Google Search Console indexes website for www but images for non www.
-
On the google search console, the website data is all showing for the www.promierproducts.com. The images however are indexed on the non www version. I'm not sure why.

Hi Mike,
Here's a Whiteboard Friday that talks about absolute vs relative URLs. It should answer your questions.
I'll provide a quick example. A relative URL is any URL that DOES NOT explicitly specify the protocol (e.g., "http:// " or "https:// ") and/or domain ( promierproducts.com ) and subdomain (www), which forces the visitor's web browser (or the search engine bots) to assume it refers to the same domain or site on which the URL appears. An example would be the way your logo file is referenced on your home page - /assets/images/Promier-Logo-250-Egnyte.jpg.
An absolute URL is the opposite, a URL that DOES explicitly specify the protocol, domain, and subdomain. Using the same logo file as an example, your absolute logo file would appear as www.promierproducts.com/assets/images/Promier-Logo-250-Egnyte.jpg in the code.
The Whiteboard Friday explains why, from an SEO perspective, it is good to use absolute vs relative URLs.

Hi Donna, thank you for the reply. The default domain in 3dCart is www. I'm not sure what you mean by "change all your URLs so they are absolute and include your subdomain and domain." Can you clarify that please? I appreciate it.

You are using relative URLs for most of your images. Look to see where you have set your default domain name in 3Dcart. Does it include the www suffix? Better yet, change all your URLs so they are absolute and include your subdomain and domain.

News articles on our website are being indexed, but not showing up for search queries.
News articles on distributed.com are being indexed by Google, but not showing up for any search queries. In Google Search, I can copy and paste the entire first paragraph of the article, and the listing still won't show up in search results. For example, https://distributed.com/news/dtcc-moves-closer-blockchain-powered-trades doesn't rank AT ALL for "DTCC Moves Closer to Blockchain-Powered Trades", the title of the article. We've tried the following so far: re-submitted sitemap to search console checked manual actions in search console checked for any no-index/no-follow tags Please help us solve this SEO mystery!

Why isn't google indexing our site?
Hi, We have majorly redesigned our site. Is is not a big site it is a SaaS site so has the typical structure, Landing, Features, Pricing, Sign Up, Contact Us etc... The main part of the site is after login so out of google's reach. Since the new release a month ago, google has indexed some pages, mainly the blog, which is brand new, it has reindexed a few of the original pages I am guessing this as if I click cached on a site: search it shows the new site. All new pages (of which there are 2) are totally missed. One is HTTP and one HTTPS, does HTTPS make a difference. I have submitted the site via webmaster tools and it says "URL and linked pages submitted to index" but a site: search doesn't bring all the pages? What is going on here please? What are we missing? We just want google to recognise the old site has gone and ALL the new site is here ready and waiting for it. Thanks Andrew

Google indexing flash content
Hi Would googles indexing of flash content count towards page content? for example I have over 7000 flash files, with 1 unique flash file per page followed by a short 2 paragraph snippet, would google count the flash as content towards the overall page? Because at the moment I've x-tagged the roberts with noindex, nofollow and no archive to prevent them from appearing in the search engines. I'm just wondering if the google bot visits and accesses the flash file it'll get the x-tag noindex, nofollow and then stop processing. I think this may be why the panda update also had an effect. thanks
