Problem of indexing
-
Hello, sorry, I'm French and my English is not necessarily correct.
I have a problem indexing in Google.
Only the home page is referenced: http://bit.ly/yKP4nD.
I am looking for several days but I do not understand why.
I looked at:
-
The robots.txt file is ok
-
The sitemap, although it is in ASP, is valid with Google
-
No spam, no hidden text
-
I made a request for reconsideration via Google Webmaster Tools and it has no penalties
-
We do not have noindex
So I'm stuck and I'd like your opinion.
thank you very much
A.

Ah!
I've found it!
You have a canonical link on each page?
| rel="canonical" href="http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/Default.asp" /> |
This is not so good, as it is on http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/vins-vallee-du-rhone-nord.htm AND http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/PBHotNews.asp?PBMInit=1
If you remove that (and keep it on the start page) you should experience a whole lot of indexing in the following days
Best regards
Rasmus

You are correct. I've just found this page:
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
It says:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Allows all robots to all pages.So that was my mistake. I am truly sorry for the confusion.
I will have a look at it later to see if I can find a good explanation...

Hi Rasmus,
User-agent: *
Disallow:means that all robots can enter the site
User-agent: *
Disallow: /block all robots to enter.
User-agent: WebCrawler
Disallow:block WebCrawler robot, but other can enter
Always first line of robots.txt tells what robots can crawl a site and * means all. Second and next lines are pointing specific catalogues on a server e.g. Disallow: /admin/
So I think that is not a robots.txt issue - please ensure me
-
Hi again,
Do you use Google Webmaster tools?
In Webmaster tools you can see how many URLs on your site that has been restricted due to robots.txt file. Perhaps that could give you a clue.
I would recommend that you take a look at webmaster tools. All in all there are a lot of good information in there for optimizing your site.
Best regards
Rasmus

Thanks for your answer.
OK I will edit the file but I am not convinced that this is causing my problem because it was written that way.
Take care

Actually your robots.txt is NOT ok. It says:
Sitemap: http://www.syrahetcompagnie.com/Sitemap.asp?AccID=27018&LangID=0 User-agent: * Disallow: Which means that all pages are to be disallowed. You should have: User-agent: * Allow: /
If you change that, it should fix it!

Javascript content not being indexed by Google
I thought Google has gotten better at picking up unique content from javascript. I'm not seeing it with our site. We rate beauty and skincare products using our algorithms. Here is an example of a product -- https://www.skinsafeproducts.com/tide-free-gentle-he-liquid-laundry-detergent-100-fl-oz When you look at the cache page (text) from google none of the core ratings (badges like fragrance free, top free and so forth) are being picked up for ranking. Any idea what we could do to have the rating incorporated in the indexation.

Duplicate Page getting indexed and not the main page!
Main Page: www.domain.com/service
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Ishrat-Khan
Duplicate Page: www.domain.com/products-handler.php/?cat=service 1. My page was getting indexed properly in 2015 as: www.domain.com/service
2. Redesigning done in Aug 2016, a new URL pattern surfaced for my pages with parameter "products-handler"
3. One of my product landing pages had got 301-permanent redirected on the "products-handler" page
MAIN PAGE: www.domain.com/service GETTING REDIRECTED TO: www.domain.com/products-handler.php/?cat=service
4. This redirection was appearing until Nov 2016.
5. I took over the website in 2017, the main page was getting indexed and deindexed on and off.
6. This June it suddenly started showing an index of this page "domain.com/products-handler.php/?cat=service"
7. These "products-handler.php" pages were creating sitewide internal duplicacy, hence I blocked them in robots.
8. Then my page (Main Page: www.domain.com/service) got totally off the Google index Q1) What could be the possible reasons for the creation of these pages?
Q2) How can 301 get placed from main to duplicate URL?
Q3) When I have submitted my main URL multiple times in Search Console, why it doesn't get indexed?
Q4) How can I make Google understand that these URLs are not my preferred URLs?
Q5) How can I permanently remove these (products-handler.php) URLs? All the suggestions and discussions are welcome! Thanks in advance! 🙂0 -

Which URLs were indexed 2 years ago?
Hi, I hope anyone can help me with this issue. Our french domain experienced a huge drop of indexed URLs in 2012. More than 50k URLs were indexed, after the drop less than 10k were counted. I would like to check what happened here and which URLs were thrown out of the index. So I was thinking about a comparison between todays data and the data of 2012. Unfortunately we don't have any data on the indexed pages in 2012 beside the number of indexed pages. Is there any way to check, which URLs were indexed 2 years ago?

Large site rel=can or no-index?
Hi, A large site with tens of thousands of pages, but lots of the pages are very similar. The site is about training courses, and the url structure is something like: training-course/date/time I only really want the search engines to index the actual training course pages, which is the better option for me and why?: a) rel=canonical b) noindex, nofollow Thanks, Gary.

Duplicate Content/ Indexing Question
I have a real estate Wordpress site that uses an IDX provider to add real estate listings to my site. A new page is created as a new property comes to market and then the page is deleted when the property is sold. I like the functionality of the service but it creates a significant amount of 404's and I'm also concerned about duplicate content because anyone else using the same service here in Las Vegas will have 1000's of the exact same property pages that I do. Any thoughts on this and is there a way that I can have the search engines only index the core 20 pages of my site and ignore future property pages? Your advice is greatly appreciated. See link for example http://www.mylvcondosales.com/mandarin-las-vegas/

How can I block unwanted urls being indexed on google?
Hi, I have to block unwanted urls (not that page) from being indexed on google. I have to block urls like example.com/entertainment not the exact page example.com/entertainment.aspx . Is there any other ways other than robot.txt? If i add this to robot.txt will that block my other url too? Or should I make a 301 redirection from example.com/entertainment to example.com/entertainment.aspx. Because some of the unwanted urls are linked from other sites. thanks in advance.
