Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the advice guys.

I am just putting together a list of sites that I want to approach. I sent out a few test emails last night so hopefully should get some replies today!

I have tried checking out a few of the big guest blogging sites out there but every time I create a killer article the site that offers to publish it is normally some suspiciously spammy side with a low Moz score.

Does anyone know any sites where guest bloggers can link up to swap high quality blog posts. Maybe one that requires some filtering of poor quality host blogs?

Thanks. I followed your advice and created sitemap as well as linking from another page internally. The page was then indexed within a few minutes. I think that although the page was linked to from my front page, the link was from a featured article slider, which the google bot may not have been able to crawl!

Thanks guys

Hi Guys

I wrote and published an article last night on my site but it is yet to be indexed. This is strange as articles are usually indexed pretty quickly. Could you have a quick look and see what the problem is?

Also all my Blog posts (in the blog section of the site) are not indexed as well (and I dont think they have been for a while) yet I dont have any messages from Google in my webmaster tools. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Hmm any ideas why the Reviews category tag is getting the Google spot and not the actual URL?

I have the Yoast SEO plugin installed on the blog and I though I set the categories to no-index!

Thanks for all of your help by the way!

Hmm sorry I didn't explain very well. When I type "www.londontri.com TomTom runner" only the main page of my site appears in the rankings. so I guess I have been hit with a penalty?

I posted this article last night:

http://www.londontri.com/325/tomtom-runner-gps-watch-review

It didn't appear in Google's index this morning despite me pointing a few high quality links to it (not keyword optimized links, just links from high quality forum posts)

On closer examination I thought that the problem could be due to a keyword stuffing penalty so I have made sure that I am not repeating too many words/word combinations using a keyword density checker but the article is still not indexed.

Any ideas what could be going on?
