you in mine link.

Hi
good ans. thanks
i already have a mobile-sitemap.xml
do i need both?

Why ever this page: /Edinburgh-driveway-installers.htm is indexed. The mobile friendly test workls on the sites I tested, also the not-indexed-once. So -> the bot see's the mobile version. Alternate and canocials seems to be ok, its just the indexing.
You tried a new sitemap? You should add the mobile url's included alternate in the existing sitemap:
<code><urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><url><loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/page1/</loc></url></urlset></code>

I check quick your site both desktop and mobile. Only that seems you missing is last step with sitemap. Please see here:
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/configurations/separate-urls
how Google recommend to annotate mobile webpages in sitemap.Rest is ok - you have alternate pages on desktop to mobile; you have proper canonical from mobile to desktop; you have some JavaScript redirect based on window.width that works too. Just sitemap links are missing.

Redirect our www.website.com to website. Com/target-keyword
Dear moz community I have been analyzing the websites that rank in top 20 for our target keywords. All of the top 20 sites except us have their websites re directing to websites.com/target keyword. This is due to probably because they have multiple city's and one of the target keywords term is cityname + word. My question is and idea - make a 301 to our www.website.com to /city-keyword and start linking to that page with new links. Would that bring any benefit? Seems that it's a very strong ranking signal. Any threats that I must take into account? We currently rank as #9

Is my website indexed correctly in Google - www.couponshop.co.uk
Our website www.couponshop.co.uk has just had a relaunch after a change of direction.
Technical SEO | | LaurenGT
A lot of the pages were redirected. When I checked the indexing of the website on Google, I put site:couponshop.co.uk and only two pages come up, but when I put site:www.couponshop.co.uk they all show up.
Is this correct or are we doing something wrong?0 -

Question on noscript tags and indexing
If I have a <noscript>tag on every page of my website with the same sentence over and over saying something to the effect of "Sorry our site uses Javascript, please enable javascript for the full site experience.", Webmaster Tools will tell me that one of the most common words on my site is "Javascript".</p> <p>Is this something to be concerned about from an SEO perspective? My site is obviously not about Javascript and I don't want to dilute my page's topic or authority by repeating words that are not relevant to the topic of my site.</p> <p>Thanks!</p></noscript>

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

Single URL not indexed
Hi everyone! Some days ago, I noticed that one of our URLs (http://www.access.de/karriereplanung/webinare) is no longer in the Google index. We never had any form of penalty, link warning etc. Our traffic by Google is constantly growing every month. This single page does not have an external link pointing to it - only internal links. The page has been indexed all the time. The HTTP status code is 200, there is no noindex or something in the code. I submitted the URL on GWMT to let Google send it to the index. It was crawled successfully by Google, sent to the index 5 days ago - nothing happened, still not indexed. Do you have any suggestions why this page is no longer indexed? It is well linked internally and one click away from the home page. There is still the PR of 5 showing, I always thought that pages with PR are indexed.......
